What is different about leading in corporations, NGOs, and entrepreneurial environments – and what remains the same? In this episode of the LEITWOLF® Podcast, Stefan speaks with Till Wahnbaeck, one of the most versatile leaders you will meet. His career spans Procter & Gamble, Wella, serving as CEO of Welthungerhilfe, and now founding IMPACC. He brings a unique perspective on leadership across business, development, and entrepreneurship. They explore key moments that shaped his leadership, what great leadership truly means, and how to recognize leadership talent. Till shares insights on the differences and similarities between corporate and NGO environments, how leadership varies across cultural contexts, and what European leaders can learn from Africa. A central theme is the discipline of prioritization, the ability to say no, and the importance of continuous self-development. One thing becomes clear: effective leadership requires clarity, strong values, and the willingness to take responsibility – regardless of the environment. A conversation about leadership across worlds, about creating impact beyond systems, and about what truly matters when it counts. ––– More about Till: // LINKEDIN: https://www.linkedin.com/in/till-wahnbaeck-35b1018/ // Impacc: https://impacc.org/de/ ––– Do you like the LEITWOLF® Leadership podcast?
