Führungskräfte: „Gutsituierte haben genauso Angst wie Menschen an der Armutsgrenze“

Tübingen – In her latest book, Notärztin Lisa Federle aimed to explain the various facets of fear through numerous real-life examples from her practice, but in the end, she had also composed a contemporary diagnosis of society. What the book reveals is not just about Federle, but about this country as well. Federle, in a sense, is a kind of emergency physician with an expanded scope of practice.

She demonstrated a way out of the isolation policy during the Corona pandemic, later authored a widely-read book on bureaucracy that shapes this nation, and now grapples with fear herself. A feeling that is still rarely discussed in boardrooms but frequently makes an appearance there. Federle describes it as a sort of self-protection, though one with far-reaching destructive consequences if left unchecked.

Unless addressed, fear will keep the nation ensnared in its rigidity, and Federle has several ideas on how to combat fear policy.
