Der Maßstab.
Substance instead of hype. What holds up in daily practice — not what just sounds good.
Not another tool newsletter.
There are enough lists. Enough trend summaries. Enough AI buzz. What is missing: substance. The question of what actually works — and what was just loud.
Der Maßstab is the newsletter I would read myself. Focused on what actually holds up in the daily practice of trainers, coaches, leadership and development work.
What it is about — and what it is not.
AI that holds up in practice
Not the next tool. But the question of where AI actually relieves, structures, and changes work — and where it only impresses.
Learning, development, transfer
What makes a development architecture sustainable? Why does so much end in the seminar room? Where it is decided whether development holds.
Sales with substance
Leadership, conversation quality, effectiveness under real conditions. Beyond technology, trends, and standard slides.
Substance, not enumeration
No link dump, no "10 tools you need to know". Instead: What does this really mean — for your work.
Written for people who take responsibility for development themselves.
- —Trainers, coaches, learning architects, and L&D leaders
- —Leaders who carry development in daily practice
- —Sales people who want to develop, not just activate
- —Anyone who prefers substance over volume
Not suitable for people looking for tool lists, trend summaries, or weekly new frameworks.
I write what I would read myself. No more — but also no less.
