The ability to work in a team must always be optimised From Steampunk Economists to Adaptive Leaders. The mindset that steampunk economists have so deeply internalised must give way to an adaptive, responsive, and enabling human-centred way of thinking. To really overcome steampunk economics, a new habitus, a new way of thinking about organisations and leadership must develop. People who talk about faster-than-sound flying machines would be crackpots because one simply could not imagine an alternative to the current status quo. Then jet engines might never have been invented and civil aviation would be in airships. Maybe then we would have huge, kilometre-long cannons all over the world with which to either shoot projectiles into orbit or even a projectile at another country. But let’s imagine for a moment that this 19th century idea had actually been advanced. Of course, no one at NASA considered building a cannon to shoot people to the moon.
In Jules Verne’s classic novel “From the Earth to the Moon” (1865), Verne describes the construction of a cannon to shoot a hollow projectile filled with people onto the moon. Friends of steampunk dress in Victorian dresses and suits, wear aviator or welder’s goggles, copper jewellery and walking sticks, and cultivate 19th century manners. Steampunk is surrounded by a very special technology-loving romanticism.

The driving force of the time is steam – so steampunk books, films and TV series describe futuristic technology based on steam engines, mechanical gears and high-precision clockworks. Steampunk as a literary style is based on ideas of authors like Jules Verne and H.G.Wells, who described future technology from the point of view of their time at the beginning of industrialisation in the Victorian era.
