Steffen Kaiser, German CFO on corporate culture and importance of better taking people into consideration

This week we meet Steffen Kaiser from Germany.

Steffen is an experienced CFO and has been in a multitude of executive management positions.  He has also been the person coming in to a company and having the tough task to massively lay off people, something that deeply affected him.

A sample of things discussed in this episode:

The challenge for management of involving the people who is actually doing the work into decisions that ultimateley impacts them.

How can management get out of their ivory tower and truly take in feedback even when it is not something they want to hear.

How to create an environment where it is not only EBITA but also people that counts.

How to navigate in a corporate experience when you have not only your staff to take care off but also need to manage your peers whose interest is not always aligning to yours and also more difficult to influence.

Listen to a very thoughtful man who has seen it all and been given serious thought on how to improve the corporate experience.
