Campus Conversation #103 with Prof. Dr. Heike Bruch

Prof. Heike Bruch on organizational energy, leadership, and why many companies are caught between acceleration and exhaustion.
Campus Conversation #103 mit Prof. Dr. Heike Bruch: Die Energie hinter guter Führung

What sets apart organizations that remain high-performing despite pressure from those that end up burned out?

Heike Bruch, professor of leadership at the University of St.Gallen, measures something that at first glance seems almost intangible: organizational energy. She distinguishes between productive high-energy and pleasant calm energy on the one hand, and pitfalls such as acceleration, inertia, and corrosive energy on the other—and large-scale studies show that many companies are caught in the acceleration trap.

The discussion focuses on the causes behind this trend, the role of artificial intelligence, and the management skills needed in the future—ranging from emotional inspiration to digital leadership and healthy self-management.

An episode about the invisible force that determines whether organizations remain sustainably strong or slowly burn out.
