“As a prospective NPO manager, I voluntarily chose the course “Learning from history and philosophy for management” as part of the Studium Generale at my university. It is important for me to be confronted with management techniques and prepared for management tasks in addition to my business-oriented lectures in the third sector. I am glad and grateful that I took part in Dr. Pieper's course. After several “excursions” and episodes in modern times and antiquity, I can better assess the demands on a manager. The historical reference helped me to break down my departmental thinking and sharpen my view of the reality of the professional world. It was pleasant that gaps in my knowledge about historical events were not reprimanded, but rather vividly “wrapped up” in myths and legends. The reflections on timeless leadership strategies, approaches and solutions were particularly helpful to me personally. I would like to thank Prof. Pieper for letting me participate in his “success story” and wish him continued success!
