MEIKE AS A LEADER

Success is about continuous growth and making a meaningful impact. I strive to be a better version of myself and empower others to do the same. My success lies not just in personal milestones but in the positive changes I foster in my professional environment and the inspiration I provide to those around me.

Leadership is not about authority or control, but rather about inspiring and empowering others to achieve collective goals.

Great Leaders empower their team to reach their highest potential, and inspire them to strive a little higher than they themselves think possible.

The future of leadership is driven by empathy, adaptability, and a deep commitment to fostering collaboration and positive change in an ever-evolving world.

When I think of a leader, I think of someone who inspires, guides, and empowers others to reach their full potential while embodying integrity and compassion.

MEIKE ON ADVANCING GENDER-EQUITABLE MOBILITY

Meike emphasizes the importance of designing gender-responsive mobility solutions. She argues that current transportation systems often overlook the different experiences of various genders. True equality in mobility goes beyond mere legal access; it requires practical, everyday accessibility for everyone, including wheelchair users. Leaders can contribute by advocating for inclusive policies, promoting diversity in transportation organizations, and investing in genuinely accessible infrastructure. By raising awareness and supporting research, Meike believes that leaders can ensure a more equitable future in transportation.

MEIKE ON BUILDING A COLLABORATIVE AND SAFE WORK ENVIRONMENT

As a manager, Meike focuses on setting a good example for her team through behavior and communication. She encourages open communication and the sharing of opinions without fear of negative consequences. Regular 1:1 meetings and team retrospectives help foster a safe environment where team members can admit mistakes and address conflicts. Meike also emphasizes showing vulnerability to promote psychological safety, building trust, and encouraging her team to learn and grow. Her approach ensures that her team feels valued and empowered, driving better performance and innovation.
