Filiz Albrecht: „Ich halte nichts von Cowboy-Mentalität und autoritärer Führung“
Sie war die erste Vorständin bei Bosch. Seitdem weiß sie: Harte Entscheidungen können nötig sein, Härte gegenüber Menschen nicht. Heute zweifelt sie am Leistungsprinzip. Warum?
Gerlingen, a town close to Stuttgart, serves as a bridge between two worlds for Filiz Albrecht. This location marks the starting point of her unique journey in the corporate world. It took her just a short walk from her home to reach the Schillerhöhe, home to Bosch, the world's largest automotive supplier. In early 2021, she became the first woman to join the executive team at Bosch.
In her role as an Executive Director, Albrecht oversaw personnel and social policy for over 400,000 employees worldwide. She also negotiated with works councils regarding the transition from combustion engines to electric mobility. However, she stepped down voluntarily in March 2023, nine months before her contract ended, as Bosch announced at the time.
Albrecht, now 54, has dedicated most of her career to automotive suppliers. In her first book, "Führung am Kipp-Punkt," set to release at the end of September, she discusses what leadership should look like during times of crisis. Having risen to leadership in a male-dominated field as a Turkish woman, she learned valuable lessons about leadership and power. Today, she questions the meritocracy principle, reflecting on her experience as a top manager.
