OUR LEADERSHIP PRINCIPLES: A STRONG INNER COMPASS

An important requirement for good work is good leadership. We have therefore committed ourselves to the following four leadership principles, which give our company a clear direction.

  • Actively live a positive leadership attitude and employee strengths
    We live positive conflict management, solve problems sustainably and see challenges as opportunities. We promote the strengths of our employees, treat them with respect and trust at all times and provide honest feedback on a regular basis.
     
  • Keeping the overall goals in mind 
    We lead in a goal-oriented manner, and always keep the overall result in sight. Every employee contributes significantly to this and is guided by entrepreneurial thinking and action.
     
  • Building trust through communication and transparency
    We maintain trusting communication, deal transparently with requirements and make clear, reproducible decisions. We delegate responsibility in a targeted manner and at the same time remain a cooperative partner.
     
  • Being a role model
    We set a good example – enthusiastic, willing to perform and committed. We mean what we say and act accordingly. We allow ourselves to be measured by our binding behaviour at all times.

DEVELOP EXCELLENT SHIPS – AND YOURSELF

Shipbuilding is teamwork with a passion – and if you want to build excellent naval vessels and coastguard vessels, you need an excellent team. People with vision, enthusiasm and perseverance, with the skills and the will to be part of something special. Therefore, we are not only looking for highly committed, excellently trained and motivated employees – we also encourage and support them. Employee development and motivation are anchored in our management principles. We always try to give your unique strengths and talents room to develop and offer attractive opportunities for advancement and further training. The Talent Programme, the First Leadership Programme and the Project Excellence Programme are established parts of our human resources development. In the First Leadership Programme, we place particular emphasis on the development of leadership skills and a successful transfer of practical experience.
 

The Talent Programme supports our employees in recognising and promoting their own strengths and potential. The Project Excellence Programme promotes employees with a project management focus. In our development programmes, we place particular emphasis on the networking of our employees across locations and a constructive, cross-hierarchical exchange, also with experienced managers.

We offer these programmes for one simple reason: our employees are the most important part of our success!
