In today's episode, we have the great pleasure to learn from Dr Martin Hartenstein on what it means to be a great leader. With 25 years of experience across banking, insurance, consulting, startups and private equity, Martin brings a deep passion for people, leadership and family.

True leadership isn’t just about giving directions—it’s about building trust, supporting your team through challenges and giving them the autonomy to figure out how to reach their goals. Listen actively, offer immediate feedback and remember to praise in public and provide constructive criticism privately. Leadership starts with leading yourself, even if you don’t hold an official title.
