Organizational Coaching for a Complex World: Transforming Companies Through Inner Growth

By Uwe Achterholt and Karsten Drath

True organizational transformation is never linear. It unfolds in cycles of tension and insight, experimentation and reflection. This book introduces a holistic approach to organizational coaching that embraces complexity, emergence, and co-creation as central principles of change.

Unlike conventional models that treat change as a sequence of tools or phases, Organizational Coaching guides practitioners through an open, iterative journey. The process begins with collective orientation around a shared purpose (the "North Star") and evolves through an ongoing dialogue between structure and culture. Step by step, leadership teams, employees, and coaches and engage in multi-modal interventions -- from individual coaching to large-scale workshops and social impact projects -- that interact and reinforce each other.

Written by experienced practitioners, this work integrates systems thinking, vertical development, and organizational resilience into a powerful approach for those seeking to navigate transformation from within. It is a book for leaders, coaches, and change agents who want to move beyond symptom treatment toward real systemic shift.
