Five areas. Five worlds.
Oliver Brück, Head of Systems Engineering
"It was one of the biggest challenges of my career: merging the technical department into the SE group after my predecessor left. What I found was a mosaic of cultures, working methods, and personalities. Five areas, five worlds: risk management, development laboratory, life cycle management, product development, design control, and technical packaging. Each unit had its own rules, its own dynamics, and its own points of friction.
A puzzle of skills and personalities
Introverts met extroverts. Traditionalists met innovators. Old hands met new talent. Some were full of optimism, others rooted in the tried and tested. A multifactorial puzzle that needed to be put together. My mission: to form a unity out of these contrasts. A team that is more than the sum of its parts. But how?
My recipe: the Swedish mindset. Don't command, understand. Don't control, connect. Only demand what I myself exemplify. I opened my office door in the truest sense of the word. My leadership agenda was simple: transparency, listening, empathy. Everyone should know: here is someone who listens, who supports, and who walks the path together with them.
Change requires space and time
Developing a team required more than just meetings and processes. It required mutual understanding. Regular joint meetings became part of everyday life. Team events also brought people closer together on a personal level. The path was not easy. Change is never comfortable. But I gave my team time. Time to doubt. Time to ask questions. Time to grow. The result is a department that has grown together not despite its diversity, but because of it, and that works together very effectively.”
