"That sounds good. But that's not how it works here."
I hear this sentence regularly in trainings.
And I would have said it myself back then.
I led for more than 20 years – as Sales Director Europe and as Managing Director DACH.
I know the moment when a decision is due even though important information is still missing. I know the pressure from above and, at the same time, the expectations from below.
That's why I don't treat this objection as resistance to the training.
Because most of the time, the objection is right.
The decisive question is:
What is still possible within these real constraints?
Leadership trainings rarely fail because of the model.
They fail because the participants' reality is given no place in the room.
