#02 Safe business management: What entrepreneurs can learn from motorsport

In episode #2 of our HIKS Leadership Special in cooperation with the IHK Chemnitz, Christian Underwood, Max Neukirchner and Eric Klose provide exciting insights into the world of motorcycle racing and safe business management. Max Neukirchner, the only German Superbike World Champion and winner of the 24 Hours of Le Mans on a motorcycle, and Eric Lose, an experienced mental coach and entrepreneur, share their experiences and show how parallels can be drawn between safe motorcycling and successful entrepreneurship. 


Parallels between racing and safe corporate management  

Max and Eric explain the importance of preparation and control in critical situations, both on the racetrack and in business. They present their "nine skills" that are essential for safe cornering and show how these skills can be transferred to running a business safely. These include steering techniques, seating posture, gaze control and, above all, self-confidence. 

The importance of preparation and control for safe corporate governance 

Without thorough preparation and control, both a motorcyclist and an entrepreneur can find themselves in difficult situations. Max and Eric emphasize that good preparation is key to running a business safely, whether it's taking a difficult turn or navigating through business challenges. Successful business management requires clear processes and well-thought-out strategies to minimize uncertainty.  

Nine skills for safe driving and safe business management  

The "nine skills" comprise various techniques and mental attitudes that are necessary for safe driving on the racetrack. These skills can be transferred perfectly to entrepreneurship: self-discipline, a sense of responsibility, systematic thinking and the ability to make clear decisions under pressure. 

Improve safety in motorcycling and business management  

Max and Eric offer specialized training aimed at increasing motorcycling safety while helping entrepreneurs strengthen their leadership skills. These hands-on approaches promote safe business management by teaching entrepreneurs how to minimize the risk of mistakes and operate successfully and safely over the long term. The combination of mental strength and strategic planning leads to greater safety in both motorsport and business.  

Conclusion: Secure corporate governance through discipline and preparation 

The episode illustrates how important it is to be disciplined and well prepared in both motorsport and business. With the right techniques and a well thought-out strategy, safe business management can be guaranteed.
