When communication between people fits, they are happier in their work

This is precisely the conviction of Stephan Rech, managing partner of Reuse Haustechnik and a passionate nature photographer, who was my discussion partner in the second Glückskinder Talk.

In our conversation, I explored the thoughts and philosophy of a true entrepreneur with passion. We talked about how one grows into a task with great responsibility, what mindfulness means for the culture of a company and what great power lived empathy can develop for an entrepreneur.

Stephan describes himself as a “universal all-rounder” and enthusiastically chose the path into the family business.

In addition, he has a second passion – nature photography. Passion became profession, in which he has made a name for himself. Today, photography for him is like “yoga for the soul”. Balancing, to get distance and relax.

Stephan Rech about the Values Workshop

Stephan successfully founded the WERTE-WERKSTATT with employees in his company, Kassel-based Reuse Haustechnik GmbH.

What are values – for the company, the team, for everyone themselves and for the customer? That was the central question the team addressed.

The result was what makes Reuse and its employees tick, how they relate to each other, develop, contribute and find their place in the company.

Stephan: “If the communication between people fits, then they are happier in their work.”

Stephan’s goal is a “meaningful and people-oriented leadership”. Mindfulness in cooperation, communication and in dealing with other people – living appreciation. In addition, mindfulness towards oneself and to radiate this as a role model.

Stephan’s success shows: With a holistic approach to leadership, you can hold your own sustainably and in the long term, even in a difficult environment.
