About me
I don’t know shared leadership from books
I lived shared leadership myself – for years in a job-sharing model, after 15 years of leadership responsibility in banking. That’s why I now guide others.
My path
Leadership in banking – alone at the top
For 15 years I led the classic way: responsibility with one person, decisions with one person, visibility with one person. It worked – and it had a price I could barely name back then.
The move into the shared model
Then I started sharing a leadership role. I had expected the work to halve. In fact, something else doubled first: the need to coordinate. We fell early into a trap I now see in almost everyone – we had never cleanly clarified who decides in case of doubt. At the first real conflict, that gap lay open. We learned it, the hard way, and that’s exactly what I pass on today.
Why I do this today
Because shared leadership rarely fails on the people and almost always on missing structure. And because I know how it feels to be in the middle of it with no one there to ask the right question. Today I ask that question.
What I stand for
- Structure before mood. Good chemistry is nice, but it doesn’t carry a dual leadership.
- Honesty before order volume. If shared leadership doesn’t fit you, I say so.
- Practice before theory. I only recommend what I tried myself.
- Clarity before harmony. The uncomfortable sentence at the right time saves the big conflict later.

Personal
When I’m not thinking about leadership, I’m usually outdoors or in a good conversation that has nothing to do with work. I like clear words, honest people and coffee that’s actually good.
