SPEAK LIKE A CEO

194: How to Make Change Happen. Jörg Hellwig, Founder & Investor


Listen Later

Most people abhor change. But without change, your business will never succeed. This is why Jörg Hellwig puts change at the centre of everything he does – from digitalising companies, building new businesses, and adapting communication processes.

 

Jörg is the former CDO of multi-billion Euro revenue company LANXESS, founder of CheMondis, and angel investor.

 

According to Jörg, any success should be followed by change. When things are going well you are in the best position to change because it leaves room for failure. Fail fast, adapt, and keep the pressure on to become successful.

 

And how does he convince people of change? He tells stories to motivate his teams to come with him on the journey, and he gives them the licence to prompt him to change him too. 

 

In this week’s episode, Jörg talks us through how he transformed a massive company, why the 2008 financial crisis was the best thing that could have happened to him, and the importance of having fun to succeed.
