Peter Löscher [foto sopra] è il direttore generale del gruppo industriale Siemens, che ha la sede principale in Germania. Recentemente ha dichiarato che l'alta dirigenza dell'azienda sarebbe troppo bianca, tedesca e maschile (!!!). Questa "mono-dimensionalità" renderebbe la società Siemens poco competitiva nel mercato globale e per questo ha annunciato che la sua priorità sarà quella di "migliorare la diversità globale dei manager" (tradotto, introdurrà la discriminazione positiva come criterio di assunzione; che poi avvenga in via ufficiale o ufficiosa poco importa).
Come già abbiamo visto a proposito di Jean-Paul Agon (L'Oréal), è chiaro il cammino (dicesi anche tradimento) che le élites "occidentali" hanno da tempo deciso di intraprendere. Altrettanto chiara è la necessità di tirare la fune in direzione diametralmente opposta, a partire dal nostro quotidiano...

Siemens ‘too white, German and male’

Siemens‘ top management is too German for its own good, as well as too white and male, according to its chief executive.
Peter Löscher, the Austrian-born chief of the German industrial conglomerate, said the priority for his second year in charge would be to improve the “global diversity” of managers and warned that Germany’s competitiveness could be threatened if it failed to do so [ci piacerebbe tanto che lo dimostrasse, ndr].
“The management board are all white males. Our top 600 managers are predominantly white German males. We are too one-dimensional,” he said in an interview to mark his first year in charge.
His comments underline a crucial issue for many German companies, who have benefited enormously from globalisation but still have nearly uniformly home-grown management and supervisory boards.
“It is generally a weakness of German groups. Swiss and Swedish companies have generally been better at building a more global management and culture,” said James Stettler at Dresdner Kleinwort, pointing to companies such as ABB. Herman Simon, a German management consultant, said: “It is one of the key tests for German groups – can they bind their international managers into the companies? Why don’t you see more Chinese or Indians at the top?”
Siemens actually has a high number of foreigners on its management board. Mr Löscher is Austrian and two of the remaining seven members are American. The other five are German. But of its 15 divisional heads, 11 are German. More than 80 per cent of its revenues come from outside Germany.
German companies suffer from a lack of international talent, even more in the supervisory than management boards. The situation for women is even worse: there is not a single female executive in the Dax-30 group of companies.
“It is not a question of quotas,” said Mr Löscher. “But I would like to see a much more diverse board. I would like to see a big Chinese running China and a big Indian running India.”
Asked if such diversity was critical to Germany’s future, he replied: “Absolutely. This is the biggest thing. If you are not representing your global customer base then you won’t tap your full potential. If you are doing well you will have a massive advantage.” Siemens has instigated a mentor programme among senior managers. The young executives Mr Löscher is in charge of include four Germans, two Chinese, a South African, a Pakistani, an American and a Brazilian [notare che questa "diversità globale" esiste già tra i suoi più stretti funzionari, ma Löscher, da buon "ingordo globale", non si accontenta..., ndr].
Hermann Requardt, Siemens’ chief technology of-ficer, said: “There is a global battle for talent. It will be a core competence for senior management in the future.” Companies are facing a particular fight in countries such as China where employees often switch jobs. Siemens relocates 18,000 of its 430,000 global workers each year but Mr Löscher said more needed to be done.
