Insolvencies are on the rise, markets are changing, there is talk of transformation and a new mindset everywhere. In the latest episode of Men in Crisis, I talk about why change doesn’t happen by email and why real leadership in times of crisis starts with the CEO himself.
It’s about men who are technically strong but can’t hold a room. Who immediately provide solutions instead of listening. Who react because they are internally triggered and don’t realize it.
But “holding the space” means staying present when there is uncertainty in the room. No quick assessments, no actionism, but stability and clarity.
But that is precisely what is difficult if you are not clear inside. If you can’t stand your own emptiness and loneliness, you won’t create an environment in which others can open up. Transformation is therefore not an HR project or a strategy tool, it is personality work.
This episode is not an attack on managers, but an invitation to look within.
New episode Men in crisis: Why leadership in 2026 needs emotional maturity and why real change always starts at the top.
