english version belowChronische Erkrankungen sind im Arbeitsleben keine Ausnahme — sie sind Realität. Und doch werden sie in Teams oft übersehen, tabuisiert oder totgeschwiegen.Viele Führungskräfte möchten empathisch reagieren, sind aber unsicher: Was darf ich fragen? Was ist zu persönlich? Wann unterstütze ich — und wann überschreite ich eine Grenze?In dieser Episode sprechen wir mit Sasha Cook, Assistenzprofessorin an der Universität Amsterdam, darüber, inwiefern chronische Erkrankungen im Arbeitsalltag die verfügbaren Ressourcen beeinflussen, wieso die Auswirkungen dennoch oft unterschätzt werden und weshalb Kommunikation und echtes Zuhören entscheidend sind.Eine Folge über Führung, Fürsorge und die Frage, wie wir Arbeit so gestalten können, dass Gesundheit kein Tabuthema bleibt.Chronic health conditions are not the exception in working life — they are part of reality. And yet, in many teams they are often overlooked, treated as taboo, or simply not talked about.Many leaders want to respond with empathy, but feel uncertain: What am I allowed to ask? What is too personal? When am I being supportive — and when am I crossing a line?In this episode, we talk with Sasha Cook, Assistant Professor at the University of Amsterdam, about how chronic conditions shape the resources people have available in everyday work, why their impact is still often underestimated, and why communication and truly listening matter so much.An episode about leadership, care, and the question of how we can design work in a way that health no longer has to remain a taboo topic.⁠⁠⁠⁠BlackBox/Open im Web⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠BlackBox/Open bei LinkedIn⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠BlackBox/Open bei Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠
