"Why is Olaf Scholz having such a hard time leading in uncertain times? Do we all need more courage, more self-confidence in Germany?" And: Can a compulsory social year help to achieve this? CDU General Secretary Carsten Linnemann puts these questions at the center of his current podcast. Guests in the 20th episode: Arne Friedrich, former professional footballer and national player, sports director at Hertha BSC, with his own children's foundation. And Tijen Onaran, entrepreneur, investor, bestselling author, reading ambassador. For Arne Friedrich, leadership in everyday life is a task for each and every one of us: "We all have the responsibility to lead," he says. Whether in sport, in the family or in politics. You can have role models, he says. But the important thing when leading is not to imitate others, but to keep an eye on others. A different culture of error is also needed than the one practiced in the traffic light coalition for three years, says Tijen Onaran: "The failure of this traffic light coalition is related to the Chancellor's weak leadership. For me, a courageous leadership style is a style of clarity: an honest 'no' is better than a dishonest 'if'." And how can a social year contribute to more togetherness, courage and leadership? Onaran sees opportunities in this: We need to regain cohesion in society, she says. "Away from speechlessness, towards a really big impact. Towards courage, to do, to move forward. And then we will be a strong country again.” More from the CDU Democracy supporters: https://www.cdu-deutschlands.de/spenden Friedrich Merz: https://www.merz.cdu.de/ Become a member now: https://www.cdu-deutschlands.de/mitgl...
