Topics

The Mediocrity Trap – Why You Must Push Beyond Your Limits
Anyone who wants to take a new path must leave the old one behind. Mediocrity leads to no innovation. Motivation and a willingness to take risks require a healthy and constructive error culture within the company.


The Future Will Happen – One Way or Another: We Must Be Prepared for Both
Whether it’s Industry 4.0, migration, or digital transformation – society is undergoing constant and unpredictable change. To keep pace with an ever-evolving market, innovation must continuously open up new paths. Those who want to take a new path must use their talent to break away from the old one. Not naïve optimists, not fearful pessimists – what we need are possibilists.


Genes, Opportunities, Talents – How to Manage Your Talent (or Your Team’s)
Genetic potential must be discovered through hard work and transformed into exceptional performance through practice, practice, practice – that’s the formula for success. Spending too much time fixing weaknesses takes away from developing strengths, and leads to mediocrity – the greatest enemy of innovation.


Individuality, Creativity, Motivation, Teamwork – The Key Ingredients for Tomorrow’s Success
The power of a creative individual unfolds best within a team. But how must a team of strong individuals be structured to succeed? And what role must leaders play in the process?
