Führung kompakt: Was tun, wenn Mitarbeitende sich überschätzen?

18 November 2025, with Joël Kaczmarek and Vanessa Laszlo

Summary

This episode is in German.

Vanessa Laszlo, a sparring partner for top executives, addresses what managers can do when an employee's self-image and actual performance diverge sharply. The Money Monday episode explains why positive self-marketing can become dangerous, and how close-quarters leadership, clear boundaries and minimal room for idealisation keep the balance. Laszlo also covers the communication strategies that defuse team conflict and argues for an optimal, rather than zero, level of illusion at work.
