Torben Deike - Product Manager
How was your path at Basler?
I found Basler through a recommendation. First, I did an internship during the semester break. This went so well that I supplemented my studies by working in Controlling as a working student. Then I also completed my Master’s degree and was able to work part-time.In Controlling, I ultimately found my focus in marketing controlling.
Today you work as Product Manager. How did this 180-degree change come about?
When I worked with Product Management, I noticed how exciting this area is for me. In Controlling, I dealt more with the past than with the future. After I completed my Master’s degree, I had the desire to use my skills more in the direction of design and future topics. In 2018, I used the opportunity to develop towards a Product Manager role. My broad company knowledge and analytical skills are in great demand here. I applied and Basler put its trust in me.
Was it easy for you to switch?
Of course, every change is initially outside of your comfort zone. It was the same when I switched. But I was well prepared for my role through numerous training courses and the strong support of the new team. The fact that I was assigned a coach from Product Management who can answer my questions at any time is also very valuable. At some point the pendulum swings, you notice how you grow every day. And then it's really fun :)

Silke Trojette - Group Leader Software Development
How was your path at Basler?
I started as a System Developer in July 2013. During this time, I handled product development and maintenance and supported our key accounts with development tasks. It was a great time, but at some point, I realized that I wanted to advance. In 2018, I used the opportunity to apply for a position in specialized group management in Software Development. Since then, I have reinforced the team in host software development and I pitch in as much as I can. :)
Even if you weren’t a junior anymore, this was certainly a whole new challenge for you. Did Basler prepare you for this?
Basler offers a 3-day management seminar where you can work with other new leaders to determine what kind of manager you want to be and how you make that happen. Afterwards there are always supervisions, which isn’t only great for the learning process but also for networking with each other.
What does good leadership mean to you?
A trusting relationship between employees and managers is extremely important. I always have an open ear for my team, regardless of whether it is a private or professional issue. It is essential to pay attention to the personal development of employees. It's important to me not to put any pressure on myself. Everyone in the team should be able to make decisions and work independently. Sometimes there are team members who are not doing well, which can sometimes affect the work.
How do you deal with that as a manager?
Open and trusting. No matter what it is, Basler reaches out to people and develops a solution that helps. When it comes to interpersonal issues, we managers act as advisors and mediators. If it is more of a personal matter, then in addition to the interview, additional solutions such as external advice or a part-time arrangement can also help.
