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 doubts the principle of performance. Why?
Filiz Albrecht, a 54-year-old German-Turkish businesswoman, has risen to prominence in the automotive industry, becoming the first woman on the management board of Bosch, the world's largest automotive supplier, in 2021. She served as head of human resources and social policy, overseeing 400,000 employees worldwide, before leaving the company in March 2023.
Albrecht has now written a book, "Führung am Kipp-Punkt" (Leadership at the Tipping Point), which explores leadership and power in times of crisis. She currently works as a consultant and author, focusing on transforming leadership styles and supporting workers through industry changes.
