Dr. Bernhard Kaumanns

As CEO and founder of Leaders who care, I am both an entrepreneur and a leader.

Every day my team and I are focusing on supporting leaders on building sustainable and healthy teams and organizations.

Throughout my 35 business years in healthcare, I have been exposed to many challenges. I am grateful for all the experiences I made and all the people I was lucky to work with – they made me the person & leader I am today.

I am a life-long learner and making the world a bit better every day drives me. And 15 years of ZEN meditation, the love for nature, Yoga and Aikido educated me about to power of mindfulness and serenity.

Leadership and Management

Being in Leadership & Executive roles over two decades I could witness what good and bad leadership looks like and how teams can thrive with trust and purpose or drown under micro-management and politics.

My leadership mantra therefore is:

Great teams nurture trust, focus, energy and purpose to stay healthy and performing.

All this drives our work ethics, team behaviours and customer focus at Leaders who care. And with respect to health and performance, I believe in the wise doctor’s saying: Prevention is better than cure.

Translated into today’s business world, companies need to be more proactive in implementing mental & physical Wellbeing at work to prevent work-related stress. Finding the optimal performance level (OPL) between stress and recovery means to balance health and performance, both personally and throughout the company.

Today, where workplace stress – both mental and physical – is vastly increasing and in parallel employee engagement is reaching historic lows, particularly among younger workers, we see clearly: just continuing is not an option.

At Leaders who care, we envision a future that creates healthier, happier, and more productive place of work by championing Well-being at work as a core focus and strategic executive goal.

This will change work towards a culture of sustainable, healthy performance.
