As a long-term practitioner in the field, I believe the discussions on what Germany could improve are crucial. However, from my experience, there’s a significant gap between what is talked about and the actual implementation. We have numerous programs aiming to promote various initiatives, but when it comes to practice, the execution is either poor or absent. This is especially evident when addressing the integration of international professionals into the German workforce. A critical point that is often overlooked is the need for immigration policies and related authorities to enhance their own processes and training. We constantly discuss labor shortages and the importance of attracting international talent. Yet, there are clear issues with the “welcoming culture” — not only within governmental institutions but also in smaller businesses. While large corporations have the resources to manage these challenges, smaller companies struggle with language barriers and information gaps. Instead of continuously seeking new solutions, we should focus on addressing the existing challenges through closer collaboration between politics and the business world. All relevant institutions need to take proactive steps, and every available media platform should be leveraged to raise awareness and apply public pressure. Without this, real change is unlikely. Since 2020, Germany has officially become an immigration country, but the visa process has not significantly evolved. Many obstacles remain, which discourage qualified immigrants from coming to Germany. It’s time we stop creating unnecessary barriers for international talent, as this prevents us from truly addressing the skilled labor shortage. #Fachkräftemangel #InternationaleFachkräfte #Einwanderungspolitik #Willkommenskultur #Fachkräfteeinwanderung #Umsetzung #ZukunftDeutschland #Wirtschaftspolitik #Arbeitsmarkt #Mittelstand #Großkonzerne #SkilledLabor #Germany #CollaborativeSolutions

👨‍💼👩‍💼Von Micromanagement zu Mitarbeiter - Empowerment 😊, ein interessanter Beitrag von meinem Partner - Kollegen Dipl.-Ing. Andreas Weis, EO Executives Deutschland. Are your team members happy? This question might seem trivial, but it's actually essential for the overall success of your company. To reach your business goals, you need motivated and dedicated employees. However, studies indicate that more and more employees lack a deep emotional attachment to their jobs due to dissatisfaction with work conditions, resulting in declining performance. One major problem is an outdated leadership style: Micromanagement places stress on individuals and obstructs independence, creativity, and individual development. To create an efficient work environment and progress towards collective goals, you need to empower your employees. Trust, support, and communication are key to success.

Do you really need an executive search consultancy? Well, it would be strange if I, as the managing director of an executive search consultancy, answered this question with ‘no’. 😄 Nevertheless, I would like to briefly discuss the advantages of working with us: 1️⃣ We have a broad network of highly qualified candidates that cannot be reached via simple job adverts, personal network or active sourcing. 2️⃣ We are outside of internal company structures and therefore have a non-judgemental, supportive approach to recruitment. 3️⃣ As we know both the skills of the applicants and the requirements of your company, you only interview candidates who are a good fit for you. 4️⃣ Manager positions are quickly filled with your preferred candidates, reducing your employees' workload in the long term. Do you need support in recruiting top managers? Feel free to send me a message here on LinkedIn.

🎥 In the consulting landscape, family businesses are different. Why? Time for a look behind the scenes of Kienbaum. ❗ SMEs are the backbone of our economy. But who or what is actually behind this? 🏢 Although many family businesses are medium-sized companies, not all medium-sized companies are necessarily family businesses. But regardless of how you look at it, the figures stick: A good nine out of ten private companies in Germany belong to the family business category, in which almost 60 percent of private sector employees work. 💡 The fact that family businesses are a special feature in consulting for various reasons prompted us to provide insights into our everyday consulting work in a new documentary. 🎬 The series "The Mittelstand" has set itself the goal of making the importance of medium-sized companies as drivers of innovation and growth for our business location accessible to a broad audience. In addition to companies such as FRoSTA AG or HANSA-FLEX AG, we were accompanied for a year by a film team from the production company Kinescope Film GmbH under the direction of Leonard Geßner. 👉 CLICK HERE FOR THE DOCUMENTARY: https://lnkd.in/esaZzZBS

RESILIENCE THROUGH CONTINGENCY   THE UNIQUE CONTRIBUTION OF BABY BOOMERS TO THE WORKPLACE   Baby boomers aren't always popular, and younger generations sometimes poke fun at the "boomers."   In his latest book, "Abschied von den Boomern (2024)", sociologist Heinz Bude explores what the workplace—and especially younger generations—will miss when the boomers retire.   Resilience Through Contingency   Professor Bude's summary highlights that baby boomers have experienced a lot of unpredictability and major shifts. However, they have also learned the lesson: "We can handle this."   The baby boomers had to figure out many things on their own, as much of what is now standard in the job market was first established by the boomers themselves.   Unlike younger generations, baby boomers grew up with the feeling of being "too many." Whether in school, university, or the workplace, this shaped their attitude towards work and life.   So, what exactly do baby boomers bring to today's workplace that younger generations can learn from and benefit from?   1. Pragmatism: Baby boomers have a pragmatic approach to work and adapt to circumstances. This pragmatism means that job market crises do not automatically turn into identity crises for them, unlike for younger generations.   2. Composure: Baby boomers take things more relaxed and have mastered the art of setting boundaries. They resist the new trend of being "Always On," which leads to significant stress in the work lives of younger generations due to the felt pressure of constant availability.   3. Balancing Competition and Cooperation: According to Heinz Bude, baby boomers have a unique ability to balance competition with cooperation. Having always been surrounded by many peers in school, university, or the workplace, they learned to share their (work)space with others and to be team players. Boomers had to learn early on how to collaborate effectively and make compromises, especially since everything took place on-site—without the benefits of home office or remote work/study.   Conclusion:   In the coming years, younger generations could gain valuable clues and insights for resilience and composure from baby boomers—if they younger ones are receptive.   For more on this topic, read the entertaining book (Abschied von den Boomern, 2024)   #boomer #babyboomer #warfortalent #newwork #executivesearch #kestria #kestriagermany

Tanja Kewes and Handelsblatt reporting today on our 2024 analysis of German DAX Supervisory Boards. The 14th edition of this study by Russell Reynolds Associates shows that while in its first year female representation was at 7% now 40% have been achieved. It goes without saying that an ideal board composition needs to take many other aspects into account, but all considered, DAX Supervisory Boards improved over the years - still leaving some potential to be unlocked.

„Doing the right thing even if no-one is looking“ - that is a good definition of #integrity. How to improve your skills to be able to do so is one of many questions to be answered for a good corporate culture. It was a pleasure to share my experience and thoughts about it with some distance in this podcast. Thanks #BCG and Dr. Katharina Hefter for the opportunity.

💡 Artificial Intelligence (AI) has the potential to act as a catalyst for a wide variety of transaction types. Particularly, generative #AI possesses the power to disrupt entities ranging from corporate giants to startups, impacting sectors and even entire industries. Although generative AI is still in its infancy, its influence on business and society is already becoming significant. AI can drive substantial cost efficiencies, create new revenue streams, open new customer channels, and both enhance and commoditize value propositions. The forthcoming AI wave will compel companies to reassess their strategies, business models, markets, and competitors. This movement is likely to generate a spectrum of transactions, from traditional mergers and acquisitions (M&A) to partnerships, alliances, and innovative relationships previously unseen. Read the complete report below.
