Jointly with Human-Centric Leaders I was able to design and implement a new group-wide Leadership Program that builds the backbone and essential foundation for creating our aspired leadership culture. I feel a sincere and very high sense of co-ownership from the Human-Centric Leaders for making this aspiration become reality and for creating the transformational impact
