"Knigge" als die eine Referenz für Benimmfragen wird bei uns viel zu oft auf Tischkultur reduziert. Vorschriften, als die sein Werk "Über den Umgang mit Menschen" (1788) heute verkauft wird, lagen Adolph Freiherr von Knigge, dem berühmten Denker aus dem 18. Jahrhundert aber fern. Vielmehr beschäftigte ihn der achtungsvolle Umgang mit sich selbst und anderen. Und darum geht es auch in diesem Hörbuch: Situationen des ganz normalen Wahnsinns in unserem (Business-) Alltag und darüber hinaus werden beleuchtet und mit achtungsvollem Blick neu durchdacht.

Höfliche Umgangsformen und die Fähigkeit, auch in prekären Situationen souverän und freundlich zu bleiben, sind sehr wichtig. Viele...

"Si tu veux être international, chante ton pays", disait Beethoven. Sur quoi se joue un match de foot ? Sur le talent des joueurs ? Non, sur un terrain de foot. De même, la stratégie ne se joue pas sur un timbre-poste mais sur le plus vaste terrain qui soit, le monde.

C'est aussi un axe stratégique que seule la crainte du pléonasme nous interdit de qualifier de fondamental pour une entreprise digne de ce nom.
