Filiz Albrecht: "I don't believe in cowboy mentality and authoritarian leadership"
She was the first female executive at Bosch. Since then, she has known that tough decisions may be necessary, but toughness towards people is not. Today she questions the performance principle. Why?
Filiz Albrecht, a 54-year-old German businesswoman of Turkish descent, has risen to become a top manager at Bosch, the world's largest automotive supplier. She served as a member of the company's management board, responsible for personnel and social policy, from early 2021 until her departure in March 2023. Albrecht has spent most of her career in the automotive industry and is now a consultant and author.
Her new book, "Führung am Kipp-Punkt" (Leadership at the Tipping Point), which explores leadership during times of crisis, is set to be released in late September. The industry is undergoing significant changes, with around 100,000 job losses expected between 2019 and 2025.
