Ep. 138: Karsten Drath & Uwe Achterholt, how to transform Exhausted Organizations? (Live)

In this special live episode of Leaders Talk, recorded in Lviv during a visit to partner NGOs of the Cosmikk-Foundation, Karsten and Uwe explore why so many transformation efforts stall and what organizations can do when energy, trust, and focus are depleted.

At the heart of the conversation is a core assumption of Organizational Coaching: exhaustion is not simply a side effect of change, but a systemic signal pointing to deeper misalignments in leadership, culture, and ways of working. They discuss the risks of acceleration traps, corrosive dynamics, and silent resignation, and explain why a meaningful “North Star” must live in people’s minds, not just on strategy slides.
