Lead: “Motivation can be destroyed amazingly effectively”

A new book by organisational researcher Hans Rusinek, "Reclaim Work", explores why many Germans are frustrated with their jobs. Rusinek argues that leadership plays a crucial role in motivating employees, and that a toxic work environment can lead to demotivation. He identifies "hope-killers" such as unsupportive leadership, an overemphasis on visibility over performance, and a lack of tolerance for criticism.

Rusinek suggests that individuals can take steps to stay motivated, and that leaders should create a positive work environment and encourage critical thinking.
