Leadership principles

A strong leader represents strong values and exemplifies them to his employees. That is why our executives live by these principles:

My leadership is based on partnership

I encourage cooperation within the team and beyond departmental and corporate boundaries. I encourage mutual exchange and provide transparent information. I support proactive thinking and networking. I point out correlations.

I encourage and request

I awaken the interest of employees and boldly face changes together with them. I see change as an opportunity and drive it forward. I support and encourage employees to engage in continuous personal and professional development to stay at the cutting edge of development. I awaken their passion and enable them to deliver excellent work results.

I transfer responsibility

I transfer competencies and responsibility to employees. I set challenging goals and grant room to manoeuvre. I delegate cleanly and clearly and allow for mistakes.

My behaviour is appreciative and fair

I give honest and appreciative feedback. I communicate openly, fairly, regularly and in good time. I address unpleasant issues and handle conflict constructively. I stick to promises and keep my word. I am a role model and live by that role.
