Irritation - the moment when all learning begins
Anne Gerhardts (M.A.)
We have to put it this way: Anne is uncomfortable in a deeply inspiring way. At least for everyone who has chosen the old advertising claim “I want to stay the way I am – you can!” as their motto in life. Anne's abilities often apply to people who are used to or who actually drive continuous changes in perspective. That is exactly what applies to her. As Paul Auster might say, Anne's mind leaps recklessly into the unknown. Then, when others allow themselves a perhaps well-deserved break, she really jumps in.
Anne was professionally socialized in health care facilities. She says: "All professional and private stations show me again and again that it is worthwhile to change perspectives and roles and to inspire other people to take this opportunity. This also includes passing on knowledge, methods and instruments. In this way, we all enable ourselves to take full responsibility for our own further development in an even deeper sense and to learn to appreciate it.”
Anne gets to the heart of the core competence of every development for our team, too, when she demands of herself to remain capable of irritation. Irritation is the moment when all learning begins, be it organizational learning or individual learning, but also our learning as organizational consultants. With every mandate, we cannot fall back on our own routines in organizational consulting, because organizations only follow their own routines, their own logic. You are asking for irritation? Yes we can!
