Leadership is about integrating opposites

I’ve created a short video teaser with some highlights from my recent interview with Prof. Fons Trompenaars, the acclaimed management guru and author of the classic book »Riding the Waves of Culture«.

Fons Trompenaars is well-known throughout the world for his ground-breaking work on the subject of management across cultures and business transformation.

The interview was made possible with the support of Achim Dunker, cameraman, director and author of »Portrait Lighting for Photo, TV and Cinema« and »Die chinesische Sonne scheint immer von unten«.
