How to become a better leader

Berlin According to the business psychologist Florian Becker, charismatic leadership has great potential for companies – although little attention is still being paid to it in this country. Studies on the topic of employee motivation have shown that it is more promising to motivate employees with persuasiveness and emotional values ​​than only with financial reward.

“The principle of money for performance no longer works,” says the business psychologist, who has been researching leadership, motivation and teamwork for two decades. “Especially the younger generations no longer see their purpose in life in money. They want to be motivated differently.”

In business today, according to Becker, the company that manages to connect its employees emotionally with the company and thus spark a willingness to work that works alongside the payment wins. Charismatic leadership helps with this.
