My mission: Shaping change with people for people

My mission: Shaping change with people for people
A leader with brains, heart & humor, a listener & coach who puts people first.
What counts for me:
- A person's attitude is decisive for the result.
- Cooperation between people increases the result.
- Work is a fundamental part of our lives.
- Production is the core of every economy.
- Innovations are the driving force behind new products and the way they are designed.
- Disruptions are opportunities and offer new possibilities.
I am looking for better ways through the jungle of a complex world in which I am part of the expedition and help others along the way.
I have learned and appreciate the following things:
- Letting people participate and shape things is more powerful than imposing requirements.
- A learning organization is adaptable and has greater resilience.
- Collaboration with customers is more than just contract and claim management.
- My mission "Shaping change with people for people".

Getting through crises together with authenticity and approachability and growing from them.
