1 h 2 Min

We all want to be successful. At work and in our private lives. Easier said than done. But how do you do it anyway? For our guest in the current SMP LeaderTalk, the answer is clear. The proven expert in the field of behavioral psychology Prof. Dr. Matthias Sutter is sure, success depends on many factors. One of the most important: patience. 

In an interview, he reveals to Georgiy Michailov why he believes that patience always has something to do with our decision-making behavior. How important it is that the economy should finally be about homo psychologicus instead of just homo economicus. And he takes the unpopular view that transparency can certainly be problematic.

In the current episode, the two get to the bottom of many more exciting questions: What does it take to really get to the top? Why are swimming against the tide so important? And what advantages does diversity have for us?
