Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Good ideas die in good companies - for reasons most leaders never see.Do you consider yourself a supporter of innovation? Do you hire talented people and tell your team that you have an "open-door policy"?The uncomfortable truth is: You are probably still an Idea Killer.In this book, Stefan Schweizer exposes the hidden ways in which experienced managers-often with the best intentions-create a culture of silence and risk aversion. It isn't the incompetent bosses who stall progress; it is the capable ones who, in trying to protect the status quo, inadvertently suffocate the future of their organization.What you will learn in this book: - The 8 Deadly Anti-Patterns: Why your instinctive "No" and your drive for quick answers kill creativity before it can even breathe.- The Mirror Effect: How to correctly interpret the silence in your meetings and why anonymous employee surveys are lying to you.- From Gatekeeper to Gardener: How to establish true psychological safety without falling into the trap of "soft" management.- The 24-Hour Protection Zone: Practical protocols to shield fragile new ideas from the harsh reality of corporate bureaucracy.This is not a theoretical management textbook. It is a radically honest guide filled with concrete "homework" for every week. It is an invitation to leave your ego at the office door and become a true enabler for the brilliance of your team.Stop managing. Start getting out of the way.
