Clarissa Haller at the Smart Business Day 2020.

The hereditary farmsteads have had their day – what modern leadership means in times of ongoing transformation

Watch the recording now (in German)

In the past, managers had to bring one thing above all else: a long service record and the most specialist knowledge. Today, expertise is still good, but the hereditary farmsteads have had their day. Nowadays, leadership means putting together the right teams, giving them a positive boost and the necessary backing. Leadership is no longer tied to a role or hierarchy – leadership today has many faces, can be felt in many situations and can come from all levels.

In her presentation, Clarissa Haller, Head of Corporate Communications at Siemens, will provide insights into how she understands leadership and which success factors ultimately decide on making teams successful in times of ongoing transformation.
