How to achieve personal and social change!

Thomas Sattelberger’s central theme as a top manager, top politician and private individual has always remained the same:

How can people, companies, institutions and societies be empowered to fulfil their potential in the best possible way?

In his view, the central prerequisite for this is a culture of permanent change, the willingness to embrace radical renewal. And this is precisely what we lack today in a time that is characterised by radical change like no other in recent decades. If we continue as before, further decline is inevitable – politically, economically and socially. We can no longer afford personal mediocrity.

With a critical insider’s view of current developments in politics, society and business, Thomas Sattelberger shares his vast wealth of experience on the subject of transformation, including his own personal experience. And he sketches a positive picture of the future of an entrepreneurial innovation society that demands a lot of new things from all of us, especially from our leaders, and in doing so, is creating new creativity, freedom and prosperity.
