German term

Ich in Euch

German to English Social Sciences Management
Jede Veränderung baut auf der Bereitschaft auf, „sich“ oder „etwas“ verändern zu wollen. Das Projektteam als „Ich“ wird versuchen, die kollektiven – und teilweise auch divergierenden - Wünsche des Unternehmens und seiner Mitarbeiter*innen so gut wie möglich umzusetzen, um für jedes ****„Ich“ in „Euch“*** den Wandel so angenehm wie möglich zu gestalten.

I don't have more context than this. It is just a brief snippet of text.

Thanks!

the individual within the larger group

It seems best to spell out what "Ich" and "Euch" stands for. Even in German, this "Ich" and "Euch" stuff sounds a little odd..

"Any change is predicated on readiness to change "oneself" or "something". In order to make change as pleasant as possible for each "individual" within the "larger group", the project team, as advocate for the "individual", will try to the best of its ability to put into action the collective and at times diverging ideas of the company and its employees."

Agree. I should have taken them out since they're no longer needed.
disagree Gordon Matthews : The project team is not 'an advocate for the "individual"', but rather an "I" in its own right, i.e. a person with their own individuality.

That sounds kind of contradictory to me

"I" in "you"

I would translate the sentence as follows:
The project team as an "I" will seek to realise the collective - and sometimes divergent - wishes of the company and its employees as far as possible, in order to make the transition as pleasant as possible for every "I" in "you".

I'm guessing that the text is addressed to the company's employees who would understand that they are themselves the "you".
