- Imagine a world where the barriers between cultures blur, where agility and empathy become the cornerstones of leadership. In our rapidly evolving global landscape, driven by digital transformation and the continuous reshaping of societal norms, the leaders of tomorrow face challenges unlike any before. The key to navigating this complex world? A fusion of agile minds and global hearts.
This TEDx Talk is not just a talk; it's a call to action for current and aspiring leaders. It's an exploration into how the confluence of intercultural understanding and agility can forge leaders equipped to thrive amidst diversity and constant change.
We live in an era where artificial intelligence, digitalization, and sociopolitical shifts are not just buzzwords but realities shaping our everyday lives. In this context, leadership demands more than traditional skills. It requires an ability to adapt swiftly, to understand deeply the cultural nuances that influence human interactions, and to lead with compassion and insight.
This talk will unravel the essence of agile and intercultural mindsets, illustrating how they are indispensable for those aiming to lead effectively in the 21st century.
Join us as we embark on a journey to discover how embracing agility and fostering intercultural connections can transform challenges into opportunities, fostering a better together in an interconnected world. Whether you're a young professional, a seasoned leader, or somewhere in between, this conversation is for you. It's time to lead with agility and intercultural insight, building bridges in an era that demands nothing less. Yusuf Altınışık, born in 1992, is a man of many names and roles. Starting off as an „educational nomad,“ he embarked on a remarkable journey from his hometown of Dachau through Würzburg and Schweinfurt to Portugal. There, he completed his Bachelor’s degree in English and German Studies before eventually returning to his hometown of Munich to earn his Master’s in Cultural & Cognitive Linguistics. Alongside, he studied Intercultural Communication and adopted the nickname „Mr. Mutabor,“ Latin for someone who is ready to say, „I will change/transform“ - a reference to his continuous personal and professional metamorphosis.
During his interdisciplinary studies, Yusuf worked as a freelance lecturer, trainer, and coach, specializing in potential development as well as intercultural and democratic communication. As an „Interculturalist,“ as he likes to call himself, he focused his Master’s thesis on his passion - coaching for more effective language instruction for teachers. After becoming certified as an intercultural trainer, he offers intercultural training for schools and teachers.
Yusuf’s career initially led him to a start-up, where he worked as a trainer and coach for hybrid collaboration. This was his first encounter with agile work, in which he thrived, ultimately leading to his role as a Change Management Consultant, a position he held until January 2023.
Today, Yusuf works as a Scrum Master in an IT service company, further embracing the title of „Agilist.“ He continues his commitment to training and coaching in agile collaboration, intercultural communication, and potential development, seeing himself as a „bridge builder,“ his fifth and most fitting nickname. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
