Vogelhuber, Scheelen - What people really want

                     I  had  to  explain  why  a  flight  that  was  supposed  to  take  me  to  an
                     important  appointment  in  a  neighboring  country  had  to  be  canceled.
                     You can imagine that the canceled flight created a difficult situation for
                     me, as I had to cancel my appointment and laboriously explain why I
                     couldn't make it. In the end, a difficult decision for which a one-on-one
                     meeting  was  indispensable  had  to  be  postponed.  And  of  course,
                     important interlocutors at important meetings always assume that you
                     have to foresee and plan for all eventualities ...


                     So I'm at home, the phone rings ... "Hello, Popöchen, this is Ms. Meier"
                     - that's what I'll call the lady in the following - "from xy-Airline. You can
                     guess what it's about, namely your canceled flight." If you have read
                     this book up to this point and your knowledge of human nature is well-
                     developed, you know that I tend to be one of the more impulsive and
                     extraverted people. At least that's what my seminar participants know,
                     who have experienced me for a little longer ...


                     Well and good, me alone this horrible "Hello, Popö- chen" brought on
                     the  famous-notorious  palm.  I  gave  the  lady  to  understand  also
                     eloquently, at the latest now she should have been able to estimate my
                     sensitivities  and  also  my  reaction  or  behavior  better.  Instead,  Mrs.
                     Meier simply did not want to say goodbye to her casual jargon, in order
                     to explain to me in the most colorful colors why that flight had to be
                     more or less canceled. I almost thought we passengers were to blame
                     for the cancellation ...


                     You can imagine that the conversation did not lead to any constructive
                     result.  What  I  would  have  expected:  a  more  sensitive  and  delicate
                     response to my situation and sensitivities, a
