Mistakes are not a weakness. They are the ticket to progress – if you learn from them. If you never admit to mistakes as a leader, it quickly makes you seem unapproachable. If you talk openly about mistakes, you come across as human and on equal footing. This not only helps you grow, but also motivates your team. True strength lies in acknowledging setbacks and doing better next time. When I talk openly about failures, I send a clear message: mistakes are allowed, learning is

Every leader needs someone to challenge their thinking. As a CEO, it's easy to end up in a feedback vacuum. You make decisions, set the direction, and bear responsibility.  But who holds up a mirror to you, when success becomes loud? Great leaders never stop learning. They simply choose better teachers. A good mentor helps you recognize blind spots, broaden your vision, and stay grounded in difficult times. They ask questions instead of giving ready-made answers and help you

It is not constant monitoring that ensures the quality of work, but trust. This creates excellence in teams. It's not about controlling everything yourself, but about empowering the right people to take responsibility. Empowerment means placing trust before it is “earned” and opening up decision-making spaces instead of closing them. The result: teams that not only work, but also think for themselves, and motivation that grows out of genuine personal responsibility. When empl

As a leader, you make decisions every day. Today, choose Day One, the moment when you take action instead of waiting for the perfect moment. One day or Day One. You decide! Many wait for "the right moment" – Day X. Which will never come. The best leaders act now, create momentum, and provide guidance. And they do so regardless of whether they are still uncertain or not. Ask yourself a specific question today: What is your personal Day One? Maybe a short feedback conversation,

You lead in a challenging environment characterized by speed, pressure, and constant availability. Few things are as obvious as this paradox: the more you commit to growth, the more important your own well-being becomes. In leadership, health is the foundation of all strategies, innovations, and team cultures. When you are exhausted, you lack the energy to make clear decisions that will move your team forward. An exhausted leader cannot create an inspiring environment. An ove

I notice it in conversations with managers: perfection is very much in vogue. But true strength is shown when we deal openly with uncertainties. When you are authentic, you signal to your team to do the same. This builds trust, which is a prerequisite for courage and genuine loyalty. Openness about uncertainties creates clarity and encourages honest feedback. At the next team meeting, share a relevant uncertainty and explain why it is important to communicate it. Formulate a

They follow inspiration. Numbers, strategies, KPIs – all of these are important. But true motivation doesn't come from data alone, it comes from meaning. When you inspire as a CEO, you create direction, trust, and a willingness to excel. Inspiration is reflected in your daily attitude: a clear vision, genuine listening, and concrete tactics for how your team can become stronger every day. Live out your own passion for being a role model as a leader. Inspiring leaders create a

Until they know how much you care. Many leaders believe that knowledge, strategies, and experience determine the course of action. That's true, of course, but true leadership only comes into play when you show that you are listening, understanding, and genuinely caring for your team.  Only when your employees feel that they are being seen will they open up to your expertise and follow you even in challenging times.
