A former investment banker at Lehman Brothers, a major project manager in the automotive industry and an area manager at the "dm" drugstore chain. Their motivation: the desire for more enthusiasm, meaningfulness and authenticity in their work. Sensitively and without taboos, Hanna Henigin and Julian Wildgruber provide deep insights into the emotional world of the otherwise sealed-off world of business leaders and explore the question of the extent to which the crises of today's working world are crises of consciousness.
