Perspectives of collaboration: Upheaval or Time for Change?

The world of work is undergoing structural change, markets are becoming more complex, the pressure to innovate is increasing, digitization is unstoppable, and the human resources market is more demanding. This presents both challenges and opportunties. What does this mean for our attitude towards and our expectations and demands on leadership? People are increasingly driven by the desire for meaning and values, personal development and self-realisation. If healthy, happy employees gain satisfaction (or more self-importance or personal growth) in their jobs how do we deal with issues such as trust, respect and transparency in communication? Does the workplace have to adapt to the employee? How will the tasks for management potentially have to change? Does leading at eye level result in greater satisfaction for the employees?

How do we consider the interests of all parties involved?The following personalities examine these above raised questions:
