Christoph, I believe that you are right about our different shaping experiences. And indeed in my present work, the organizations that are finding me, and which I am finding, are not in "industry large and stiff" - they are "alternative" organizations which are ripe for this work without the need to release what I see as lots of calcified innappropriate structure. I have tried to make forays into large educational bureaucracies, with very limited success...in terms of Ichak Adizes' corporate lifecycles, these American educational systems are operating on artificial life support! I find the questions you ask to be profound and critically important ones, and if I ever achieve a contract with a business of the ilk you have worked with and are working with, you may expect my inquiries seeking advice. For indeed, what would motivate such a leader to take such a risk? Certainly he/she would need a high level of trust in an accomplished coach in a supportive relationship over time...?
Again, many thanks.
