In this episode of Digital.Decoded, Mario Pufahl and André Kiehne don’t hold back:

Is the younger generation really unwilling to work – or just fed up with pointless processes?

• What does purpose actually mean today?

• And what role does leadership play in a hybrid, digital workplace?

They discuss:

• Why meaning at work is no longer a luxury – but a necessity

• How outdated tech can kill motivation

• Why modern leadership is about trust, clarity – and fewer meetings

• And why choosing “more free time over more income” isn’t laziness

An honest conversation about expectations, challenges, and the new rules of work.
