#7 | The myth of “motivation, conflict and victimhood” – why the decision is actually in our hands

Why enduring suffering is easier than taking action is a core question explored in the work of Dr Reinhard K. Sprenger, who is a prominent expert on management and leadership in German-speaking countries. In an interview conducted by Georgiy Michailov, Managing Partner of Struktur Management Partner, Dr Sprenger explains why constant authenticity is not desirable, for the ultimate goal for managers is always self-management. Leadership is effective when it empowers other people and organisations to lead themselves.
So it’s not about motivating others; it’s about avoiding demotivation and promoting personal responsibility. Finding motivation and the courage to take a decision are thus up to each individual, as the successful business writer explains. Tune in to the latest podcast to hear more about the myths surrounding motivation, culture, purpose, and conflicts as well as a number of decision-making tips.
