THE PREREQUISITES OF #LEADERSHIP A short story. My partner and I met, during a youth camp held in Bulgaria, a sort of human resources director, Ukrainian but living in Switzerland. She told us: ' I am interested in bringing my team to the CHALET & SPA MAESTRUL & MARGARETA, as a reward, can you build a program, with everything, visits, fitness training program, etc.? ' We can, of course! We worked on this pre-project and sent it to her. We received, after a first reminder, a sort of vague acknowledgement of receipt. We said to ourselves, 'she works a lot, no doubt' and reminded her a few weeks later. No response. Of course, we understood that this was a person who was not serious, who was in the posture, who thought she was important without being so. We were, however, disappointed. No for an unrealized profit, because the Chalet works well and we consider that money must be a consequence and not an objective in itself. But because this person, known around a campfire, this Mrs. A, seemed to be serious presenting herself as a kind of ' #leader ', following trainings in the field of #leadership. And who will never be a leader. Because, before talking about vision, about the ability to push others to be better, about the 'sophisticated' concepts of leadership, you have to be reliable, a good listener, you have to respond, whatever the answer, and respect others. #Leadership starts with that. If you have that, you can, perhaps, become a leader. But those who do not have it and who believe themselves to be #leaders will never be anything but poor puppets wanting to dress up in costumes or dresses that are always too big for them. As for this Mrs. A.

"Fangt früh genug an zu schwimmen". / "Start to swim early enough". Earlier this week, part of our team has visited our colleagues at _VOIS in Budapest. Colleagues we not only work with on a daily basis (from 1100 km apart), but who are taking over more responsibility from us. This visit also was of special significance for me. My very first professional working day I spent in this same office building- almost exactly 6 years ago… …but enough of nostalgia 😃- what have I learned in these 2 days? What are 𝙨𝙤𝙢𝙚 𝙠𝙚𝙮 𝙛𝙖𝙘𝙩𝙤𝙧𝙨 in us working together from 1100 km apart? 𝗔𝗻 𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗶𝘁𝘂𝗱𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗱-𝗱𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 (𝗮 𝗹𝗮 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝘄𝗶𝗺 𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗹𝘆) Not being afraid/ having the courage to ask questions, even ones “we should know already” or that are inconvenient. In the end of the day these questions enable you to proactively shape and improve the ways of working. "𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘄𝗲 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗱𝗼, 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝘁𝗼𝗼!” - 𝗧𝗿𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗮 𝗽𝘀𝘆𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝘀𝗮𝗳𝗲𝘁𝘆 𝗮𝗰𝗿𝗼𝘀𝘀 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗿𝘆 𝗯𝗼𝗿𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀. Not knowing if the others are up for the challenge- “should I also add this point into the training materials?” “should we share this information or does it just confuse them?” 𝗟𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗮𝗹𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀 𝗺𝗲𝗮𝗻𝘀 𝗮𝗱𝗱𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗼𝗳𝘁𝗲𝗻 𝘂𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗮𝗿𝘆 𝗲𝘅𝘁𝗿𝗮 𝗲𝗳𝗳𝗼𝗿𝘁𝘀. Trust also is about open communication- sharing our mistakes and learn from them together. Helping the team in Budapest to establish the “personal” (albeit remote) connections that we already have. Since I moved from VOIS to Germany, a lot has changed—structural shifts, new faces… Yet, the strong culture remains unchanged. This same engagement level reassured me that the strong cooperation between our teams will continue to flourish. P.S.: Work trip in Budapest means I got to show my home city to your teammates- the food, the touristy spots- a pretty special experience :) #worktrip #trust #remoteteams #psychologicalsafety #teamwork

DEMUT – a few days ago at Bahnhofstrasse 62? Humility might seem like a difficult topic to associate with Bahnhofstrasse in Zurich. After all, when people think of Bahnhofstrasse, they usually think of luxury, superiority, self-presentation, as well as quality, craftsmanship, and tradition. Genesis is the premium brand offering luxury service from South Korea, a country that suffered greatly under imperialism during the two world wars up until the mid-1940s. After the devastating Korean War from 1950-1953, the South Korean population pulled together, showing tremendous humility and willpower, to become one of the world's leading economic powers. The corporate culture at Genesis best reflects the fundamental humility of South Korean society. Our parent company firmly believes that innovation and technological progress from around the world lead to success. Many important positions within the corporation are filled with the best managers globally, unlike some competitors in our industry who often fill key positions with a nationalistic approach. For example, our Chief Creative Officer of the Hyundai Motor Group, Luc Donckerwolke, is a native Belgian and one of the most successful car designers of our time. Various key positions are filled with the best engineers and specialists, regardless of their origin. In South Korea, no one assumes they inherently know better.

Over the past two days our People Summit 2024 with 50 top HR leaders from around the globe took place. 🌍 Preparing for 2025, we aligned our people and organizational priorities with Bosch's business goals and overall strategy . We incorporated perspectives from - science - venture capital - consulting and - internal strategy This diverse input was synthesized into our people and culture portfolio priorities for 2025. Great inspiration coming from Christian Gärtner, Thomas Otter, Kathrin Pannier, Fabio Tank, Stefan Grosch and Dr. Stefan Schmitt.   Thomas Otter, an experienced HR-tech investor, challenged us to think like venture capitalists, asking if we'd invest in our own HR portfolio. And he reminded us that, once upon a time in 1886, Bosch was a startup itself. Some of the key messages Thomas provided were:   🤝       Get outside the four walls – build a diverse network 🐴       Bet on the jockey not on the horse – put people above process 💪       Stop the things you don’t agree with and back those you have conviction for ⌚       Great things take time – think long term Christian Gärtner highlighted the transition to a data-driven HRM company with AI solutions impacting HR. His insights emphasized the importance of organizational design and human resources management in the digital age.   👉 So, taking the investor's mindset: Would you invest in your HR portfolio?   Work #LikeABosch #PeopleStrategy Markus Follmann
