“Like a thrombosis, he blocks every bit of flow!”
“The system is decisive.”

Harassment: The Silence is Over
Between hot air and cold repression, a story bubbles to the surface — one that remained unspoken for far too long. NAVI feels it: a question, an answer — and suddenly, the heat is no longer just physical. It’s moral.
“Who bites the hand that feeds?”
“I do — if it strikes me or others.”
What begins as a familiar visit to the sauna turns into a cleansing ritual of a very different kind. It’s about power, closeness, and responsibility. About the silence that protects — and destroys. And about the question that lingers when the steam finally clears: How much truth can we bear?
A transformative leadership story about the courage of our convictions, loyalty, and the quiet choice between fear and trust.

Captain POWER and Surfer NAVI: Austerity Measures – Now What?
In the glass tower of power, where decisions are often made behind closed doors, POWER stands at the edge of his comfort zone.

In the familiar waters of PERFORMA, everything runs according to plan — until currents, climate, and coastlines suddenly begin to change. Captain POWER loses his bearings. His ship, TEAM, drifts in the fog, the destination out of reach. Then NAVI appears, a mysterious surfer, pointing the way: „You can only reach PERFORMA by sailing across the Peninsula of TRUST.”
But the course leads through treacherous zones — past the deceptive islands of INEFFECTIVA and UNPRODUCTIVA, ruled by Prince VON FEAR, who promises stability while sowing dependence. Only those brave enough to trust their intuition and embrace true collaboration can navigate the cliffs unharmed.
A poetic seafaring fable about leadership, transformation, and trust — and why even the strongest ship will sink when fear is its cargo.
