Nicole Brandes: High Potential – High Performance in the Digital Age
What constitutes good work? This question has divided philosophers for centuries. There are the ‘instrumental’ and “expressive” theories of work: work is a ‘means to an end’ to secure one’s existence. Or: work is a ‘means to self-realisation’. The fact is: work is an important part of a successful life. It shapes identity and conveys self-esteem. It brings us together with other people and strengthens social cohesion. It creates challenges that trigger learning processes. It challenges and promotes our creativity and expertise. It brings us recognition and respect.
In her lectures, Nicole Brandes talks about the challenges that managers have to overcome in an increasingly complex environment – and how they can succeed in doing so with human skills, meaningful identity and identity-forming purpose. Nicole Brandes advocates for meaning- and value-centred leadership because, especially in the age of digitalisation and AI, the longing for belonging, empathy and the ‘why’ is growing ever stronger.
