KATHARINA AS A LEADER

Success for me is being happy and energized at work and at home. It involves creating an empowering environment and breaking the glass ceiling encountered in male-dominated fields.

Leadership is not directing.

Great Leaders help you to be the best version of yourself.

The future of leadership is sustainable.

When I think of a leader, I think of inspiration.
