With Courage and Confidence into the Future: How We Can Move Germany Forward
We live in fast-paced, uncertain—and at times irrational—times. Two consecutive years of recession, bleak growth prospects, and global political tensions are making bold decisions and entrepreneurial action increasingly difficult.
Studies show: Positive emotions such as optimism and confidence are key drivers of business success, enhancing productivity, resilience, and results.
Confidence has become a leadership responsibility.
For us as an economy, it is essential that leaders move forward with courage and confidence, tackle pressing challenges—and unleash the energy of their teams needed to transform today’s downward spiral into an upward one.
'A New Perspective' is our platform for leaders and forward thinkers who want to actively shape the future. For those who don’t remain stuck in crisis mode, but work together to find solutions for today’s challenges.
We look forward to three unique perspectives on the topic:
Alina Vennekötter
Psychologist und Lead People & Organisation Development, DAYONE
Michael Eichelberger
Futures Architect und Head of Innovation & Business Models, Kaufland Deutschland
Prof. Dr. Alexander Kritikos
Board Member at DIW Berlin & Head of the Research Group Entrepreneurship
Alina explains the psychological impact of crises, why confidence is a core leadership task, and how it can be consciously cultivated.
Michael demonstrates how Kaufland uses strategic foresight to derive valuable insights, turn them into innovative business models, and drive implementation through bold decision-making.
Alexander presents a recent international DIW study showing how regulation affects the innovative strength of industries. He explains why the key to economic dynamism lies not in deregulation alone, but in a new perspective on smart regulation.
