The management of an owner operated agency.

I have run the agency since 1995, starting out as Dietz Kommunikation and then becoming diezk.. We are an owner-managed dialogue and online agency, with a team of almost 40, led by me and a management circle of respective department heads.

The growth of the agency has brought many challenges with it. Agencies live, above all from the individual team members and the ability of management to develop individual talents for the advancement of the team. These team members have to be found, developed, trained, motivated and their know-how has to be efficiently integrated into teams. I see these as my core responsibilities – not always easy, but simply the right way to communicate to all that ‘us’ and together feeling, that we need in a demanding day-to-day environment.
