The Power of Individual Impact and Value-Based Leadership
In this conversation, Christian speaks to Rolf Schrömgens. Rolf provides insights into how leaders can develop their purpose, competence, and community to have a positive impact.
Rolf Schrömgens is a serial entrepreneur and right out of university, in 1999, he started one of the best-funded European first-wave internet companies ciao.com. In 2005, he started his second company trivago.com, which became, within a decade, the most successful hotel search and one of the largest global consumer brands. He brought trivago public at Nasdaq in 2016 and moved from his CEO role into a board position in 2020. Lately, Rolf co-founded leadership.sprouts, an NGO that aims to evolve leadership into the digital age.
Rolf shares his personal experience with the downside of capital markets on long-term vision and value creators within a company, and how his own success led him to believe in the power of individual impact and value-based leadership. He emphasizes the importance of self-awareness and upgrading one's operating system to foster growth and change.
