RethinkingAcademy: Change Often Means Loss – But Also Gain
This Rethinking Impulse reminds us that every change, no matter how unsettling, creates space for new opportunities and personal growth – if we shift our focus from loss to potential.
Rethinkography: The Dialectics of Self-Leadership – Why True Transformation Requires the Courage to Embrace Paradox
„I grant myself permission to dream boldly – and I commit myself to act with purpose. My foresight knows no bounds, my steps remain steady. I am both stag and donkey – unstoppable in my synthesis.”
The Metaphor of the Image: The Fusion of Dignity and Tenacity as a Principle of Self-Management
The cover image presents a striking hybrid figure: an impeccably dressed man in a tailored suit, his head that of a majestic stag, crowned with an imposing set of antlers. The stag, a symbol of grace, wisdom, and sovereign presence, stands as an archetype of vision and transcendence. Yet, juxtaposed beside him is a stylised, geometric representation of a donkey – an animal often associated with stubbornness and toil, yet equally emblematic of resilience, quiet strength, and underappreciated endurance.
Praxisberatung ohne Rethinking? Warum Dein Erfolg verpufft, bevor er beginnt.
„Nachhaltige Veränderungen des Praxismanagements beginnen im Kopf – nicht mit Tipps und Tricks.“
Worum es geht
Es ist ein bekanntes Muster: Eine Hausarztpraxis oder Facharztpraxis steht vor Herausforderungen – sei es wirtschaftlicher Druck, ineffiziente Abläufe oder ein steigender Patientendurchsatz bei gleichzeitigem Personalmangel. Eine Praxisberatung wird beauftragt. Der Berater analysiert die Abläufe, gibt Empfehlungen, liefert ein Maßnahmenpaket. Für einen kurzen Moment scheint sich etwas zu ändern. Dann kehrt der Alltag zurück – und mit ihm die alten Muster.

Rethinking: Change Often Means Loss – But Also Gain
„Adaptability turns uncertainty into opportunity.“
Introduction & Context: Why This Topic Matters So Profoundly
Change rarely arrives as a welcome guest. More often than not, its first impression is loss – the dissolution of something familiar, the disappearance of a sense of security. This holds true across domains, whether in professional contexts – such as organizational restructuring, career transitions, or the abandonment of well-worn processes – or in the private realm, when relationships end, homes are left behind, or long-standing routines are disrupted.

RethinkingAcademy: The VIA Model – Why Leaders Must Redefine the Meaning of Virtue in Action
This Rethinking Impulse invites leaders to fundamentally rethink the VIA model, recognising character strengths not as decorative ideals, but as essential drivers of authentic leadership, psychological resilience, and sustainable team culture in the face of modern leadership challenges.
Rethinkography: The Rusted Hinge and the Art of Cognitive Agility
„It is not the world that changes – it is the way you adapt to it.”
The Metaphor: Blocked Mechanisms of Self-Management
A hinge is a conduit of motion – it enables movement, opens doors, grants access. Yet when it rusts, it loses its function. It stiffens, creaks under strain, or seizes entirely. This rigidity serves as a profound metaphor for self-management: where flexibility and adaptability wane, obstacles arise, stifling progress and obstructing evolution.

Rethinking: The VIA Model – Why Leaders Must Redefine the Meaning of Virtue in Action
„From Idealism to Leadership Realism.“
What it’s all about
For decades, leadership discourse has been saturated with terminology, models and frameworks, many of which have taken root in the minds of leaders without ever being subjected to deeper scrutiny. Some of these concepts have proven to be of enduring relevance, while others have ossified into unchallenged dogma, entirely detached from the true complexities of leadership and self-governance. The VIA model serves as a prime example of such intellectual drift. Originally conceived as a framework for the cultivation of character strengths, it has in many organisations been reduced to little more than a decorative tool – ensnared in a web of misconceptions, misinterpretations, and toxic mental shortcuts.
RethinkingAcademy: Future Skills – Many mistake adaptability for a loss of control
This Rethinking Impulse reveals why true adaptability is not about losing control, but about mastering your response when life defies your expectations — turning uncertainty into a stage for conscious self-leadership.
