How to Successfully Lead a Geographically Dispersed Company

By Susie Gharib | @susiegharib | February 24, 2016, 1:34 PM EST

Diebold CEO Andy Mattes explains.

Transcript of Interview with CEO Andy Mattes for Fortune.com

 

Susie Gharib:    Andy, you have a tough job as CEO of Diebold. You are based in your headquarters in Canton, Ohio, but most of your other employees are far away from that headquarters. Why did you allow this kind of situation to develop?
Andy Mattes:    In the 21st century, people don’t move to corporate headquarters anymore. You have to provide an environment, especially if you’re a mid-size company, where we can embrace talent wherever it exists, wherever people want to contribute to our organization, and give them a platform to work from there.
   Our customers are the largest financial institutions. They’re all over the map. The important thing is not where does the leadership team reside, the important thing is, how open of a level of communication do you have amongst the leadership, and do you make time for that communication?
Susie Gharib:    How do you effectively lead in a situation like that?
Andy Mattes:    We’re extremely virtual, we’re on weekly calls with the management team, we’ve got videoconferencing going, we get ahold of each other basically 24/7. I can drum up my management team at any given point in time with a 30-minute notice to discuss whatever we need to discuss.
Susie Gharib:    You know, when people talk about leadership, they always talk about the corporate culture. You’ve got a lot of different cultures going on in your company, because you have some of your employees are on the East Coast, some are on the West Coast, some are in Canton, Ohio, and some are in Asia. How- and soon, you have people who are going to be in Germany as well. How do you make all of these cultures work together as a leader?


Andy Mattes:    I grew up in Germany. There is a great term in the German language, it’s called Streitkultur, the culture to argue and to debate with each other, to be tough on a topic but never, ever make it personal, and we’ve worked really hard to develop that culture, of debating topics openly in our company, anybody in the leadership team can take a contrarian view on just about anything that we discuss to make sure that we come to the best outcome, to the best results for the organization, and it’s amazing how that gels a team together.
Susan Gharib:    Andy, you’ve worked at many different places in your career. You were at Siemens of Germany for many years, then you want to Hewlett-Packard. Along the way, what would you say was the best advice that you got on leadership?
Andy Mattes:    One of my old bosses told me very early that if you stare at numbers long enough, they will confess the truth. If you really look at the numbers and you try to connect the dots between the numbers, it cuts through a lot of noise, it cuts through a lot of conversation, and it grounds a leadership team in reality and you may not like the fact pattern, but once you have it, then you can deal with it.

Certain statements contained in this communication regarding matters that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements (as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995). These include statements regarding management’s intentions, plans, beliefs, expectations or forecasts for the future including, without limitation, the proposed business combination with Wincor Nixdorf and the offer.

By their nature, forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties because they relate to events and depend on circumstances that may or may not occur in the future. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and actual results of operations, financial condition and liquidity, and the development of the industries in which Diebold and Wincor Nixdorf operate may differ materially from those made in or suggested by the forward-looking statements contained in this document. In addition, risks and uncertainties related to the contemplated business combination between Diebold and Wincor


Nixdorf include, but are not limited to, the expected timing and likelihood of the completion of the contemplated business combination, including the timing, receipt and terms and conditions of any required governmental and regulatory approvals of the contemplated business combination that could reduce anticipated benefits or cause the parties not to consummate, or to abandon the transaction, the ability to successfully integrate the businesses, the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the business combination agreement or the contemplated offer, the risk that the parties may not be willing or able to satisfy the conditions to the contemplated business combination or the contemplated offer in a timely manner or at all, risks related to disruption of management time from ongoing business operations due to the contemplated business combination, the risk that any announcements relating to the contemplated business combination could have adverse effects on the market price of Diebold’s common shares, and the risk that the contemplated transaction or the potential announcement of such transaction could have an adverse effect on the ability of Diebold to retain and hire key personnel and maintain relationships with its suppliers, and on its operating results and businesses generally. These risks, as well as other risks associated with the contemplated business combination, are more fully discussed in the prospectus that is attached as Annex 4 to the German offer document and has been filed with the SEC.
