"Most people lack the North Star in their lives."

The 100th episode of SMP LeaderTalks deserves a guest who leaves an impression: Dieter Lange. A world-renowned top trainer and success coach. With razor-sharp analyses and precise examples, he hits the nerve of the times and relentlessly holds up a mirror to us. He says: "Most people have no goal in mind, neither for themselves nor for their company. And: Instead of real visions, generic slogans are formulated that don't touch anyone.

"Purpose is what holds the world together at its core."

Dieter Lange is a psychologist, coach and speaker - and has been accompanying managers in their search for fulfillment for decades. In conversation with Georgiy Michailov, he shows why purpose must come directly from the heart. Why self-leadership is the foundation of all true leadership. And how companies and people can regain access to their inner compass. His message is clear: success without purpose does not make you happy.

"Life is a game - but not one that you can win."

In this SMP LeaderTalk, Dieter Lange and Georgiy Michailov also talk about the path to happiness and the dangerous addiction to dopamine. They talk about burnout, the difference between ego and self and Lange reveals why you should never have too much money in your bank account.
