Andreas Herz - Can it be a little faster?

Andreas Herz - Can it be even faster?

"Accelero, ergo sum" - I accelerate, therefore I am. Today we live and move at maximum speed through our lives. But what does that mean for our health, for our body, and our mind? A Swedish online service reports on an internet connection with a record speed of up to 40 gigabits per second (Gbit/s) made possible by a new modulation technique. This makes it possible for the first time to fully download a DVD in HD quality from the internet in just two seconds. The problem with this speed lies in the hardware, as there is currently no burner that can write at this speed. But what does the ever-increasing speed of technology bring us if our physical hardware, our body, cannot keep up with this enormous speed and we end up only getting sick from it. For us humans, the present lasts three seconds. While the processor under our skull already perceives its surroundings in 0.003 to 0.004 seconds, it takes three seconds to put together the information received into something understandable. The brain works with a basic vibration similar to the clock speed of a microprocessor, namely with a 30 to 40 thousandth of a second. This means that the brain captures the impressions of the different sensory organs between 25 to 33 times per second. However, it takes those three seconds to assemble the collected information into something meaningful and understandable. Only then is the present possible for our mind. Everything that falls within this three-second window is perceived as the present and felt as the here and now. If, for example, a handshake lasts longer than three seconds, it is perceived as unpleasant and strange. If we close our eyes for longer than three seconds while walking on the street, we become unsure and open them. During these three seconds, we detach ourselves from physical time, from the "vulgar time" as philosopher Martin Heidegger called it - in our thinking, however, we are still in the past or already in the future. Chronic stress, psychosomatic illnesses, and increasingly intense conflicts are the response to this. If we cannot detach ourselves from this enormous acceleration of the perceived inner time, the next crisis will hit us directly, in our bodies. The signs, in the increasing mental illnesses, are already there, even if we do not always want to acknowledge them. To counteract this development and to learn to master the enormous power of our inner acceleration, Andreas Herz developed the HERZResilience® Leadership Training during his 5-year battle against cancer, becoming a leading expert in resilience building and development. This new approach sees itself as a process-accompanying and process-analyzing way to support people and organizations in their respective development, because those who only have knowledge and talent are just at the beginning of their journey. The ideal manager, the ideal leader of today, must possess a series of essential meta-skills and be willing to continuously develop them. For a long time, the 7 principles of Bushido "Calmness of mind, strength and energy, courage and dedication, silence-mindfulness-kindness, wisdom and intuition, complete sincerity, and honor and loyalty" were considered the most important meta-skills in senior management. In today's resilience research, these old but effective and powerful meta-skills resurface in the 7 Western resilience factors such as "Emotion regulation, impulse control, empathy, causal analysis, goal orientation, realistic optimism" as well as in the area of self-efficacy belief, and are now seen as the new path to a new leadership culture - because only those who can lead themselves are capable of leading others.
