“ Then this opportunity arose from nowhere and it sounded interesting, to work with the airlines and aircraft. I went in there with a good mindset and, with no intentions, fell in love with it. It’ s a very unique market because you really learn something every single day, even after( all) this time.”
Empowering decision-making amid chaos Aircraft have to operate continuously across global networks, meaning problems often also arise on a global scale. Andreas explains:“ The market is never still; there are always some surprises every single year to affect business.” The volatility the industry experiences is therefore a constant condition, as opposed to the exception. This often means it’ s easier to simply lean into it.
“ My first mentor said it: we should love problems because problems mean opportunities.”
This mindset feeds directly into his approach to management.
“ If you give someone responsibility, you get ownership back. So that’ s what I try to do as much as I can: give responsibility and empower people.” Andreas was drawn to Kuehne + Nagel by a similar weight of responsibility. Early in his career, he saw how decisions taken at a desk translate directly into movements on the tarmac. Despite it being such a vast operation, the connection between individual action and consequence is immediate.
