Du redest von Leadership – aber führst wie ein Taschenrechner.

Stell dir vor, jemand bittet dich um ein Gespräch. Nicht, weil er kündigen will, sondern weil er bleiben möchte – aber nicht so. Er hat Ideen, Frust, Sehnsucht und Energie, aber er zweifelt, ob du sie hören willst. Nicht weil du schreist. Sondern weil du nicht zuhörst.

Rethinking: You talk leadership. But you lead like a calculator.

Picture this: someone asks you for a talk. Not because they want to quit, but because they want to stay – just not like this.

Rethinking: You’re not leading – you’re repeating.

You believe you’re leading because you make decisions. Because you hold meetings, set targets, supervise teams, present visions in slides.
But let’s be brutally honest:
