Two Questions for IWM Strahltechnik GmbH owner Stefan Maier<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

You've been self-employed since 1991 in a very specialised field. How do you stay motivated?<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Through variety. There are always new processes to test, new machines. I find out what others are doing, what the specialist institutes are recommending. If you don’t stay on the ball, you can’t keep up technologically. Customer requirements also evolve, new legislation is introduced and I am constantly learning.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t

Managing 28 people is a challenge - what have you learnt over the years?<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

You have to take things in stride and not make assumptions, because everyone feels differently. As an entrepreneur, I have a different perspective from my employees anyway. I used to be more impulsive, but I’ve learnt to keep calm and collected when things go wrong.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Zwei Fragen an IWM Strahltechnik GmbH Chef Stefan Maier<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t

Du bist schon seit 1991 in einem sehr speziellen Gebiet selbst\u00e4ndig. Wie bleibst du motiviert?<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Durch Abwechslung. Es gibt immer wieder neue Verfahren zu testen, neue Maschinen. Ich informiere mich, was die anderen machen, was die Fachinstitute empfehlen. Wer nicht am Ball bleibt, kann technologisch nicht mithalten. Auch die Anforderungen der Kunden entwickeln sich weiter, es kommen neue Gesetze und ich bilde mich st\u00e4ndig weiter.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t

28 Mitarbeiter zu f\u00fchren ist eine Aufgabe \u2013 was hast du im diesem Bereich \u00fcber die Jahre gelernt?<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Man muss Dinge gelassen nehmen und darf nicht von sich selbst ausgehen, denn jeder empfindet anders. Als Unternehmer habe ich sowieso einen anderen Blick als meine Mitarbeiter. Fr\u00fcher war ich impulsiver, aber ich habe gelernt, gelassen zu bleiben, wenn mal was schief geht, und F\u00fcnfe gerade sein zu lassen.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
