\n

But Generation Y \u2013 those born after 1980 \u2013 only seem to care about their work-life balance and reaping the fruits of success even before they begin working. Only recently on the YouTube channel of the important German daily newspaper \u2013 the one with four white letters on a red background \u2013 Harald Gl\u00f6\u00f6ckler said that the young people who arrived at the job interview were already burned-out and could not keep up with his pace. It soon became clear that on the whole, society sees only in black and white, forgetting the shades of grey I would even go as far as to say that people almost only talk about black. A good reason to write about \u2018white\u2019 here. I have my doubts that it is only due to the attitude of Generation X or Z that the willingness of these people to perform is declining in one corporate environment or another. After all, the topic of motivation also pops up in connection with older employees when they are in supposedly secure positions \u2013 e.g. in the public sector \u2013 and are only counting the months until retirement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am sure that in truth we as a society would have to answer a completely different question \u2013 namely the question of the famous meaning \u2013 for each individual. Why?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After all, I promised to write about \u201cwhite\u201d here. So about motivated, enthusiastic and resilient young people. I know over 100 of them personally. Neura Robotics started as a small, dedicated team with just 20 people and grew to about 140 last year. And now, in the weeks leading up to our first major trade show appearance at Automatica \u2013 <\/em>everyone is giving 1,000 %. Everyone expects that from the founder and boss. But when I leave for home late at night in Metzingen, I\u2019m rarely the last one there. Whether in the offices or the production halls: everywhere, there\u2019s a full-on effort. In addition to a few \u201cveteran\u201d industry professionals, however, the Neura team consists primarily of representatives of precisely those \u201cunmotivated\u201d generations. And we don\u2019t have any problems attracting highly qualified people, while everywhere there is talk of a shortage of skilled workers. So what\u2019s different about Neura that generations X and<\/em> Y are also highly motivated and resilient with us?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Perhaps the reason is that at Neura we really do make<\/em> the future, instead of \u2013 as this politician\u2019s phrase describes it \u2013 just always shaping <\/em>it. At Neura, you can get stuck in and get involved. <\/em>Because we need doers<\/em> and must promote them if we want to change society. There are enough theoretical design proposals in Germany. This alone will not enable us to hold our own as a location in the world in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I think it is not the attitude of young people that is the \u201cproblem\u201d, but our opaque, theorized and over-regulated world into which this generation has grown. I belong to this generation, by the way. As an aside. We are often trapped in unnecessary rules and tasks \u2013 the origin and meaning of which \u2013 we have long forgotten. Maybe the special thing about Neura Robotics is that we reinvent the wheel every day and throw old laws overboard when they no longer make sense!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

WOULD WE AS A SOCIETY NEED TO ANSWER A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT QUESTION? Recently I have been seeing more and more talk shows in which entrepreneurs discuss the fact that “all the young people” – especially generation Z – born after 1995 are not resilient as those who came before them. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":7539,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_crdt_document":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[38,129,43,35,21],"tags":[183],"class_list":["post-7540","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-economy","category-news-2","category-social","category-thoughts","category-wirtschaft","tag-robotic-2"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nGeneration Z needs perspectives -
