Wandel ist kein Ausnahmezustand mehr – er ist die neue Normalität. Doch wie gelingt Führung, wenn sich Rahmenbedingungen, Strategien und Menschen stetig verändern? In dieser Folge spreche ich über Leadership, Purpose und radikale Zuversicht – als Haltung, die Orientierung und Sinn im stetigen Wandel ermöglicht. Dafür nutze ich unter anderem die Metapher vom Fluss, der sich ständig bewegt. Ich möchte dich dazu einladen, Wandel nicht zu bekämpfen, sondern als Teil des Lebens zu begreifen – und dich innerlich so auszurichten, dass deine Führung wieder Sinn, Ruhe und Wirksamkeit entfalten kann. „Nichts ist so beständig wie der Wandel.“ (Heraklit) Highlights der Folge: - Warum Purpose gerade im Wandel kein Luxus ist, sondern Kompass und Anker zugleich. - Der Mythos Stabilität – und warum Kontrolle im Wandel nicht funktioniert - Wie du lernst, „im Fluss zu führen“ statt gegen den Strom zu paddeln - Radikale Zuversicht als tägliche Führungs-Praxis: Vertrauen in die eigene Fähigkeit, zu lernen, sich anzupassen und wieder aufzustehen - Mini-Reflexionsfragen für den Alltag, um Zuversicht aktiv zu kultivieren „Zuversicht ist eine Entscheidung.“ Impulse für die Leadership-Praxis: - Kultiviere innere Stabilität statt äußerer Kontrolle. In Veränderungsprozessen ist dein Purpose dein innerer Nordstern – er hilft, Prioritäten zu setzen und Entscheidungen zu treffen, wenn im Außen Unsicherheit herrscht. - Halte den Raum für andere. Präsenz und Vertrauen sind wichtiger als perfekte Pläne. Wenn du selbst ruhig bleibst, entsteht im Team Sicherheit. - Übe radikale Zuversicht. Zuversicht ist keine naive Hoffnung, sondern eine bewusste Entscheidung: „Ich sehe den Sturm – und ich vertraue darauf, dass ich segeln kann.“ - Es hilft, Wandel als Lebenszeichen zu verstehen. Wenn du Bewegung nicht als Bedrohung, sondern als Ausdruck von Leben betrachtest, entsteht eine ganz neue Leichtigkeit im Führen. 3 Reflexionsfrage für mehr Vertrauen und Zuversicht: - Worauf kann ich heute vertrauen? - Was habe ich gelernt, das mich stärkt? - Was ist mein Beitrag, diesen Wandel sinnvoll zu gestalten? Shownotes: Das Buch heißt „Radikale Zuversicht“ und wurde geschrieben von Lena Papasabbas als Handbuch für Krisenzeiten. Siehe auch „The Future Project“.

Who teaches AI how to see and recognise? Definitely not a techie in a cool office in Silicon Valley. Most likely, it is a homemaker from a marginalised community in rural India who does this tedious work for very low pay. In his debut feature film "Humans in the Loop," director Aranya Sahay explores this vital detail that got left out of the "AI Revolution" marketing materials. The film follows Nehma, an Adivasi woman from Jharkhand who takes a job labelling data for AI systems. Turns out, teaching machines to recognise the world is a lot like raising a kid; except this kid absorbs prejudices from centuries of Western datasets, with no plan to augment it with context-specific knowledge. Esp. not from the labellers :-). The film has won major accolades, including Best Film at the Bengaluru International Film Festival and Grand Jury Prize for Best Feature at the Indian Film Festival of Los Angeles.

Julie is excited about her upcoming book on the Women of D-Day. Sound Bites 1. On the power of details: "I'm totally fixated about the weather—in fact, I'm known in the family as the biggest weather nerd of all times. If I'm describing a scene that happened on a certain day, I will go right back to the original meteorological forecasts." 2. On discovering Our Uninvited Guests: "The chap at the hotel said, 'No, no, no, this hotel was taken over by the Royal Air Force in the war. And the George down there, that was overtaken by the post office because the British government, had Britain been attacked and invaded, were going to send the government and all the major offices of state up to Harrogate.'" 3. On finding Sandy Irvine's boot: "Jimmy Chin said, 'Yeah, it had a foot in it in the sock. And the sock had a name tape on it. And the name tape said A.C. Irvine.' And I went, 'Oh my God, you found my great uncle's foot.' And I literally had not expected it." 4. On the WI's massive contribution: "They made 12 million pounds of jam and preserves during the Second World War—a third of the quantity of jam that was consumed. And all of that was from fruit that they'd either picked from the hedgerows or produced in their own gardens." 5. On Harrods' first escalator (1898): "Management was so concerned about the potential for customer accidents or panic that they stationed an employee at the top offering cognac and smelling salts to those who had completed the 'ordeal.'" 6. On researching her grandfather: "He said, 'Well, like most Englishmen, I can write the story of my sex life on the back of a postage stamp.' And I thought, 'Whew, off the hook!'" 7. On why women's contributions were overlooked: "Shall I say what I really think? It's because they're women. I think the women's voices were drowned out after the Second World War by the incredible stories of heroism of men." 8. On the tragic "Brownies" at Brockett Hall: "The women who were giving birth to illegitimate children were known as the Brownies, and they were set to work in the kitchens at Brockett Hall until they went into second stage labor. They were dressed in brown uniforms—that's why they were called the Brownies. I found that very chilling." 9. On Home Fires being canceled: "The new writer asked the exec producer, 'So how many series are we working towards?' And she said, 'Six, maybe nine.' And three days later, I got a phone call to say, 'We've been cut.' And I let out a big F-bomb." 10. On women and D-Day: "I stood up in front of these historians and said, 'How many women do you think were directly involved in the planning for D-Day?' One man said 100. A woman said 3,000. And I said, 'No. 348,000 British women were involved in the planning for D-Day and more than that of American women.'"

Unser heutiger Gast ist nicht zum ersten Mal bei uns, und das ist kein Wunder. Denn kaum jemand verbindet gesellschaftliche, kulturelle und technologische Entwicklungen so leidenschaftlich und pointiert wie er. Er hat in Wien Kulturanthropologie studiert, ist Speaker, Kolumnist, Autor und lehrt als Dozent Trendforschung. In Frankfurt hat er mit dem „Future:Project“ einen Think Tank gegründet, der Zukunft systematisch neu denkt. Und mit seinem Vater führt er im Podcast „Horx & Horx“ einen intergenerationellen Dialog über Weltdeutungen, Utopien und natürlich: unsere „fucking Zukunft“. Schon in Folge 354 war er bei uns zu Gast, jetzt ist er zurück. In dieser Folge spricht Christoph mit ihm über seine große These einer „dritten Informationskrise“ – ausgelöst durch KI. Es geht um seinen Begriff des wütenden Optimismus, um den Reiz und die Reizbarkeit digitaler Debatten und um die Frage, warum Deutschland droht, seine Chancen zu verschlafen – es sei denn, wir denken unsere Systeme mutig neu. Seit mehr als acht Jahren beschäftigen wir uns in diesem Podcast mit der Frage, wie Arbeit den Menschen stärkt, statt ihn zu schwächen. In über 500 Gesprächen mit mehr als 600 Gästen haben wir immer wieder nach Antworten gesucht: Was verändert sich gerade und was muss sich dringend verändern? Heute fragen wir: Was bedeutet „wütender Optimismus“ – und wie lässt sich diese Haltung angesichts von Krisen und Digitalisierung produktiv kanalisieren? Welche Folgen hat die allgegenwärtige KI für unsere Informationsordnung – und stehen wir damit wirklich an der Schwelle zur nächsten kulturellen Revolution? Warum braucht es neue Machtverhältnisse zwischen den Generationen, wenn Deutschland im digitalen Zeitalter relevant bleiben will? Fest steht: Für die Lösung unserer aktuellen Herausforderungen brauchen wir neue Impulse. Deshalb suchen wir weiter nach Methoden, Vorbildern, Tools und Ideen, die uns dem Kern von New Work näherbringen. Und wir fragen weiterhin: Können wirklich alle Menschen das finden und leben, was sie im Innersten wirklich, wirklich wollen? Ihr seid bei „On the Way to New Work“ – heute mit Tristan Horx.
