Kevin Appleby interviews Thomas Zweifel about his career as an author and consultant. Thomas explains that he writes books based on mistakes he has made working with clients in different cultures and industries so that others can learn from his experiences. Thomas is an award-winning author. Some of the books he mentioned writing include Culture Clash, about mistakes made working in different cultures, and Strategy into Action. His most recent book, Gorilla in the Cockpit, discusses how biases at the start of projects can lead them to fail. Their discussion touches on the importance of culture when executing strategy. Thomas talks about discovering the "bottle" of underlying assumptions that guide an organization's thinking. He also emphasizes that the CFO has a key role to play in determining what activities are still relevant to the strategy and saying no to things that are obsolete. When discussing strategy in an uncertain world, Thomas advocates for his "Strategy and Action" approach of focusing on catalytic 100-day projects rather than multi-year plans. This allows organizations to test ideas quickly and adjust course if needed. Other topics covered include biases that can derail projects from the start, focusing each day on meaningful accomplishments, and using displays and routines to keep teams oriented towards strategic goals. Throughout, Thomas emphasizes examining assumptions and standing in the future as keys to strategic execution.

Coaching is a hot topic these days. Everyone is trying to become a coach, or trying to become a coach of coaches. But that is unrealistic for most of us. So what is the real value of this kind of book? What do we get, as leaders from where we are, when we understand coaching?

Thomas D. Zweifel ist überzeugt: «Die 10 Gebote sind topaktuell.» Darum hat der Managementprofessor die 10 Gebote aus dem Alten Testament neu interpretiert, für unsere alltäglichen Herausforderungen in der heutigen Zeit. Der Unternehmensberater und Autor sass am 11. September 2001 auf einer Bank an der Brooklyn Promenade in New York, als zwei Flugzeuge ins World Trade Center einschlugen. Dieses Erlebnis bezeichnet er heute als einen Schritt zu sich selbst. Der Referent und Buchautor sieht auch in der jetzigen Corona-Krise Chancen für eine gesunde Kurskorrektur. Thomas D. Zweifel ist Gast bei Ruedi Josuran. (Fast) alles zu den 10 Geboten unter «Die 10 Besten»
