Wendemanöver : Die geheimen Wege zur Wiedervereinigung. Das Ende der Kohl-Legende (3446402713)

Der Zusammenbruch der DDR und der Mauerfall kamen völlig überraschend, Kohl nutzte die Gunst der Stunde und leitete die deutsche Wiedervereinigung ein. Das ist die offizielle Lesart - bis heute. Dieses Buch macht mit dieser Kohl-Legende Schluss: Die Hauptakteure der Wende wurden keineswegs von den Geschehnissen 1989 überrascht. Vielmehr war sie das Resultat langjähriger konspirativer Verhandlungen und geheimdienstlich gesteuerter Aktionen zwischen West und Ost. Bereits Anfang der 80er-Jahre finden Geheimgespräche über eine größere Öffnung der Mauer statt. 1983 vermittelt Franz-Josef Strauß der wirtschaftlich angeschlagenen DDR einen Milliardenkredit und unterminiert damit diese Sondierungen. Doch das bringt nicht dauerhaft Hilfe: 1986 errechnet das Ministerium für Staatssicherheit in einer Studie den wirtschaftlichen Zusammenbruch der DDR in spätestens vier Jahren. 1987 signalisiert Gorbatschow Kohl eine Lösung der deutschen Frage. 1988 wird Kohl der erste Vorschlag gemacht. Doch de...

Uproar : Calm Leadership in Anxious Times (9781538116531)



If "these are the times that test men's souls," never more than for the leader's ability to think clearly, to be present calmly, and to challenge effectively. It's a time when leaders cannot be as anxious as those they serve; otherwise, the system is leaderless. Anxiety flows down like water from a leaky pipe. To lead effectively we must understand the impact of powerful emotional forces on people's behavior, especially in anxious times.
Uproar: Calm Leadership in Anxious Times helps leaders understand the powerful impact that emotional processes have on the people they lead. Peter Steinke, bestselling author of Congregational Leadership in Anxious Times draws on decades of work on system conflict and personal experiences to share real stories of challenges leaders have faced and how understanding the power of emotions has dramatically influenced their success. In this book, readers will observe important leadership characteristics such as separating oneself from the surrounding anxiety, making decisions based on principle and not instinct, taking responsibility for one's own emotional being, staying connected to others including those who disagree with you, being a non-anxious presence, focusing on emotional processes rather than the symptoms they produce, knowing people naturally influence one another, and recognizing leader and follower as complements. At the end of each chapter, there is a Leader's Notebook, a short section to illustrate, enrich or engage your thinking about leadership. As Steinke suggests, being anxious causes you to lose perspective, and leaders do their best thinking when they are not overly stressed and can think about options, doing their best work when they work on themselves. So where are you in your leadership journey? No matter where you are-beginning, middle or end- this book will be one the most significant leadership books you'll read.

The Moth in the Iron Lung : A Biography of Polio (9781717583673)

A fascinating account of the world's most famous disease-polio-told as you have never heard it before. Epidemics of paralysis began to rage in the early 1900s, seemingly out of nowhere. Doctors, parents, and health officials were at a loss to explain why this formerly unheard of disease began paralyzing so many children-usually starting in their legs, sometimes moving up through their abdomen and arms. For an unfortunate few, it could paralyze the muscles that allowed them to breathe.Why did this disease start to become such a horrible problem during the late 1800s? Why did it affect children more often than adults? Why was it originally called teething paralysis by mothers and their doctors? Why were animals so often paralyzed during the early epidemics when it was later discovered most animals could not become infected? The Moth in the Iron Lung is a fascinating biography of this horrible paralytic disease, where it came from, and why it disappeared in the 1950s. If you've n...
