GERMAN LEADERSHIP AWARD (GLA)
We are in the transition from the digital era to the AI era, with leadership increasingly characterized by the integration of AI technologies.
Leaders need to be agile and flexible to integrate the rapid development of AI and have a deep understanding of these technologies to make data-driven decisions.
Strong ethical accountability and fostering collaboration between humans and machines are crucial.
In addition, continuous learning and adaptation to new technologies is essential to foster innovation and creativity.
These approaches mark a shift from the traditional German corporate culture, which relied heavily on stability and hierarchy, to a more dynamic, technologically savvy and human-centered leadership.
The award winners characterize the German Leadership Award (GLA) in a particularly authentic way. For the past decade, the jury has been nominating exemplary leaders who introduce and implement leadership in their working environment in an innovative and successful way and bring the topic to the public in a particularly value-adding way.
The German Leadership Award emerged in 2014 from the annual alumni convention of the CDI, a training ground for young engineers and scientists in France, Germany and Italy, whose network was consolidated at the renowned Palais Biron business conference center in Baden-Baden-Baden.
After award ceremonies in Baden-Baden and from 2019 in Munich, the GLA will move to the Bildungscampus Heilbronn in 2024. In conjunction with a European summer school "Leadership in the Digital Age" of the European Leadership Center gGmbH, Munich / Heilbronn and the Collège des Ingénieurs Deutschland, Munich.
