Background to the award
The German Leadership Award was created on the initiative of the German alumni of the Collège des Ingénieurs (CDI) in 2013 and is being presented for the third time this year. The award recognizes managers, companies or institutions that introduce and implement leadership in their working environment in an innovative and successful way and that bring the topic to the public in a particularly value-adding way.
The award reflects the views of young, successful Generation Y managers (born after 1980) on leadership in German-speaking companies or institutions. Excellent young engineers, alumni of the renowned Collège des Ingenieurs, look for outstanding examples of exemplary corporate leadership and submit nominations based on their own experiences.
Award winner 2017
You lead as a captain and as a coach by giving your managers the opportunity to reflect on decisions. Your straightforwardness and down-to-earth attitude is what makes you so outstanding as a leader. With you, leadership is not a dictate from above, but an appeal to each individual to think and act responsibly!
