    About this ebook

    What, according to Peter Stinckens – one of Europe’s most successful coaches and consultants – is wrong with the way managers organize and run their businesses?
    This book will not offer you theoretical analyses and answers, but seven chapters that will hopefully make you think about the way you – and many others – often sabotage your own success.
    Peter’s work is based on the latest findings in sociology, psychology, neurology, behavioral economics and many more disciplines and on his vast experience both as a manager and as a coach.
    As an international consultant and executive coach, he uses these insights to help people and organizations to dramatically improve their results.
    With 12 years experience as a coach and consultant and a prior ‘field’ experience of twenty years as a key account manager, branch manager, plant manager, CCO and CEO to 3 organizations, Peter always succeeds in making a bridge between scientific insight and the practical issues managers meet on a daily basis.
    The seven chapters in this book can help you to find solutions for your own daily challenges. Or at least, they will help you to start your own process of questioning your own approach to leadership and management.
    This is the first publication of Peter that is released in English. Other titles will be available soon.

    Peter Stinckens

    Hi, My name is Peter Stinckens (Just Peter is OK, I know my surname is hard to pronounce in many parts of the world). I was born about fifty years ago, in 1963 in Bocholt, a small town in the north of Belgium, just about 80 miles from Brussels. Before starting university at the Catholic University at Leuven (one of the oldest and most prestige's in the world), I studied economics (St Michaels' College) and got a higher degree in music (at the NIKO). Age 17, I left for Leuven where studied Philosophy, Musicology and Psychology. After the mandatory year of military service (In Liège), I started working in Leuven. I started out as a shop manager (Musical Instruments) en continued my career is a sales rep, Key Account manager, Sales Director, Plant manager, Branch manager and as a CEO. Meanwhile I did some studies in Telematics (Industrial High school Antwerp/Maline) and got an MBA. In 2003 I decided to take a sabbatical year, and get ready to get married (which I did in 2004 with Saartje. We now have 3 children and are living in Boutersem, Belgium). peter-lezing The sabbatical lasted exactly 3 weeks, when I got a call from a former colleague CEO, who asked me to come and help him out with some challenges he faced. That was the end of my free time. I started my own consultancy and never looked back. In 2005 I incorporated the organization (House Of Imagination bvba). Today, twelve years on, I help and serve a vast number of local and multi-national companies. I coach, train, consult an audit organizations and managers. And I do it with a considerable amount of success. My insatiable curiosity for the working of the human mind, combined with my vast experience allow me to find unexpected but hugely successful solutions for a vast number of challenges entrepreneurs, managers and companies face. Now, age 50, I still love what I do. To challenge myself, I regularly take up missions as crisis manager, interim C-Level and try to associate myself with several companies (one at the time) in different fields of endeavor, just to understand how our (business)world works on an ever larger scale.

      Preface

      I know, this has been long overdue. After twelve years working for many international companies, I could no longer avoid writing a book in English. A great deal of my partners speaks a different language then my local partners (who usually speak Dutch or French).

      And I mostly publish in Dutch (14 books and counting, with unto now over 1.000.000 copies sold or downloaded). My articles are published in Dutch (and some are translated into several languages). But there was no consistent input in a language most everyone I deal with understands.

      So here it is. There’s the new Blog (www.stinckenspeter.wordpress.com) and the new English part of my website, to satisfy all your demands. And now there’s this; 7 things for managers to think about. It’s a collection of 7 issues that I encounter on a regular basis as a coach and consultant. It’s a start. The book I promised (What’s holding you back) will be here by the end of november, until then, I offer you this book, just as an appetizer.

      I hope you like it. I hope you find some different approaches to your job or situation in it. But above all, I hope it makes you think about some of the long held believes, most of us share and question the way we think and work.

      Because that’s the first step to growing, learning and improving your life; having the courage to question yourself. If this book can help you do that, it will be the most important step you can take towards growing.

      We, as humans, have a tendency to shun away from new stuff, different ways of doing things and unconventional ways of thinking. We like to stick with what works (or seems to work) and by doing so we fail to see the many opportunities for improvement, growth and additional successes that present themselves on a daily basis.

      It might feel save, in our comfort zone, our normal routine. But outside a storm is raging. New things are happening, and demand new ways of thinking about how we run our companies. This book will not point you towards the best possible solutions. There are no longer any ‘best ways’.

      But
