Values can be quite arbitrary. Our understanding of fairness and justice is influenced by whether we prioritize societal cohesion or the freedom of the individual. Whether we put a price on added value in the form of a tax or are astonished by the value of a company – financial criteria influence what we consider to be possible and worth striving for. Evaluations such as grades, likes and rankings compare us to others and challenge our sense of self-worth. Maja Göpel is a transformation expert and bestselling author. In her book, Werte. Ein Kompass für die Zukunft [“Values: A Compass for the Future”], with great curiosity and enthusiasm for human potential, she asks the following questions: Where do our values come from, which ones should we safeguard and which may be holding us back? In conversation with Friedemann Karig, she examines which values can help us courageously shape transformation and offer direction in turbulent times.
