Nils Cornelissen in WirtschaftsWoche: "Employees need bosses who support them – not ones who solve their problems"
In the current WiWo column on the debate around SAP CEO Christian Klein's call for salary transparency, Nils Cornelissen weighs in. His conclusion from 25 years of coaching experience: as soon as employees start focusing on salaries and comparisons, what actually matters – meaning and real impact in their own work – fades into the background. Rather than relying on pay transparency, what leaders need above all is openness and clarity, along with the courage to address criticism directly instead of slipping into a purely caretaking stance.
