#07 Marc-André Gimmy: Chair of the Labor Law Committee at the BRAK

In this episode of TRANSFORMENTORS®, Dr Gunnar Binnewies from Fortlane Partners and Nadja Raiß discuss a topic that many companies fear – but which also offers enormous strategic opportunities: self-administration as a conscious restart in times of crisis. When liquidity comes under pressure, markets collapse and traditional restructuring tools no longer work, management faces a key question: wait and see – or take action?This episode shows why self-administration is not a failure, but an active management decision that opens up scope for action, brings responsibility back to management and can build trust among stakeholders. The focus is on concrete practical experience from hashtag#restructuring and hashtag#insolvency proceedings, typical errors in thinking by decision-makers, special features of labour law, the role of professional communication in times of crisis, and the question of when self-administration makes sense – and when it does not. Open, realistic and without legal euphemisms. A must-read for managing directors, shareholders, advisory board members and executives who bear responsibility when the going gets tough.

This episode of TRANSFORMENTORS® is all about the power of communication in change processes - and the balance that is needed to keep top performers on board during times of change. We talk about the power of strong narratives, communication as a leadership tool and how AI and consulting can become sparring partners.

We talk to Jennifer Hader about Messe München's ability to adapt during and after the coronavirus crisis, changes in the central "People & Culture" department and current topics such as employer branding, flexible working models and talent management (German language). This episode was previously published under the company name "goetzpartners".
