    SE01E30 A Tapeçaria da Mudança: Confiança, Empatia e o Futuro da Liderança | Clemens Boecker

    Neste inspirador episódio do podcast Shift Happens, a host Kamila Adamatti recebe Clemens Boecker, CEO da Tapetes São Carlos, uma empresa com um legado profundo nas indústrias têxtil e automotiva do Brasil. Clemens lidera uma equipe dedicada à inovação, sustentabilidade e verticalização, mas seus segredos de liderança residem em sua abordagem radical à gestão de mudanças. Clemens compartilha sua jornada pessoal, começando com as origens alemãs de sua família e uma experiência transformadora em um internato suíço, onde aprendeu a profunda força da confiança e de pedir ajuda—uma lição que ele chama de ser "a criança pequena" que segura a mão da mãe. Essa humildade define sua estratégia corporativa, especialmente ao enfrentar as grandes transformações trazidas pela digitalização e pela IA. Descubra como Clemens navegou por duas crises econômicas severas (2014/2015 e a pandemia) sem demitir um único funcionário devido a cortes de custos. Ele detalha a Gamificação da Crise, transformando a temida tarefa de corte de custos em um desafio lúdico e empoderador onde nenhuma ideia é absurda, e a regra era: qualquer sugestão não deve envolver demissões. Este episódio é uma masterclass na construção de uma cultura de segurança psicológica, na utilização do Design Thinking (Empatia, Protótipo, Experiência) e em garantir que, mesmo com os avanços da IA, o calor humano e a empatia permaneçam o co-piloto dos negócios. 🔑 Principais Lições e Insights de Liderança:O Poder da Humildade: O mantra pessoal e corporativo de Clemens: Pedir ajuda é um sinal de força, não de fraqueza. Mentoria Reversa: Como um líder sênior procurou um funcionário júnior de 22 anos para ser seu coach em tópicos como ChatGPT e automação, fomentando um crescimento intergeracional incrível. Segurança Psicológica: Construir uma cultura onde é aceitável ser vulnerável, os erros são abraçados como oportunidades de aprendizado e o objetivo é errar rápido e corrigir imediatamente. Gamificação da Crise: A estratégia brilhante usada para evitar demissões em períodos de crise econômica severa, transformando o corte de custos em um jogo que incentivava a criatividade radical de todos os níveis. IA como Co-Piloto: Como a Tapetes São Carlos usa a Inteligência Artificial para automatizar tarefas manuais (como a geração de documentos), permitindo que os funcionários dediquem 30% do seu tempo a trabalhos estratégicos e criativos, colocando "mais alma no negócio." Design Thinking na Crise: A utilização da empatia e prototipagem para entender as preocupações dos funcionários e construir soluções de forma colaborativa durante a mudança difícil. O Futuro da Liderança: A habilidade mais crítica para o sucesso é a coragem de ter empatia—ver o mundo através dos olhos dos outros. Economia Circular: O compromisso da Tapetes São Carlos com a sustentabilidade, incluindo a criação da primeira fibra biodegradável na América Latina e o desenvolvimento de sistemas para aceitar tapetes de volta para reciclagem. ENGLISH:In this inspiring episode of the Shift Happens podcast, host Kamila Adamatti welcomes Clemens Boecker, CEO of Tapetes São Carlos, a company with a profound legacy in Brazil's textile and automotive industries. Clemens leads a team dedicated to innovation, sustainability, and verticalization, but his leadership secrets lie in his radical approach to change management. Clemens shares his personal journey, beginning with his family's German origins and a transformative experience at a Swiss boarding school where he learned the profound strength of trust and asking for help—a lesson he calls "being the little child" who holds the mother's hand. This humility defines his corporate strategy, especially when facing the massive shifts brought by digitalization and AI. 🔗 Connect with Tapetes São Carlos:Company Website: https://www.google.com/search?q=tonabusiness.com (Sponsor mention) We hope you enjoyed this episode of the Shift Happens Podcast.  Like, comment, and subscribe to never miss an episode!  Connect with Kamila Adamatti on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kamila-adamatti/Visit the Shift Happens website here: https://shifthappensthepodcast.com/ Listen to Shift Happens on these podcast platforms: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3FLkuYKoB8ultitr23MPj2Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/shift-happens-podcast/id1814603417Amazon Podcasts: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/fa0cf758-f9fb-4cda-9ed8-55e04ec6b51f #podcast #shifthappens #leadingchange #decisionmakers #foroyu #newepisode #shifthappens #leadershippodcast #changemanagement #businessleadership #selfimprovement #strategicthinking #decisionmaking #bilingualpodcast #growthmindset #executivecoaching #communicationiskey #leadingchange #resilientleadership #transformationjourney #professionaldevelopment
