Trust as the Foundation for Innovation – Michèle Lindner on the “Babbeln in der Bubble” Podcast

Innovation requires more than just expertise and technology—it requires people who take responsibility, develop new ideas, and work together to drive solutions forward. The foundation for this is trust.

In the latest episode of the “Babbeln in der Bubble” podcast, our CEO Michèle Lindner discusses her leadership approach, her experiences as an entrepreneur, and the importance of a modern corporate culture.

As CEO of GFN, SELCO, and KBM, she brings decades of experience in developing and leading companies. In the interview, she explains why sustainable success doesn’t come from pressure and short-term targets, but rather from trust, personal responsibility, and the cultivation of individual strengths.

Her guiding principle:
“I don’t lead through pressure and numerical targets—I lead through trust.”

This conviction also shapes the development of KBM Kollagen und Biomaterialien GmbH. Building on many years of expertise in the production of high-quality collagens, we develop innovative biomaterials for medical devices as well as applications in research and development.

In the podcast, Michèle Lindner shares personal insights into her professional career, her experiences as an entrepreneur, and her perspective on future-oriented leadership. It becomes clear just how closely innovation, scientific progress, and a trust-based corporate culture are intertwined.

We would like to extend our sincere thanks to Silke Lerch and Dr. Nils Happich (Link: LERCH + HAPPICH, Kommunikation mit Charakter) for the invitation and the inspiring conversation.
