On the way to becoming a bestselling author

Books

My first book project is a very special one: Corporate strength – 15 essays for more success.

I have written a book together with 14 other experts from different corners of the economy. The target group – managers in the SME sector.

The special thing about our book project – the variety of topics and the very diverse team. Practical contributions with a focus on implementation from leadership to team, from conflict to communication, from AI to sales – written by 11 women and 4 token men from Austria, Switzerland and Germany.

My contribution is called “TEAM. Set. Match – high-performance and motivated teams for your company” and deals with how you as a manager can use a personality model and tennis analogies to recognize the strengths of your team members and use them for team success. The aim is to enable you as a manager to better understand and utilize the individual skills of your team in order to maximize team performance and create a harmonious working environment.

Online – Magazines & Blogs

4-part blog series on the success factors of hybrid teams – communication, culture of trust, self-management and leadership. Published in the blog of the Mittelstand Digital Zentrum Berlin.

3-part blog series on the question of what start-ups can learn from large companies – employee retention, further development, process reliability. Published in the Basic Thinking Blog.

Working from home is probably the evergreen in discussions in the corporate environment – at least since Corona. Hardly any other topic is so hotly debated. And hardly any other topic is so heated. Especially those who have to return to the office from working from home are furious. But they shouldn’t take it so hard. A column.

High sickness rate: what’s really wrong is the work system! The high sickness rate at Mercedes-Benz has not only led to discussions within the company itself. It also raises the question of how employers should deal with their employees when business is at a standstill and stress levels are rising. A column.

The stage is a special place
