New Economy needs New Work: Wie können wir eine Brücke bauen?

Tue, 26 Jul 2022 09:35:13 GMT

Hallo Zusammen und herzlich Willkommen zum leadership.sprouts Podcast.

Heute zu Gast habe ich meinen guten Freund und alten Arbeitskollegen Daniel Tröger.

Daniel ist heute Mitgründer von flowplace. Ein Unternehmen, welches Personalentscheidungen auf der Basis von Potential statt Lebensläufen ermöglicht und somit einen großen Beitrag zum menschenzentrierten und dynamischen Arbeiten leistet.

Wir sprechen über Daniels ganz persönliche Reise und schwelgen in alten Erinnerungen, die wir bei trivago machen durften.

Dabei teilen wir unsere ganz persönlichen Learnings und Erkenntnisse und wie all dies uns zu dem geführt hat, was wir heute machen.

Beide von uns teilen eine starke Überzeugung, dass es radikal neue Ansätze für das Arbeiten in der New Economy braucht und Wegbereiter, die diese Veränderungen begleiten.

Ich wünsche euch viel Spaß beim Zuhören!

Wie entwickelt sich die Persönlichkeit ... einer Organisation?

Tue, 12 Apr 2022 16:02:29 GMT

Hallo Zusammen und herzlich willkommen zu unserem leadership.sprouts Podcast!

Dieses Mal starten wir mit einer Prämiere: und zwar unsere erste deutsche Podcast Folge. Das werden wir in Zukunft häufiger machen und einen guten Mix aus Deutschen und Englischen Interviews zusammenstellen, immer abhängig davon, wie es unseren Gästen am besten von den Lippen geht.

In unserer heutigen Folge habe ich Carolin Stüdemann zu Gast. Caro ist Teil der Geschäftsführung von Viva con Agua und setzt sich in dieser Funktion nicht nur für den Zugang zu sauberen Trinkwasser ein, sondern fördert und entwickelt auch eine spannende und menschenzentrierte Kultur innerhalb ihrer Organisation.

Nachdem wir uns Ende letzten Jahres persönlich kennenlernen durften, wollte ich Caro unbedingt hierher einladen. Heute haben wir es endlich geschafft und obwohl wir noch soviel mehr hätten besprechen können, war ich ganz fasziniert von den ersten Einblicken in Caro's ganz persönliche Reise, ihre Wertebildung und -festigung und wie sie die Persönlichkeit von Viva con Agua prägt und mitentwickelt.

Bitte entschuldigt die Audioqualität auf meiner Seite. Caro ist ganz wunderbar zu verstehen!

Ich wünsche euch ganz viel Spaß und Inspiration mit diesem Gespräch!

Schön, dass ihr reinhört <3.

Wrapping Up the HEIDI Principles - Identity

Mon, 20 Dec 2021 09:23:18 GMT

How would you describe your business when describing it with the adjectives of a person?

responsible? goal-oriented? empathetic? brave? data-driven? empowering? supportive?

More interestingly, why would you even try to answer this question?

Corporate identity has emerged as a big field in organizational development, confronting companies with the question of who they really are: their core beliefs, the values they promote, and how they operate. Looking into our digitalized and fast-paced world you spot already the inefficiency of a rule-based approach which most corporates are still following. They are outdated the moment they are created. Values, in contrast, shape behavior and mindset and thus apply much better for navigating through dynamic and complex environments.

Dismantling Leadership - Safety vs Competition

Thu, 12 Aug 2021 20:58:52 GMT

Dismantling Leadership - a discussion round co-hosted by HHL and leadership.sprouts

Together with our guest Wilfried Gillrath (Entrepreneur and Investor), we talk about the mechanisms of Safety & Competition in an organization and how leaders need to find a healthy balance between them. Entering organizations, you quickly identify their operating systems: how people work together to create value and success for the company. As leaders, we are responsible for defining these operating systems. We define how performing our organizations operate. In this discussion round, we discuss what it needs to set up smart operating systems as the foundation of well-performing teams. Wilfried is Entrepreneur and Investor. Over the last two decades, he founded and invested in various companies in the field of (renewable) energy.

Thu, 01 Jul 2021 08:10:52 GMT

Dismantling Leadership - a discussion round co-hosted by HHL and leadership.sprouts

We invited Waldemar Zeiler and Philip Siefer from Einhorn GmbH to debate about whether there can be too much empowerment? Einhorn has ever since been a playground for alternative leadership and company culture concepts. And Philip and Waldemar embrace the philosophy of consequent implementation. Together with Rolf Schrömgens from leadership.sprouts and Stephan Stubner from HHL, we discuss these questions: What does it take to truly empower people? How much care and attention is needed to do it successfully? And when can it cause harm to people and to the performance of your organization?

Are you afraid of change? - The competitive advantage of building a dynamic organization

Sat, 29 May 2021 11:29:34 GMT

In this episode, we wrap our heads around the dynamic capabilities of an organization. We believe that we need organizations that constantly evolve and learn. Ultimately, the value of an organization will be less defined by what output it currently creates and much more by how fast it learns. How can we create such organizations? How can we avoid tapping into the traps of title and hierarchies which often lead to crystallized structures and thus decrease our ability to change and adapt?

Dismantling Leadership - How capital shapes leadership

Wed, 05 May 2021 12:20:55 GMT

Dismantling Leadership - a discussion round co-hosted by HHL and leadership.sprouts

Rolf Schrömgens from leadership.sprouts and Prof. Dr. Stephan Stubner (Dean of HHL) will discuss with their guest Florian Heinemann, founding partner at Project A Ventures, about the impact of external capital on young founders and their organizations.

With their investments VCs enable young founders to grow their businesses and achieve their visions. Or is their short-term oriented focus rather harmful to the actual fulfillment of a founder's goals? Let's discuss if today's capital structures rather support or limitate the development of productive & successful organizations.

Intrinsic Motivation - the power of passion & how money can destroy it

Fri, 26 Mar 2021 13:07:41 GMT

In this episode, we deep dive into the idea of intrinsic motivation, how you can make or break it. The way we look at productivity seems to be blurred by an approach that puts output generated above value created. If we are honest with ourselves, then often what we call productivity is limited to the amount of work done within a certain time frame. A reflection on whether this work was valuable or not is often missing. We still tend to tie employees to a pre-defined work schedule, to micro-manage them on projects due to missing trust, to work in stiff and ego-driven hierarchies. Yet, there might be better ways to increase our productivity: by offering the opportunity to match your own competencies and interests with ownership and autonomy and the right degree of challenge. In this episode, we want to elaborate on how such opportunities can be created and share our experiences and learnings.

Creating the best organization by losing control - how empowerment helps to win effectiveness

Fri, 26 Feb 2021 12:46:57 GMT

This episode is all about Empowerment. The term has been overused in the context of new work, but when we dive deeper into its meaning, we realize how important it is in order to create an effective organization. The main idea of empowerment lies within the creation of an operating system driven by the underlying assumption that people truly want to create value. As leaders, we're responsible for providing a safe space, meaningful tools, and confidence to empower individuals and a team to create value. Whereas being in control was a core strength of a leader in the past, letting go of control for the sake of productivity is a core strength of a leader today.

Humble is the new strong - how diversity creates real impact

Tue, 26 Jan 2021 14:48:20 GMT

In this episode, we're focusing on the H of our HEIDI Principles which stands for Humbleness & Diversity.

We believe that humble is the new strong. Confronted with huge complexity, it seems more favorable to be able to admit not knowing everything. Not overestimating the value of your own thoughts gives you the ability to create new ones. Humbleness becomes an accelerator of learning and personal development. Being able to change your mind evolves into one of the greatest gifts in a highly complex fast-changing environment. Different perspectives are vital to finding better solutions because they give us the chance to look at a problem from multiple directions and essential to compete in a complex environment. We gain these perspectives by welcoming the diversity of thought which is based on the diversity of our stories. We're happy to share our different experiences in leadership and what helped us to become a more humble person, knowing that there is still a long way to go..

Exponential Complexity - does leadership need an upgrade?

Mon, 18 Jan 2021 20:45:56 GMT

In this episode, we're discussing how leadership has to change when complexity is growing exponentially, why old narratives of a strong leader block information, and how building a strong information processor should be the main focus these days. Thanks for listening in.

We’re all about sustainable leadership. Sustainable leadership means creating long-term success in fast learning, identity-based organizations through humbleness, empowerment, intrinsic motivation, and diversity of thought. We genuinely believe that businesses run completely different today than 50 years ago, and so does leadership. If we want to build resilient and performing companies for the future, our understanding of leadership has to shift accordingly.
