Today and tomorrow are unthinkable without trust and security
The EULEAD Summer School 2023 on the topic "Trust creates security" at Göttweig Abbey impressively underlines the great importance of an efficient management style with ethical-value-oriented thinking and acting. Especially now, in our superficial and fast-moving times, which are increasingly characterized by a lack of solidarity and a loss of values, people need togetherness and trust that is more helpful and up-to-date for our lives and the world of work than seldom before. New technological possibilities, changes in society, changes in the workplace, all these characteristics of our time create uneasiness and insecurity. At the same time, our need for support, orientation, stability and security is growing. The question of principles to build on is getting louder and louder. The longing for values that guide us through life is growing. It is all the more important to encourage people to keep those enduring values that a country, a society, and every individual need on the way to the future. Because a life without values is worthless in the truest sense of the word. Even and especially in today's world, which is characterized by superficiality and materialism, principles such as charity, family spirit, solidarity and respect for God and creation must not be forgotten because they are not buzzwords but timeless values.
With this in mind, I wish the EULEAD Summer School, which examines leadership and business in areas of tension and deals with finding the right balance, a good course and all participants important impulses, in-depth knowledge and valuable encounters. A heartfelt "Vergelt's Gott" to all who are taking part and to those who have worked together to make this event possible.
