Last week, my dear colleagues Susanne Adler and Marija Dejanova, posed an intriguing question: “Rolf, with #WorldBookDay approaching, have you considered sharing which book has left a deep impression on your life and nurtured your #Growthmindset?” Reflecting on their question, I realized that not just one, but at least three books have influenced my mindset and are absolutely worth sharing: Ian Kershaw – "To Hell and Back", a Christmas gift from my daughter, gripped me from the moment I opened it— it details the origins of the First World War, the horrific unfolding of events, and the suffering it inflicted across Western and Eastern Europe. It explores how the war's end, coupled with the Russian Communist Revolution and damaged German national pride, paved the way for the rise of the Nazis and even more catastrophic Second World War. What relation does this have to a "growth mindset"? None whatsoever. Instead, it showcases the dangers of a "closed mindset" - dogmatism, pettiness, egoism, fear, and a refusal to compromise. It serves as a poignant reminder and a call to action for anyone following today’s headlines. Walter Isaacson – “Steve Jobs”, more than just a biography, this book serves as a bible of management do's and don'ts as seen through the life of Steve Jobs. It reveals Jobs' flaws and missteps while illuminating how he emerged as one of the most, if not the most, successful leaders in business history. His leadership, often seen as embodying a "growth mindset," truly reflects a visionary's foresight, anticipating and even inventing future consumer needs. Even though I read the book more than eight years ago, I vividly remember each chapter, including his "reality distortion" attitude. Kazuo Ishiguro – “Klara and the Sun”: Currently on my bedside table, this novel begins with a slow burn but quickly builds into a compelling narrative. Told through the eyes of Klara, an Artificial Friend, designed to accompany children, the story explores her life with a terminally ill child whom she is meant to eventually replace. This narrative delves into the potential futures of AI and imagines how machines might one day embody a "growth mindset." Together, these three books offer a profound exploration of human history, the complexities of our nature, and the brilliance of our innovations. They paint a picture of a future where humanity may coexist with machines—not just as forms of AI, but as integral, artificial companions in our daily lives. Let me turn the question back to Susanne Adler, Marija Dejanova & other colleagues: Which book has left an indelible mark on your growth journey? Don't forget, we're also running a World Book Day challenge for all Deutsche Telekom Global Carrier and International Network & Service Unit employees, with a chance to win a special book bundle tailored to cultivate a growth mindset!

🔆 Last Wednesday, my team and I gathered in Berlin for an offsite, and the slogan on the wall in the hotel lobby fits perfectly with our team journey: living, belonging, and growing. ➡ LIVE: It is essential to live in the present and treat each other with respect and on an equal level. As we are all human individuals with our own challenges, as well as good and bad times being part of our lives. On Wednesday, we forgot all our challenges and had a great day full of activities in Berlin. ➡ BELONG: Belonging in a team is vital for fostering unity and collaboration. It creates a supportive environment where members feel valued, understood, and empowered to contribute their best. This happens best when meeting physically and sharing positive experiences together. ➡ GROW: This team is full of knowledge, experience, and potential. How to grow it further? The best way to do it is to create trust among each other and foster a "can-do mentality," where we support and help each other to grow. As we departed Berlin, we carried with us a stronger bond and trust that we will face all challenges ahead of us as one strong sourcing team! #PeopleMakeItHappen, #GSUS

I've had the pleasure of knowing Felix for over 10 years, collaborating as both partners and team members. This year, he embarked on a new venture by starting his own AI consulting company. Now, he's launching his first newsletter! Given Felix's expertise and dedication, I'm confident this newsletter will be both precise and informative and highly recommend signing up for it. #AI #Consulting #Newsletter

#WeAreDevelopers #WWC24 – Part 2   The Power of Purpose: Unlocking Potential and Innovation our panel talk with Sue, Hadi, Steffen and me. What is the potential, “purpose” can unlock in a workforce/for a company? Interesting that at the current survey of Kienbaum showed that 60% of employees don´t know the company’s purpose and our quick check in the audience showed only 50%. Especially in the increasing complexity around us the purpose give orientation and helps to do the right things. The second dimension of purpose is your purpose in life. Unfortunately, this is even lower. Just 1% in the audience has a purpose of life. If you don´t know your purpose you are living the purpose of someone else. This is o.k. if it feels right to you, but you should take some time to find it and check if this is in line with your company´s purpose. Your full potential can flow if this is the case. Let´s find your purpose of life now!   It´s might be good to listen in our first podcast about “purpose” and how this trend will stay. We had Dominic in our session. https://lnkd.in/e23sqmdB   Again, I am glad to be part of the #WWC24. Many thanks to Sead, Rudi, Thomas and Lena.   #WeAreDevelopers #WWC24 #weilmachenkrasserist #DigitalPacemaker #IT4good

🏅🇩🇪 The German national team in Football is a remarkable example of successful integration these days. Recently, my children asked me: “Why is it always such a big deal what skin color and nationality the players have? Aren’t they all German if they play for the national team?” This question made me reflect. Our national team consists of talented players from diverse backgrounds, and they represent our country at the highest level together. It’s time we see the diversity that enriches our society as something natural and focus on what unites us instead of what sets us apart. Let’s be proud of our team – a team that stands for unity, diversity, and mutual respect. In the end, only one thing matters: the joint effort for success and the joy of the game. This message resonates beyond just football and beyond just Germany. Whether it’s the French rugby team, the American basketball team, or the Brazilian volleyball team – sports teams around the world embody the strength of diversity. They show us that regardless of our differences, we can come together to achieve great things. #Integration #Diversity #NationalTeam #Unity #Respect #teamsports

"Going to Gemba” ("Gehe an den Ort des Geschehens") is one of the most relevant principles for relentless improvement. For me it is also became essential part of my work routines - especially back again after the pandemic. Only if we meet and connect with real people, with real discussions and in real offices, we can get the full picture. With "Magenta Office" a new possibility to work abroad in the EU is available in DT since 2023. And this year, I decided to combine a wonderful trip to Valencia with working in the Offices of VTI abroad (DT IT Spain, powered by T-Systems). A special THANK YOU to my colleagues Sergei Holmeckis and Kirill Chernin who opened some doors and connected me to people on-site! Some thoughts I'd like to share, also on our way to New Work and Magenta Offices: - 💓Magenta “has many colors”, but you can always feel when you are entering a “Magenta Office” – equipment works, easy to connect on topics, openness of colleagues, cross-functional mindset ...  - 🌍A shift of location brings a perspective - new ideas, new inspiration and energy to go on - 🦸🏻‍♀️Local roles, people who take care on-site, are needed! These colleagues act cross-functional, have their ears an eyes on the pulse, have the best interest of employees at heart. But we need to LISTEN what is needed locally! - 📝Some creativity and small ideas make a difference – be it individual naming for conference rooms, small meeting areas, local communities – and these ideas do not necessarily cost a lot of money!  - „👋Connecting People“ is important – especially in times of transformation and Change #NewWork #NewWorkatVTI #transformationstartswithme #BestTeamintheIndustry Jan Meyer

I don't trust AI – that's what almost 70% of people in Germany think. The #AI answer engine Perplexity could change that. We are now running a campaign with Perplexity as part of Magenta Moments – the benefits programme for our customers.   "Moby-Dick is about the friendship between a man and a dolphin." While this statement is clearly untrue, it is an example of the potential risks of 'hallucination'. The phenomenon that describes how #GenAI sometimes tends to present invented facts as truth. A false statement about this novel might be a convincing answer for people who have never heard of the book. Perplexity addresses this problem. How does it do this? 🐋   1. Source citations: Perplexity always includes original web links in its results. So you can check everything yourself. And make sure the sources are trustworthy.   2. Conversational search: If you are not convinced, you can challenge the bot to find better sources. Perplexity lets you chat with the results. This is made possible by the inclusion of state-of-the-art large language models such as GPT-4 or Claude.   3. Personalisation: By remembering your searches, Perplexity becomes more familiar with what you are looking for. While still giving you a broader perspective. Including photos or videos.   This concept has been very successful. Within a year, Perplexity had two million monthly active users! Today, Perplexity's approach has resonated with users around the world. 10 million people rely on its conversational search capabilities. And many of our long-term customers could be among them – because Deutsche Telekom is partnering with the AI start-up to bring a one-year premium subscription of this AI to Magenta Moments. And with it: AI-powered information interpretation based on current and relevant material. I am convinced: Perplexity is a powerful response engine. Have you tried it?   🙏 Thank you for this great partnership: Aravind Srinivas Ryan Foutty Tim Höttges Jonathan Abrahamson Christin Zörner Ann-Katrin Reuter David Schroeder Johannes Deubener Rickard Damm Thomas Weiler Jose Perdomo Lorenzo Arnab Goswami Kanwardeep Singh Ahluwalia (K.D) Jan Hofmann Alexander Helmke Kristina Wunderer Marco Benninghaus York Lohse, Joshua Müller

𝐄𝐯𝐞𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐚𝐥𝐰𝐚𝐲𝐬 𝐛𝐞𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝. As I am watching now the 𝐔𝐄𝐅𝐀 𝐂𝐋 𝐅𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐥, I just got reminded of how Toni Kroos has been perceived at Bayern München in 2014... Even though Toni Kroos dominated on his position already back then, former Bayern Munich CEO Karl-Heinz Rummenigge told Kroos: "𝐖𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐧'𝐭 𝐩𝐚𝐲 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐧 €10 𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐚 𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫 𝐛𝐞𝐜𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮'𝐫𝐞 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐚 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝-𝐜𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐬 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐲𝐞𝐫." So Kroos did the only right thing and left the club joining Real Madrid, becoming an even better player and probably the world best one on his position - the rest is history. Now, 10 years later, world champion Kroos won so far 33 titles and has the chance to win tonight the Champions League for the 6th time, which would mean an all time record! A great example and reminder: ➡ 𝐎𝐮𝐫 𝐯𝐚𝐥𝐮𝐞 𝐝𝐨𝐞𝐬𝐧'𝐭 𝐝𝐞𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐞 𝐛𝐚𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐨𝐧 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐨𝐧𝐞'𝐬 𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐞𝐞 𝐢𝐭.
