Not figuratively, but literally. Keynote speaker and <strong>leadership <\/strong>expert Dr. Nikolai A. Behr was the first European to conduct a 360-degree interview in the weightlessness of a parabolic flight. This unique <strong>experience <\/strong>in zero gravity became a symbol of modern <strong>management <\/strong>for him: in a space with no up or down, no fixed grid, it quickly becomes clear what really matters.   <\/p>\n<p>In this inspiring <strong>speech <\/strong>for <strong>managers <\/strong>and <strong>entrepreneurs<\/strong>, Dr. Nikolai Behr brings his extraordinary <strong>experience <\/strong>from space back into everyday <strong>management<\/strong>. He makes it clear that successful leadership does not begin with control, but with a feeling for the dynamics of the space, whether in a meeting or in market change. Those who act too forcefully in zero gravity will veer off course. The same applies to leadership: only with sensitivity, clarity, and experience can you exert a lasting influence.   <\/p>\n\n<style>.kb-image1543_a29d98-48 .kb-image-has-overlay:after{opacity:0.3;}<\/style>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-kadence-image kb-image1543_a29d98-48 size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/dr-behr.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/bsHP_Interview_slider-1-e1753026345248.jpg\" class=\"kb-advanced-image-link\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"608\" src=\"https:\/\/dr-behr.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/bsHP_Interview_slider-1-1024x608.jpg\" alt=\"Dr. Nikolai A.
