From time to time, CEOs lose their composure when they don't think modernization is progressing quickly enough.
Popular target of resentment: middle management.
When
Peter Loescher
(65) was Siemens boss from 2007 to 2013, he spoke of the "layer of clay" that robbed the technology group of its mobility.
Jürgen Schrempp
(78), head of Daimler for ten years until 2005, spoke of the "bullshit castle" to qualify what he believes his managers at the group's headquarters are fabricating.
The verdict of the Lufhansa boss still sounds comparatively commod: "This is not the Lufthansa I want,"
Carsten Spoh
r (56) rumbled internally recently. Nevertheless, the lawsuit marks a turning point: the man is usually well tempered and has endured the peculiarities of the German flagship airline for years, quietly and largely without complaint.
But now, towards the end of his corporate career, he wants to take courageous countermeasures.
In this podcast, Michael Machatschke, the editor's aviation expert, talks to Sven Clausen about how Lufthansa has become an almost ungovernable group, what Carsten Spohr plans to do and what role the dreaded middle management plays in this.
