GUDRUN AS A LEADER

Gudrun believes that true success lies in satisfaction and happiness derived from making a positive impact on society and the environment through her work. Her leadership is marked by endurance, passion, and a positive attitude, all of which have been crucial to her achievements. Gudrun's philosophy emphasizes the importance of balance—between business results and ethical concerns—and the necessity of leading by example with humanity, modesty, and a clear vision.

Leadership is not always easy.

Great Leaders act through natural carisma and great visions.

The future of leadership is more female.

When I think of a leader, I think of clear vision and leading by example.

GUDRUN ON OVERCOMING GENDER BIAS AND BUILDING CONFIDENCE IN LEADERSHIP

Gudrun has faced significant challenges throughout her career, including self-doubt and the limited presence of female role models in her field. As a woman in the technical sector in Central Europe, she had to work harder and perform better than her male colleagues to be visible and receive interesting opportunities. Despite these obstacles, Gudrun's persistence and determination have allowed her to overcome these challenges and rise to leadership positions. She believes that acknowledging and addressing gender bias is crucial, and she actively mentors young women, sharing her experiences to help them navigate similar challenges.

GUDRUN ON THE IMPORTANCE OF PHILANTHROPY AND PEOPLE-CENTERED LEADERSHIP

Gudrun emphasizes the importance of philanthropy in leadership, believing that liking and understanding people is crucial to effective leadership. She views leadership as an act of dedication—not just to tasks but to the people within the team. By prioritizing people work over operational work, she fosters a positive and productive work environment where team members feel valued and supported. This people-centered approach is essential for creating a sustainable and impactful leadership style that inspires others to follow and achieve shared goals.
