Rethinking: The Abilene Paradox – Why Leaders Should Question Their Decisions
A Rethinking Impulse by Klaus-Dieter Thill
What it’s all about
Have you ever found yourself nodding in agreement during a meeting, only to later realise that you and your colleagues collectively endorsed a decision that none of you truly supported? This perplexing phenomenon, known as the Abilene Paradox, illustrates the irony of group decision-making where outcomes emerge that align with no individual’s true preferences, driven by an underlying pursuit of harmony and an unspoken fear of dissent. For leaders, this raises a pivotal question: how often do you allow an illusion of consensus to obscure your true leadership objectives?

What it’s all about
Have you ever pondered how words can truly alter your state of being? How a simple phrase can redirect your thoughts and actions onto an entirely new path? The transformative power of affirmations is not merely a fleeting trend within the realm of personal development; it is a potent tool for every leader. To “rethink” this concept is to unlock a profound approach to leadership – one that transcends self-management and exerts a ripple effect on the dynamics and growth of entire teams. A leader who integrates affirmations into their daily life creates not only a personal sphere of growth but also inspires their team to exceed their own boundaries.

A Rethinking Impulse by Klaus-Dieter Thill
What it’s all about
Have you ever wondered how often your actions in leadership truly align with your deepest aspirations and values? In an increasingly complex and digital professional world, leaders face the challenge not only of guiding their teams but of continuously recalibrating themselves. The ability to pause and profoundly question one’s perspective – in essence, to “rethink” – has become an indispensable skill. A method that offers profound support in this regard is the WOOP framework. This discourse explores how rethinking your leadership with WOOP can elevate your mindset and actions to new heights, and how you can apply this approach to personal self-management as well as to your role as a leader to leave a lasting impact.

Introduction: Redefining Time in Leadership Through Rethinking
How often have you caught yourself murmuring, “I just don’t have the time”? Perhaps it was a fleeting thought between meetings, or a quiet admission at the end of an endless workday. Time, for leaders, is both elusive and finite, often slipping away under the weight of pressing demands. Yet, what if we paused to question this notion? What if “I don’t have time” is not a statement of fact but a call to rethink our relationship with time itself? For those at the helm, rethinking time is not a luxury; it is an essential shift that redefines personal management and transforms the very essence of leadership.

Introduction: The Essential Role of Rethinking Intuition in Leadership
Have you ever felt that inexplicable sense of knowing, that quiet, guiding whisper that somehow seems wiser than logic? For leaders, intuition often feels like a fleeting instinct, a flash of insight that arrives without warning. Yet how often do we dismiss it, relegating it to the periphery of our decision-making in favour of hard data and rational analysis? Intuition, however, is no mere bystander. When cultivated, it emerges as a powerful ally, an inner compass finely attuned to the subtleties of human behaviour, motivation, and organisational dynamics. For a leader, rethinking intuition isn’t just an exercise in self-awareness; it is a vital practice that bridges the rational and the instinctual, the conscious and the unconscious – a means to navigate complexity with clarity and authenticity.
