We have condensed our requirements and principles for good leadership into five core aspects. Our convictions, which guide our managers in their dealings with employees, are formulated in these Leadership Principles.
For Knorr-Bremse, good leadership means creating a working environment in which employees can fully realize their potential. We regard this as the basis for our company’s performance, its ability to innovative and its enduring success. All our activities are grounded in our corporate values. Our managers bear a special responsibility to breathe life into our values on a daily basis.
Transformational leadership: role model, mentor, inspiration
Our Leadership Principles guide our managers in this task. They are based on the concept of transformational leadership, which calls for leaders who:
- aspire to be role models;
- inspire their teams and fuel their desire to reach shared goals;
- stretch, encourage and appreciate each individual;
- fill their roles with meaning, so everyone understands the “why” behind what they do.
With the five core ideas, our managers lead our employees toward optimal collective performance and results. The basic prerequisite here is a genuine interest in other people, because this is what enables leaders to align each individual’s ongoing development with their personal strengths.
