#17 | Pattern change in the economy, New Work and Bullshit-Bingo

Freedom and flexibility instead of rigid structures and complex processes. New Work promises a sustainable future world of work. What sounds good in theory barely takes place in practice. Why not? Because approaches we have used up to now fall short. What we need to really change something is a true change in pattern. Of this Markus Väth is absolutely sure. In the current LeaderTalk, he reveals to Georgiy Michailov, Managing Partner with Struktur Management Partner, what he means.

His approaches go beyond existing thought patterns. He relentlessly uncovers weak points and rethinks the world of work. And in doing so, he turns our working landscape completely inside out. At the centre of his somewhat different New Work approach is the human being. Because people are what make the difference, Väth is sure. As managers, for example. But only if they understand that a sustainable working world is linked to freedom, personal responsibility, meaningful work, development and social responsibility.

However, Väth not only explains the role of leadership in his New Work approach, but also discusses in the talk the fact that social media strongly emotionalise our discussion culture. He also shows how urgently we must get away from bullshit bingo and why a look at professional sport shows that sometimes, we simply have to get on with it.
