Work as we know it is collapsing. AI disrupts every role. Crises hit harder and faster. Employees disengage and organizations crumble. Leaders who ignore this reality risk becoming obsolete—losing trust, talent, and their future place in the market.

There is a way forward. Starting October 3, 2025, Human Kapital Weeks presents a four-episode podcast mini-series: Idées Libres: When Economics Inspires Work. Drawing from Hayek, Schumpeter, and Menger, these episodes unlock survival strategies hidden in timeless economics, built for modern HR challenges:

  • Reignite employee motivation and loyalty
  • Harness autonomy instead of micromanagement
  • Transform chaos into sustainable innovation
  • Lead disruption before it destroys you

Practical, urgent, and packed with real-world cases—these insights can mean the difference between decline and leadership.

This series is for the bold. For managers, HR leaders, and consultants who refuse to surrender to uncertainty, and who want to rise as trusted leaders in an age of disruption.
