Short Bio
Deutsche Bio (English see below)
Seit ich vor mehr als 25 Jahren meine Laufbahn als Berater begann, habe ich eine Reihe von schlechten Managemententscheidungen und frustrierten Mitarbeitern erlebt. Als ich selbst eine Führungsposition innehatte, stellte ich fest, dass diese Aufgabe nicht leicht zu bewältigen war. Meine Vorbilder waren uninspirierend und selbst ahnungslos.
Aus diesem Grund verzichtete ich darauf, meine Mitarbeiter zu "managen", und begann, sie einzubeziehen. Das war der Beginn einer langen, befriedigenden und immer noch andauernden Suche nach Möglichkeiten, Unternehmen und Teams so zu führen, dass alle Mitarbeiter die Chance haben, gemeinsam an etwas Inspirierendem und Erfüllendem zu arbeiten.
Mein Repertoire umfasst heute Themen wie Agilität, Management 3.0, Lean Startup, Happiness at Work, Blue Ocean Strategy, Feedback als Wettbewerbsvorteil, Stress in Teams, erfolgreiche Arbeitsplatzkultur. Aber kurz gesagt geht es immer darum, Menschen zu helfen, sich im Kontext ihrer Arbeit zu entfalten und zu wachsen. Mein spannendstes Forschungsgebiet ist die Frage, wie man das Management in den erforderlichen Wandel einbinden kann.

English Bio
Since I began my career as a consultant more than 25 years ago, I have seen a number of poor management decisions and frustrated employees. When I was in the management role myself, I found that the job was not easy to do. My role models were uninspiring and clueless themselves.
For this reason, I refrained from managing my people and began to involve them. That was the beginning of a long, satisfying and still ongoing search for ways to manage companies and teams in a way that gives all employees a chance to work together on something inspiring and fulfilling.
My repertoire today includes topics like Agility, Management 3.0, Lean Startup, Happiness at Work, Blue Ocean Strategy, Feedback as a Competitive Advantage, Stress in Teams, Successful Workplace culture. But in a nutshell, it's always about helping people thrive and grow within the context of their work. My most exciting area of research is how to engage management in the required transformation.

Leading Distributed Agile Teams
Distributed teams are teams whose members do not all work in the same location. But this is not it: A truly distributed team only exists when there is no center, or centers, of work. Stefan Mintert and Jens Thiemann explain, what distributed teams and their challenges are and how to lead distributed agile teams to high-performance.
