MOTIVATION

People with different characters in my team motivate me extremely much. Coaching them, motivating them and as a result seeing them grow and having success is extremely motivating and important for me. I am ambitious to make and see changes happen and, therefore, being part of a successful team. Motivation means looking towards the future, learning out of the past and not staying in the past - the future we can change based on the knowledge we gain from the past. I am inspired by challenges and enjoy moving forward and not standing still. Driven by figures, steering with KPIs is typical for me to get a quick understanding of the situation and get a quick overview where to focus next. People enjoy working with me, because we don’t look for who is guilty - we look for solutions, everybody makes mistakes, but we can learn from our failures to be better. I strongly believe in the 3rd alternative - in a team we are strong. I really enjoy working with my teams and have a lot of fun. Thank you for your attention and I am looking forward hearing you. Best Regards,

Andreas Goldschmidt
