Preface
Does this sound familiar? A friend complains to you about a terrible other person – and somehow, as you listen, the impression arises in you that the friend also has a share in this problem …
The first version of this fairy tale was written eight years ago. I had observed the theme of not being aware of one’s effect on others again and again in others or in myself and I wanted to encourage people in a metaphorical way to rethink.
Here are a few episodes from my work that show where this topic has crossed my path in my career: In my work at school, I noticed that there were students who “bothered” some teachers and not others, regardless of whether the subject was interesting to them or not. Later, as a trainer for team development and conflict management, I was asked by teachers to get their students to interact better with each other. I almost always found that the way the teachers approached them played an important role. As a mediator, I experienced parents who felt misunderstood by their children and could not see their own part in it. Or that managers who asked me to mediate between their employees, were surprised when I asked to speak to the managers themselves.
In my preliminary conversations on team development in companies I started to ask the managers at the beginning whether they would be willing to participate in coaching as well. This was often refused. If it then became clear that there was a lack of clarity in the communication of the manager or in the team roles, or that there was an unconscious aversion to individual employees, my hands were bound without permission to also work with the manager.
At some point, I began to negotiate the consulting of the manager together with planning the team development, which led to much more sustainable results of this work. The prerequisite, of course, was an attitude of non-judgment, respect for the leaders and the reasons for their behavior. Then, when a side-by-side approach emerged, together we were always able to find solutions for all involved. Sometimes that included a manager changing careers or employees leaving the team in mutual agreement.
