Even if most managers cannot (yet) throw and catch 3 balls in a row, they are all jugglers! Everyone juggles at a high level. Daily. You juggle tasks, priorities and deadlines. They all have a boss (and/or have employees) and are constantly overloaded with information thanks to e-mail, mobile phones and business mobility. Managers always have several projects that are running at the same time and have to be accounted for. The individual is often overwhelmed or experiences or feels insecure. Hectic is normal, calm and serenity are the exception. This combination of "juggling with balls" and "juggling in everyday management" is the leitmotif for this little book.
Both - leadership and juggling - deal with success, trust, change processes, goal setting, perception and flexibility. When juggling, managers subconsciously work on their attitude, their approach or their distance towards “new things”, on their energy, their personal disposition and their willingness to change. Juggling not only sharpens the senses but also (requires) skills such as concentration, balance, rhythm, coordination, flexibility, openness, creativity, measured use of energy, decisiveness and much more. All of these are skills required in business and get a new dimension of experience through juggling. Tolerance, the ability to cooperate and understanding are derived from this.
Juggling is an art of movement that is also known as “music for the eye”. That means: you juggle with almost all your senses. In recent decades, the health-promoting and healing effects of juggling have been systematically studied. Kinesiologists confirm that juggling, among other things, stimulates and activates the cooperation between the two halves of the brain. Brain researchers from various universities have even found that juggling expands brain cells. Stephan Ehlers now explains in his book that juggling and the process of learning to juggle personal patterns become visible and tangible. This is why juggling is so well-suited for executives and those responsible for success.

Juggling is seeing pictures. The more concrete you see an image/goal, the easier it is for you to achieve it.
Juggling is a very simple and personal way of dealing intensively with situations of change and the resulting insecurity. Anyone who has dealt intensively with change and uncertainty will discover a number of resources that help to successfully manage changes in the company. When learning to juggle, the following questions are (unconsciously) addressed: What gives me security? How much security do I need? How much can I let go when things don't go according to plan? How do I deal with the feeling of insecurity that learning to juggle always triggers? - Change is only successful if managers first focus on themselves. Because organizations are only capable of change if it is their own leadership! That's why, from Stephan Ehlers' point of view, it is so extremely important that executives deal with their attitude and willingness to change their own willingness and ability... that's exactly what you will experience when you learn juggling.
