Interview with Thomas Bäumer Thomas Bäumer has pursued a whole range of opportunities in his professional and personal life. But the 59-year-old has always retained a close connection to his home town of Münster. Having originally trained as a plumber, he has enjoyed a diverse career that has seen him become a committee member of the Confederation of German Employers’ Associations. Today he is CEO of Germany’s leading network of dental practitioners. Thomas Bäumer has been a member of the ORS Advisory Board since 2020. What motivated you to join the ORS Advisory Board? ORS’s work centres around people and ensuring that they are cared for, supported and integrated with dignity. Integration is a key issue. I am able to bring my expertise as a representative of industry to a professional body that features high-profile representatives of the world of national and international politics. What is your life/leadership/work motto? Take whatever you can! What I mean by that is always make the most of any possibility and potential and, at the same time, use them wisely. As a manager, I believe that trust needs to play a key role. If you want to be successful, you need to know how to let go of the reins a little, delegate responsibility and the authority to make decisions. In short: clear leadership with invisible reins. My work motto is: Leave room for creativity. I leave 30% of my time unscheduled. Because creative thoughts and ideas need scope to unfold. What do you advise people when it comes to planning a career/acting on opportunities? You can’t wait for opportunities to be presented to you on a silver platter. In order to spot them and act on them, you need to be alert and to identify strongly with the profession and the business. At the end of the day, in your career it’s just like it is in life – you can’t plan everything. Chance, luck and the timing should not be underestimated. In many respects, 2021 was a special year. What were your main preoccupations at work this year? The COVID-19 crisis forced the world of work to evolve. Digitalisation has advanced rapidly and working from home, digital conferencing and online meetings are now central to our day-to-day routines. During the crisis, we acted on the available opportunities. So far the German economy has made it through the crisis in a strong position. I wasn’t expecting that. I wasn’t expecting that at the start of the pandemic. Despite the challenges, we were able to continue our growth trajectory at Colosseum Dental Germany. I hope that we will not be so preoccupied with COVID-19 in the second half of 2022. I am optimistic about the future and believe that the medical and pharmaceutical sectors will soon continue to grow rapidly, creating the ideal conditions for bringing an end to the pandemic. 47
