    The Courage to Be Human: Inside One of the World’s Boldest Leadership Transformations

    13:50  - 14:25
    This keynote is an invitation to re-examine what it truly means a more self-managing, purpose-driven way of working — and, more importantly, what it means to be deeply human in leadership. It challenges the hidden patterns that quietly limit how fully we show up as leaders. Through the paradoxes at the heart of human-centric leadership, the speaker shares her personal journey and rare inside insights from Bayer’s bold transformation toward Dynamic Shared Ownership (DSO) — a model that distributes decision-making and ownership at scale. If you want to explore what the next era of leadership looks like — and learn from a large-scale transformation in motion — this is a session you won’t want to miss.
