Sind die "hippen" Arbeitgeber des digitalen Zeitalters à la Jobs, Samwer wirklich besser als ihre Vorgänger in Nadelstreifen? Oder doch nur neue Ausbeuter, unfähige Nieten in legerer Gestalt, die Unsummen von Geld vernichten, ganze Belegschaften frustrieren und einen irreversiblen wirtschaftlichen Schaden verursachen? In seinem Buch zeigt Axel Nauert, wie das Ende der Krawatte in der Chefetage eine neue Ära einer Dark Leadership einläutete. Er schreibt über die Narzissten in Sneakers, die durch ihre Unfähigkeit, Ignoranz und Selbstüberschätzung ganze Unternehmen gegen die Wand fahren und ihre Mitarbeiter in den Abgrund der Hipster-Hölle reissen, von Missständen auf der Managementebene und den vermeintlich visionären Wirtschaftslenkern, die jedes Mass verloren zu haben scheinen. Der Autor warnt vor den fatalen Folgen und fordert dringend ein Umdenken in den Chefetagen - zum Wohle der Unternehmen.
