#264 mit Amy C. Edmondson, Harvard Business School: Novartis Professor of Leadership and Management, Author of “Teaming”

Our guest today is the Novartis Professor of Leadership and
Management at the Harvard Business School. The University website
describes her institute as … “a chair established to support the
study of human interactions that lead to the creation of successful
enterprises that contribute to the betterment of society.” She is
regularly mentioned in the media, for example she was ranked on
third place in 2019 by the biannual Thinkers50 global ranking of
management thinkers, a famous list where you can find her name in
every edition since 2011. Her most recent book, The Fearless
Organization: Creating Psychological Safety in the Workplace for
Learning, Innovation and Growth  has just been published in Germany
under the title "Die angstfreie Organisation - Wie Sie
psychologische Sicherheit am Arbeitsplatz für mehr Entwicklung,
Lernen und Innovation schaffen.” She has a calendar that will be
filled well into next year and we are incredibly grateful that she
gives us and our podcast listeners the honor of being the last
guest in our anniversary week. Since 4 years we are on our “way to
new work”. How can a topic that plays such an important part in our
everyday life create more meaning in our lives again? How do we get
people to draw strength and motivation from their daily work again?
How can one succeed in living a happy, healthy, productive and
fulfilling life even in such difficult times? And what role do
teams and leaders play in this? We are looking for methods, role
models, experiences, tools and ideas that bring us closer to the
core of New Work! We are always concerned with the question of
whether everyone can really find and live what they really, really
want in their innermost being. How can we make sure that each and
everyone of us will find their inner driving force. You are at “On
the Way to New Work” - today with Amy C. Edmondson.
