Building a diverse GF

CEO Andreas Müller talks about inclusive leadership to build winning teams.

What makes GF a great company? I am convinced it is the more than 15’000 employees who come to work every day full of motivation and ambition, and who also expect a welcoming work environment, respectful of their individuality and life journeys. As leaders of a global company, we are responsible for the creation of such an environment, one in which authenticity plays a key role and each individual, no matter what their age, gender or personal beliefs, is given an opportunity to thrive.

How can we lead inclusively? It wouldn‘t be easy without having a genuine interest in people – in their experiences, backgrounds and opinions. I, for example, am curious about anyone with whom I might interact, as this is always an opportunity for me to be exposed to new ideas and inputs and different ways of seeing the world. We also need to encourage individuals to express themselves, validating their thoughts and building their confidence through equitable treatment and psychological safety. Finally, we need to be mindful of our own unconscious biases, keep them in check and work to remove barriers.

At GF, diversity and inclusion also play a role in developing people’s creativity. From the production floor to the corporate office, our teams are constantly generating ideas and innovation. A diverse GF, an inclusive GF – that’s one of the ways in which we will achieve our full potential together.
