About the Film

In times of global economic and banking crises, management culture raises countless questions. The seemingly detached parallel world of countless bosses and the behavior of many managers – symbolized here by animated sequences – is food for thought. There is a dominant element on this visual level of reflection: the triangle as the so-called dark triad of Machiavellianism, narcissism and psychopathy. The analytical view of individuals in senior positions and of the system sheds light on the difference between managers and leaders as well as the character traits that a leader must have in the current system to ensure success. But what is, can, should be considered success?

The combined answers of the seven experts from the fields of psychology, management, sociology and management consultancy suggest that we are not only facing a crisis of economic growth, but also a crisis of values, ethics and morals.
