THE GIG ECONOMY IS INEVITABLE

The world is changing rapidly. We used to dedicate ourselves to one job for a long period of time, but now we seem to be more all over the place. Job hopping became common and never there were more freelancers around the wold than today.

The new generation has learned that we have talents than the job we are hired for demands from us. And we are not shy to offer these talents to our audience.

That is called the GIG-economy and it’s inevitable not to be part of it.

MEANINGFUL PROFIT

Meaningful profit is the theory of the essence of human development and how this relates to economics and business development. Meaningful profit is best described as the developmental theory that integrates two essential human drives: Meaning and Performance.

It is build around 3 pillars:

The psychology of meaning and performance
New insights from Maslows hierarchy of needs
The recognition of Human Nature in business

People have a natural need to live meaningful lives, we need to find, create and develop our meanings to fully live. On the other hand we need to function at our best. People do not just want to perform they want to perform at their best.

LEADERSHIP VERSUS MANAGEMENT

The word management comes from the French word "manege" meaning "taking by the hand". Do we really want to take our employees by the hand like we do with a horse? Or are we willing to learn the mastery of leadership and guide the people around us to the next destination?
