Fostering Servant Leadership and Driving a Culture of Fearless Experimentation
Atul Athavale
Atul Athavale will draw from his leadership roles at Huawei, Airbus, and Deutsche Telekom to talk about how organizations can bridge the gap between ‘European precision’ and ‘Shenzhen speed’. He will discuss how to transform into an agile and AI-powered system, foster a culture of fearless experimentation, and embrace servant leadership. Atul will share learnings on:
The difference between the European and Chinese innovation approach – and how to leverage a customer-centric mindset to ensure success with innovation
Empowering innovation teams – driving innovation from a core team to start with small steps and why agility comes from customer focus
The role of servant leadership in empowering teams and creating a platform to enable them to experiment instead of providing a clear picture and roadmap
The benefits and challenges with the Chinese approach – and the example of a successful approach in Europe
