My NorthStar: Self-development - continuous learning, with joy, creativity & serenity.
 
As human and a leader ...

1. ... I place a higher value on loyalty than on the desire to bring about change at the expense of others. I always keep the balance between adaptability and value conflict and follow the principles "TAKE IT, CHANGE IT OR LEAVE IT - BUT NEVER BREAK THE RULES".
 
2. ... I am a reflective personality, appreciative all-rounder, and empathic communicator. I define leadership as the ability to shape complex communication. I take responsibility for the quality in a relationship and in communication.
 
3. ... I help my company and those around me to provide an environment that enables and promotes the development of employees with a view to technological progress and global megatrends. In addition, I ensure value-oriented cooperation. 
 
4. ... a "lifelong learning philosophy" is an essential part of my life and a driver of my personal development. As a person and a leader, I fulfil the role of a learning coach and mentor.
 
5. ... I see people and the company as a whole and can deal well with differences. I know my own limitations. I count self-actualization, perseverance, creativity, caring and reliability among my strengths. 
 
6. ... I want to feel good at work and have a meaningful impact in the world. Private life and work are less in conflict with each other.
