The importance of performance and willingness to perform from the perspective of entrepreneurs: A financial expert analyzes.

According to a report by www.t-online.de, there seems to be a discussion in Germany about whether young people are lazy and whether Germans are no longer sufficiently willing to perform. According to an exclusive Civey survey for t-online, 83 percent of Germans consider themselves to be willing to perform at work. Nevertheless, many employers complain that people are less and less willing to perform at their best. Company leaders like Stefan Wolf from the employers' association Gesamtmetall are of the opinion that prosperity leads to negligence and reduces motivation.

CEO Markus Pflitsch of Terra Quantum and Gunnar Groebler, CEO of the Salzgitter steel group, emphasize the importance of passion and responsibility for long-term commitment to performance. Pflitsch argues that achievement knows no nationality and that the younger generation is not necessarily lazier or less willing to perform, but that a lack of role models and questionable incentives play a role. Groebler, on the other hand, emphasizes solidarity and commitment to something greater than one's own interest as part of the willingness to perform. Sigrid Nikutta, railway board member and head of DB-Cargo, emphasizes the need for strength, endurance and speed in order to remain efficient in times of change. She sees crises as opportunities for new things and emphasizes the importance of speed in new situations in order to increase performance.

This discussion about willingness and performance in Germany also raises economic and market considerations. If motivation actually weakens, this could lead to lower productivity and competitiveness in the national and global market. Companies may struggle to achieve their goals and drive innovation. This could also have a negative impact on economic growth and employment. It is therefore important to have a discussion about motivation and performance in society in order to understand and address possible effects on the market and the financial sector.
