Keine Folge ohne die DSGVO! Zu Beginn (00:50) werfen Prof. Niko Härting und Dr. Stefan Brink einen Blick auf eine Entscheidung des OVG Saarlouis (Beschl. v. 13.5.2025, Az. 2 A 165/24). Im Ergebnis zustimmend, aber in der Begründung abweichend, setzen sie sich mit dem Beschluss auseinander, in dem das OVG die spannende Frage der Abdingbarkeit von Art. 15 DSGVO in einem arbeitsrechtlichen Vergleich beantworten musste. Weniger erfreut zeigen sich die erfahrenen Podcaster anschließend (12:45) über eine Pressemitteilung des LG Leipzig zu einem Urteil (Urt. v.4.7.2025, Az. 05 O 2351/23), in welchem das Gericht einem Facebook-Nutzer eine vergleichsweise hohe Geldsumme zusprach wegen Datenschutzverstößen von Meta. Für den abschließenden (23:50) Höhepunkt der Folge sorgt schließlich jedoch weniger das Datenschutzrecht, sondern vielmehr die Besprechung eines Urteils des Bundesverwaltungsgerichts (Urt. v. 22.1.2025, Az. 2 WD 14.24). Dieses hatte einen bemerkenswerten Fall zu behandeln: ein Hauptfeldwebel schlief mit der Ehefrau eines Kameraden und sah sich infolgedessen vor einem Truppendienstgericht mit dienstrechtlichen Sanktionen konfrontiert. Entgegengesetzt zur Heiterkeit über den illustren Sachverhalt steht das Unverständnis von Prof. Härting und Dr. Brink über das Urteil, welches sie als nicht mehr zeitgemäß bewerten.

Daher haben Computerbase und PCGH zusammen mit ihren Communities eine organisiert und getestet, beide Seiten ein und dieselbe Karte.

"Mittel Alta" und Blackened Death Metal von "Kanonenfieber". Meep feiert eine Premiere, sie hat nämlich nicht nur Jurassic World Rebirth im Kino gesehen, sondern auch noch den allerersten Jurassic Park, das Original, nachgeholt. Worauf alle gewartet haben: die Öle. Ja, wir haben über die wichtigsten Öle gesprochen, die in keinem Haushalt fehlen dürfen. WD-40 zum Lösen von festen Dingen, Silikonöl zum Schmieren und Ballistol für den ganzen Rest, zum Beispiel für die Waffen. Oder die Schneidbretter. Oder um sich einzureiben. Es geht quasi für alles.

Jeff Lindeman, Chief People, Culture & Capability Officer at WD-40, joins the podcast to unpack the dual challenge every modern leader faces leading themselves and leading through change. Through personal reflection, bold transparency, and a people-first mindset, Jeff reveals how introversion, vulnerability, and authenticity can become surprising superpowers in leadership. In this deep-dive conversation, Jeff and Lee examine how seemingly small moments, like asking for time off or handling disappointment, can become pivotal points of leadership. Jeff walks us through lessons learned from his early career, how he doubled performance by showing respect, and how WD-40 cultivates 94% employee engagement in a world where the average is just 23%. From embracing AI with curiosity instead of fear to fostering trust through shared accountability, Jeff shows us that unleashing leaders isn't about having all the answers—it's about asking the right questions and showing up with intentional presence.

This past Sunday we had a little fun with some highly scientific Dad Stats:100% of dads think they're hilarious.94% of dads believe duct tape and WD-40 can fix anything.87% of dads are confident they're the “cool parent.”And dads everywhere continue to wage war on lights left on and doors left open with classic lines like: “I'm not paying to heat the whole neighborhood!”We celebrated some amazing fathers—from the youngest and oldest to the one with the most kids. It was beautiful. But beyond the laughs and lawn-mowing glory, we leaned into a powerful truth.There's a concept in physics called the Two-Body Problem—it's about how two objects (like planets or stars) interact with each other through gravity. Under the right conditions, they don't crash or drift apart—they move in beautiful, synchronized orbit.We explored how God and humanity are like those two bodies.We were created for a perfect orbit with our Creator. But sin disrupted that alignment. Our relationship with God was fractured—like two celestial bodies drifting apart.But then Jesus taught us to pray, starting with two words:“Our Father.”Not “Judge.” Not “Creator.” Not “The Distant One.”But Father. Abba.These two words reoriented the cosmos of our hearts. They were more than a phrase—they were the gravitational force that brought God and humanity back into relationship.When God becomes Our Father:We find our identity as sons and daughtersWe belong to a family, not just solo faithWe begin to heal, even if “father” has meant pain beforeIf you missed the message, find a moment to listen—it might be the reminder your heart needs.For more info, you can go to our website, check us out on Instagram, Facebook, or YouTube.

Real leadership isn't being the smartest person in the room. It's creating the kind of culture where people feel safe enough to say, “I don't know.”   In this episode, Alex Raymond talks with Garry Ridge, the former CEO of WD-40 and the author of “Any Dumb-Ass Can Do It.” Garry shares how a moment of “jumping in to fix it” early in his career completely reshaped his approach to leadership. That shift, from problem-solver to coach, set the foundation for one of the most admired cultures in business, with 93% employee engagement and a company-wide commitment to learning and accountability.   Garry explains why admitting what you don't know isn't weakness but the beginning of trust. He unpacks the idea of “dumbassery” as a leadership superpower, and why removing fear in the workplace creates room for growth, innovation, and genuine connection. What can happen when you stop calling things failures and start treating them as learning moments? What will change when your company values are more than just words on a wall?   This episode offers ideas for leaders who want to build purpose-driven companies without losing their people, or themselves, in the process. From the power of clearly ranked values to the surprisingly effective “Maniac Pledge,” Garry provides a framework for creating a workplace where people feel safe, supported, and proud to contribute.   Episode Breakdown: 00:00 Introduction 03:13 Learning Moments and Redefining Failure 05:25 “I Don't Know” as a Leadership Superpower 07:28 Psychological Safety and People-First Cultures 14:16 Purpose, Values, and the Will of the People 21:44 Purpose Beyond Product and Real Accountability 33:19 Leading with Love   Links Connect with Garry Ridge: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/garryridge/ Website: https://thelearningmoment.net/ Website Quiz: https://thelearningmoment.net/quiz/   Connect with Alex Raymond: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/afraymond/ Website: https://amplifyam.com/ HiveCast.fm is a proud sponsor of The Conscious Entrepreneur Podcast.

What happens when an organization fails to define its core values, allowing them to become mere decorative words on a wall rather than the guiding principles they are meant to be? Join me as I draw inspiration from my recent conversation with Garry Ridge, the Chairman Emeritus and former CEO of the iconic WD-40 Company. While the terms are often used interchangeably, I talk about the crucial distinction between values and beliefs and use real-world scenarios where lack of clarity leads to confusion and inconsistency. Together, we'll explore how to translate values into actionable behaviors that serve as anchors and navigational compasses for individuals and teams alike. Last but not least, we examine why organizations benefit from having a values hierarchy. What You'll Learn:• How to transform organizational values into actionable strategies.• The impact of core values on effective decision-making.• Ways to enhance integrity within the organization.• Strategies to improve team cohesion through shared values.• The power of a values hierarchy.Podcast Timestamps:(00:00) The Power of Organizational Values(12:37) Prioritizing Organizational Values for Clarity(19:30) Maximizing Values Alignment: The Role of IntentionKey Topics Discussed:Organizational Values, Translating Values Into Action Garry Ridge, WD-40 Company, Prioritizing Values, Maximizing Clarity, Ensuring Alignment, Values-Based Decision-Making, Increasing Trust, Creating A Culture of Integrity, Building Cohesion, Doing the Right Thing, Fostering Empowerment, Positive Team Dynamics, CEO SuccessMore of Do Good to Lead Well:Website: https://craigdowden.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/craigdowden/
