Transparency, trust, teamwork
How we practice good leadership

Our principles for good leadership

Leadership at Schaeffler is based on transparency, trust, and teamwork. Our managers assume responsibility for decisions while also encouraging others to make decisions of their own. An open culture of feedback and trust in the abilities of others is an important basis here.

Six leadership essentials guide us every day

Connect for success – Empower your team – Care for people – Manage for results – Drive the change – Take on responsibility. The six leadership essentials provide the framework for our leadership culture and are thus of particular importance for the future success of our company.

Achieving outstanding results for our customers requires good relationships and teamwork. This means that we have to focus on results in an open and cooperative manner instead of simply thinking about our own success. That is how we define real team work at Schaeffler. Our employees are essential to our success, so we must support them and help them to develop. This can only be achieved through open communication and constructive feedback.

Our leadership essentials were developed in workshops with hundreds of managers and employees from Schaeffler worldwide. They are valid worldwide and draw the focus to areas that are vital for us to position ourselves correctly.
