Here’s how it worked:
* 1 hr of intense conversation with partners to discuss the nature of the concern, likelihood of benefit to intervene, and the outcome expectations.
* 1 hr of preparation to locate appropriate tests in German to evaluate the individual’s possible motivation to change
* 1 hr of evaluation in working with the individual and providing aftermath treatment plan involving local practitioners (no international or resort destination).
* 2 hr conversation with partners to discuss changes in the business ecosystem to adjust current work conditions to help alleviate stress with fellow workers.
* 2 hr follow up with individual to provide direction, support, and follow through with recommendations.
....I will follow up this post with an outcome summary on how I / we performed in bringing about organizational as well as individual change.
