DISCUSSION & CONCLUSION
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 2020
Much arises from the task at hand. Leadership principles must be developed, applied, regularly reviewed and adjusted if necessary.
By closely linking science and business, Prof. Dr. Michael Kaschke has made Carl ZEISS AG what it is today: a renowned, globally positioned, highly innovative and successful foundation group. For him, structuring, analyzing and modeling were good methods for solving many problems. He paired this with emotion and intuition, acceptance and perception and thus found his own way of good and modern leadership. He lived this leadership - in an engaging way, as you can hear. Humorous, charismatic, fair, cooperative and always authentic.
