#31 | Superpower: The good in people

22. June 2023

Georgiy Michailov meets Frank Steimel

A conversation about the right drive for transformations.

37 Min

A beacon of hope or a spectre? Transformation turns upside down, changes and brings something new. Not everyone wants that. But if you are prepared to embrace it, it offers a number of opportunities.
Nevertheless, it is not a foregone conclusion. On the contrary. Companies have to do something about it if transformation processes are to be successful. In other words, they need to define a clear corporate goal. And: Know where you want to go.

For our guest in the current SMP LeaderTalk, these are just two of many success factors. Frank Steimel has a wealth of experience in corporate management and transformation. Another important insight: knowing when to stop.

And he has another important message for all managers: Try to see the good in people. Because there's a lot of potential there that we don't expect. It is the job of good leadership to bring this out and transfer it to companies.

In this podcast episode, he talks with Georgiy Michailov, Managing Partner at Struktur Management Partner, about how his experience in emergency rescue helps him with transformation processes, how much information employees really need, and what qualities good leaders should have.
