How can teams be productive and successful? In an ever more complex world, work is changing fundamentally. Hierarchies dissolve under the impact of digitalization, teams need to co-operate globally. What do leaders need to do? What changes for the individual workers?
Johann Butting sees three major guidelines to pave the way into the future of work. And he can draw on his extensive experience: Johann started his career at Bertelsmann. He went on to well-known tech firms like Google and Dropbox, and is currently EMEA head of Slack.
Johann Butting is Head of EMEA at Slack, a Workplace Collaboration Hub, and has worked in the technology sector in the US and Europe for almost 20 years. Being an engineer at heart, he is interested in finding solutions to the challenges the world faces today.
He believes that, in the era of digital transformation, we as a society and a global economy, have to switch from an “individual first” to a “team first” mentality. This is not to say that we should lose our individuality. But if we focus on sharing and collaboration, if we define team spirit and meaningful interactions as the new, legit and most important measurements of success, this new mindset will have a deep and lasting positive effect on our economy and society. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at [ Ссылка ]
