FINAL WORDS

STANDING RECEPTION & FLYING BUFFET

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 2019

Dr. Hans J. Langer

Thirty years of company history have shown me that, in addition to many other skills, it is ultimately about inspiring people and awakening an entrepreneurial spirit in everyone involved. And in the end, our technology helps to make the world a little better every day.

Dr. Langer has succeeded in a unique way in forging a very successful company based on a clear technological focus and reflective leadership principles. He has shown us new approaches and demonstrated the power of an unshakeable vision. His employees not only know his canon of values, but also identify with them and live by them.
