In this episode, we focus on leadership.

Today, leadership is not only crucial for the relationship between employees and managers. Poor leadership affects the entire organization, especially when unhealthy leadership behavior leads to absenteeism and high costs.

At the same time, a strong leadership style can significantly improve a company’s attractiveness and positioning in the market.

And as we will discover in episode 18, leadership also plays an important role in organizations far beyond the direct dynamics of business life.

In this episode, I speak with Swiss entrepreneur Christoph Meier, founder and leader of Outvision.

Our conversation moves on two levels: from entrepreneur to entrepreneur, and through my interest in his experience of specializing in online assessments, with which he has achieved remarkable quality, standardization, and scalability in the market.

More recently, he has also entered the field of leadership development and shares insights into the project Diagnostic Leadership.

It is fascinating to hear how the metaphor of the sea influences his thinking and how clearly he explains what truly matters for top performance — combining playfulness and precision at the same time.

An episode full of valuable insights.

In this episode, we focus on online assessments.

Whether companies want to appoint leaders or employees to new roles and responsibilities, assessment remains one of the most effective tools for selection — and for many years it has increasingly taken place in digital formats.

The range of available methods is broad, and many providers now operate in the field of psychometric testing.

In this episode, we bring more clarity to this landscape and explain the different ways online assessments can be conducted, including their main advantages and limitations.

After listening, you will have a clearer understanding of which digital assessment approaches exist and what their respective strengths and weaknesses are.

Gabriele Trachsel has been a business partner from the very beginning — one of the first to embrace the topic of values and to work continuously with me and profilingvalues until today.

Building a business in Switzerland as a Berliner is not only impressive, but also a fascinating story.

She brings decades of corporate experience and later took the step into self-employment.

Her story is both inspiring and typical at the same time — because it often takes time to sharpen one’s own service offering until it becomes truly successful in the market.

Being able to train top executives is something she describes as a great honor.

This episode offers valuable insights and is definitely worth listening to.

In this episode, I share personal insights from 25 years of assessment experience and take listeners into the world of evaluating people for specific roles in professional life.

After more than 5,000 individual assessments, I offer practical insights into how assessments are conducted and highlight key aspects that matter in professional practice.

Using what I call the “double three-step approach,” I explain the interaction with clients from briefing to reporting and, of course, discuss the assessment interview itself, including the relevant preparation and follow-up.

Anyone interested in discovering the assessment process in an informative and accessible way will find this episode both insightful and engaging.

In episode twelve, I explain how the value-metric assessment tool profilingvalues can be successfully integrated into the modern recruitment process.

The episode focuses on the changed starting point in today’s hiring landscape as well as the approach behind this innovative method.

Scientific validation is an essential prerequisite for its professional use by target groups such as HR professionals, consultants, coaches, and trainers.

The episode is rounded off with an explanation of how the method works and with practical application examples.

In this episode, I take a historical perspective on the relationship between employers and employees.

How did the labor market function in the Middle Ages, during industrialization, and in economically turbulent periods?

The past decades have seen significant fluctuations — it has not always been an employer-driven market.

Today, however, the situation has changed dramatically, and employees are increasingly seen as holding the stronger position.

For companies, this means recognizing the current situation as an opportunity and positioning themselves strategically.

There are unexpected possibilities to stand out and gain a real competitive advantage.

Those who react too late risk being left behind — as Mikhail Gorbachev once said: Life punishes those who come too late.

Welcome to the tenth episode of our podcast.

In this episode, we dive into the world of ethics in business.

I discuss the foundations of ethics, morality, and moral conduct, and take a critical look at a survey that shows how leaders apply their moral convictions in everyday business life.

Learn why ethics is of crucial importance for organizations and how it helps to build trust and credibility.

Title: Responsibility as a Core Value

In this episode, I focus on the value of responsibility and connect it with my collaboration with Boris Grundl, during which I contributed to the development of the Responsibility Index.

Responsibility is a topic that can create both motivation and pressure.

I explore different dimensions of responsibility, with particular attention to leadership and self-leadership.

Ultimately, responsibility is both a value and an attitude that emerges from within a person and can also be consciously developed.

If we could strengthen responsibility in our society and across the world, it would become a significantly better place.

In the eighth episode of the podcast, we focus on a fundamental question: Are values the key to good leadership?

I explore how performance pressure affects employee satisfaction and discuss the crucial difference between managers and true leaders — those who keep the well-being of their people in mind, not only in times of crisis.

The episode also takes a critical look at today’s society and highlights the urgency of placing social values back at the center of leadership and working life.

In addition, I emphasize the transformative power of self-realization in the workplace and its importance for sustainable leadership.
