Gerrard Schmid is President and CEO of Diebold Nixdorf, a role he has held since February 2018. As a conscious leader, Gerrard likes to be present; for him, it means being self-aware of what's going on in their organization and very keenly attuned to what their employees are saying and feeling. Plus, being present means he is attuned to what their customers are saying or doing; the same holds true for their investors. As a leader, it is critical to understand what factors you control. During Covid, we have learned how very little control we all have. Tune in as we talk about the importance of courage, vulnerability, and self-awareness for conscious leaders.
