Control feels comforting, especially when markets swing and supply chains snap, but Ulrich Lausecker, Member of the Executive Board of the Plansee Group, calls control what it often is: an illusion. We sit down to unpack how a 105-year-old, family-owned global materials company stays robust in volatile times, even as tungsten and molybdenum become strategic flashpoints for the semiconductor industry, medical technology, and advanced manufacturing.
We get specific about the strategy: a narrow focus on core metals, a broad portfolio of applications, and decades-long investment to secure access to critical raw materials outside China. When the Western world faces tungsten scarcity and prices surge, availability becomes the edge, and long-term thinking stops being a slogan and starts being a survival skill.
Then we go deeper into leadership under complexity. Ulrich shares the journey from early “control freak” tendencies to leading through orientation, clear expectations, and trust. We explore what psychological safety really means day to day, why learning depends on allowing mistakes without blame, and how leading by example showed up during COVID, from quarantine decisions to keeping production safe for frontline teams.
If you’re navigating chaos, uncertainty, or high-stakes decisions, this conversation offers a practical compass: know who you truly are, name your North Star, and communicate expectations with real clarity.
