Antifragile - and how it can boost your career The concept of "Antifragile" was introduced by Nassim Nicholas Taleb in his book "Antifragile: Things That Gain from Disorder." Let's explore how you can apply these principles to thrive in the face of current and future challenges. Taleb defines "antifragility" as the property of systems that improve and grow stronger when exposed to stress, volatility, and chaos. Unlike fragile entities that break under pressure or robust ones that merely withstand it, antifragile systems thrive and evolve through adversity. Think of it as the difference between a delicate glass that shatters when dropped, a rubber ball that stays intact, and a muscle that gets stronger the more you use it. Embracing Antifragility in Your Career 1. Seek Challenges: Instead of avoiding difficulties, actively seek them out. Challenging projects, new responsibilities, or learning opportunities outside your comfort zone will push you to grow. Just as muscles become stronger through resistance, your skills and resilience will develop through challenges. In this context, don’t see failure as the enemy but as your best friend. Always ask yourself: What is the worst that can happen - in most cases, it is “I will learn something valuable.” 2. Experiment and Iterate: Adopt a mindset of continuous experimentation. Don’t be afraid to try new approaches, fail, and learn from those failures. Each iteration brings you closer to better solutions and deeper understanding. This iterative process is at the heart of innovation and personal growth. 3. Diversify Your Skills: Build a diverse skill set to make yourself more adaptable and resilient to changes in the job market. Having multiple competencies allows you to pivot when necessary and take advantage of new opportunities that arise from disruptions. Applying Antifragility to Personal Development 1. Cultivate Resilience: Work on developing mental and emotional resilience. Practices like mindfulness, meditation, and regular physical exercise can help build a robust mental framework that not only withstands but also grows from personal setbacks. 2. Embrace Uncertainty: Life is unpredictable, and embracing this uncertainty can lead to personal growth. Rather than seeking to control every aspect of your life, learn to navigate and adapt to changes fluidly. This will make you more flexible and open to unexpected opportunities. 3. Build a Support Network: Surround yourself with a network of supportive, diverse individuals. A strong network can provide different perspectives, emotional support, and collaborative opportunities that help you thrive through ups and downs. Reflecting on the Antifragile Mindset Incorporating the antifragile mindset into your career and personal life isn’t just about surviving challenges—it’s about leveraging them to become stronger and more capable. As you navigate your journey, remember that every obstacle is an opportunity in disguise.

Was hat Neue Organisation mit Fußball zu tun? Eine Menge! Die Geschichte ist: 2006 war ich Mental-Coach für den Bundesliga-Verein FC Schalke 04 und persönlicher Coach eines Nationalspielers. Beide Trainer, Ralf Rangnick und Jürgen Klinsmann, interessierten sich sehr für die psychologischen Aspekte des Leistungssports. Da hatten ich und zwei weitere Coachkollegen einiges beizutragen. Umgekehrt hatten meine Erfahrungen im Hochleistungssport später großen Einfluss auf unser Organisationsmodell und das Business-Teamcoaching. Denn eines unterschied die Arbeit von Rangnick und Klinsmann vom Business-Coaching extrem: Sie trainierten eine Mannschaft und entwickelten neben individuellen Fähigkeiten auch die Kompetenzen der Mannschaft als Team. Im Fußball nennt man das „Taktische Kompetenzen“: ⚽️ Formationen und Positionierungen: Verständnis und Anwendung verschiedener Spielsysteme. ⚽️ Offensive und defensive Strategien: Entwicklung von Angriffsmustern und Verteidigungsmechanismen. ⚽️ Umschaltspiel: Schnelles Wechseln zwischen Angriff und Verteidigung. ⚽️ Pressing und Gegenpressing ⚽️ Spieleröffnung Wie wichtig diese Kompetenzen sind, können wir derzeit bei der EM beobachten. Sowohl Ralf Rangnick, der jetzt die österreichische Nationalmannschaft trainiert, als auch Julian Nagelsmann haben anscheinend gute Arbeit geleistet. Jetzt aber zum Bereich Business und Organisation. Was hatten wir bisher Vergleichbares? Fehlanzeige! Angeregt vom Fußball haben wir vor ein paar Jahren überlegt, auf welche Teamkompetenzen es in Organisationen ankommt. Herausgekommen sind sieben essenzielle #Teamkompetenzen: 👉 Leadership (Führung): Leadership-Aufgaben initiieren, verteilen und ausführen, basierend auf den Ressourcen, Fähigkeiten und Interessen der Teammitglieder. 👉 Entscheidungs- und Lösungsfindung: als Team fundierte Entscheidungen treffen und Probleme effektiv lösen. 👉 Kommunikation und Feedback: effektive Kommunikation und konstruktives Feedback 👉 Kollaboration: effektive Zusammenarbeit innerhalb und zwischen Teams 👉 Konflikt- und Spannungsklärung: mit Konflikten und Spannungen im Team auf konstruktive Weise umgehen. 👉 Selbstführung: sich selbst organisieren und eigenverantwortlich handeln. 👉 Meeting-Gestaltung: effektive Planung und Durchführung von Meetings Für das Business-Coaching sind diese Kompetenzen eine absolute Neuerung. Wir arbeiten damit seit einigen Jahren sehr erfolgreich und können ein Team in relativ kurzer Zeit auf ein völlig neues Leistungsniveau bringen – so wie es gute Fußball-Coaches halt auch können. Wenn wir das für eure Teams machen sollen oder du als Coach lernen möchtest, wie es geht, melde dich gerne in den Kommentaren oder sende mir eine DM. Alles Gute für eure Teams und sind wir weiter gespannt, welche Mannschaften sich in der EM erfolgreich durchsetzen werden. #livingorganisation #fussball #team #teamkompetenzen #europameisterschaft
