Table 6: Leadership 4.0 – agile beyond the hype

Supplier or OEM, Hungarian owner or global group – doesn’t matter. The question of how to design and operate an operational management system at an automotive company is an interesting topic for everyone. However, the industry still needs significant improvements in this area. Also the biggest ones! Agile leadership or traditional leadership structures? What is (lean) „leadership" at a manufacturing company? Why is it necessary? What are the most important elements? What can we learn from car manufacturers and what can we do better about leading / leadership system?
