Leading in Times of Change: Taking Responsibility and Shaping the Future

Unlike almost any other industry, media companies are under constant pressure to change—from print to digital, from local to global, and from broadcasting to dialogue. What role do leadership, corporate culture, and quick decision-making play in this transformation? Eva-Maria Bauch, CEO of Mediengruppe Oberfranken, discusses the challenges and transformations in the media industry with podcast hosts Joy Edwin Thanarajah and Harald R. Fortmann. She talks about the importance of curiosity, the influence of artificial intelligence, and the need for transparent communication in leadership positions, and shares her experiences and insights.
