Axelent and Stuttgarter Kickers in joint network meeting

Axelent GmbH, Stuttgarter Kickers and The German Association for Small and Medium-sized Businesses (BVMW) held a network meeting on leadership in companies. The main speaker for the evening was Dr. Reinhard Sprenger, the most popular management consultant in Germany. He works closely with several well known chief executives in Germany and the rest of Europe.

Sprenger spoke of how a good leader focuses on essentials through clear and consistent actions. He made interesting parallels between professional football and a company’s day-to-day operations. A CEO and a football manager have one thing in common: they have to create the conditions for a group of individuals to be able to form a team that supports each other with success as the joint goal. That is the high art of leadership today. More than 200 guests took part in the network meeting that was held at the Kickers stadium in Stuttgart.

Axelent do Brasil prize awarder and sponsor

The seventh International Health and Safety at Work expo took place in São Paulo on 5–7 August 2015. The Brazil Health Protection and Safety Award 2015 was presented at the show. The award aims to draw attention to the efforts of organisations and staff who have implemented successful measures to improve health and safety in the workplace.

An expert jury chooses the winner and because Axelent is keen to promote the importance of this issue, Axelent do Brasil sponsored the Safety of Machinery and Equipment category. The prizes in the category were awarded by Cassia Cunha at a ceremony that brought together winners, partners and experts in the field.
