Enjoy! Interview with Prof Edgar Schein - "Helping & Leadership"



Why do crucial and vital items of information only get to decision makers too late or not at all? How can you ensure "upward und lateral communication" in your own context? What is "helping", what are the three roles of helping? What is "humble inquiry" in a leadership role and what do you achieve with it?
