🎧 Be a sparring partner
As a child, I perceived my dad to be working long hours, spending time with his team members rather than us kids, and once a year inviting his team to our home for a BBQ in the summer. But never have my dad and I really sat down to discuss his leadership experience. During the Christmas vacation, I wanted to change that and invited him to my podcast Destination Leadership since he has leadership experience with different teams for around 20 years at the DEG (German Investment and Development Company) that is part of the KfW.
In our conversation, you can hear about my dad’s rocky start as a first-time leader, how he saw his role as a leader also in being a sparring partner and how it was important for him to have the people in his team feel that he has their back in difficult situations. Listen to the new episode here.
