Are you an avoider of failure or a seeker of success? Those who fall into the latter group are distinguished by a ‘winner’ mentality: they embrace self-change and adapt rapidly to new circumstances such as globalisation, digitalisation, technological progression and climate change. This, in turn, is essential for their success, since these megatrends are set to radically and permanently transform our shared existence. In this new book, Kirchner shows how to master the changes and kick-start your own mental revolution.

As security, reliability and experience have become obsolete, the laws of success have changed. We are hindered and paralysed from all angles: by our once-effective strategies for tackling social and individual challenges and by the systems and patterns in which we are stuck. This book sets out the need for individual and collective action.

New ideas, structures and beliefs are also revolutionising the world of work. Value creation has taken the place of profit maximisation. The social and ecological benefits of goods – and their sustainable production – are becoming more important than short-term profit goals. Basic information can be googled by anyone; specialists are sought after to complete the picture. Tomorrow’s leaders are sense-makers and leaders who focus on people, not profit.

This book teaches you to transform your mental attitude in such a way that you are able to influence seemingly unchangeable circumstances. By doing so, you are empowered to rethink and successfully shape your future.
