Juergen Schremp’s, Daimler Leadership Tips
- Avoid the danger of a deadly wish for harmony.
- Put unpopular ideas on the table right from the start.
- It’s much better to move fast and make mistakes occasionally then to move too slowly.
- The resistance to change once (employees) feel comfortable again is much greater than if you change during the time they expect changes anyway.
- Just be honest, because you know what feeds people? Honesty. Really. I mean nobody expects honesty in this life.[i]
