Gebhard Borck – Rethinking Business with Clarity, Responsibility and Impact
Gebhard Borck is one of the most provocative keynote speakers on modern leadership in the German-speaking world. For over 20 years, he has been guiding companies on their path to greater entrepreneurial freedom, real distribution of responsibility, and tangible economic impact – far removed from buzzwords and feel-good phrases.

Leadership that holds – beyond traditional business administration
As an entrepreneur, multiple book author, columnist and creator of the business mechanic “Misthos,” Gebhard Borck shows how companies can make decisions that have substance – and work economically. His keynotes inspire with practical relevance, depth and clear language.

Instead of imposing external concepts, Borck activates the entrepreneurial spirit from within: he sets responsibility in motion, generates momentum, and turns leadership into something that works – and is fun again.

Experience, substance & attitude – for companies with ambition
Gebhard Borck doesn’t know the challenges of SMEs and corporations from studies – but from real life. For over two decades, he has lived alternatives to traditional business administration and accompanies companies as they realign their leadership logic.

He is the author of several business books, a sought-after columnist, interview guest, and keynote speaker at B2B events, leadership conferences and strategy retreats. His impulses start where leadership actually happens – in the middle of everyday economic decision-making.

"With Gebhard Borck, I don’t talk about AI tools – I talk about what really matters: the role I play as a CFO in making our business model future-proof. He brings clarity to strategic questions where others only think in isolated solutions. The conversation with him was a top-level strategic check-in – not external consulting with its own agenda, but a genuine exchange at eye level. For anyone who doesn’t just want to react, but to lead."
Tobias Steinbacher, CFO, LUSINI Group GmbH

"What I used to consider time-consuming now runs smoothly – and much more successfully."
Peter Wassmuth, Managing Partner, TELEDATA IT-Lösungen GmbH

"One of Gebhard Borck’s key topics is 'self-effective business administration.' His greatest talent: recognizing disruptive patterns quickly and precisely."
WISSEN ist MACHT SPASS, Frankfurter Allgemeine Buch

"At the top stands one – rarely a woman – who has the final say and sets the direction. Those below carry it out. But in a working world that is being completely turned upside down, the command model is under pressure. Employees are demanding dialogue and discussion. In surveys, two-thirds are dissatisfied with authoritarian structures. They question the competence of their superiors. And even the leaders are struggling. Being the boss has become more difficult. So how about doing it completely without...?"
Christian Sievers, zdf heute journal

"In recent years, I’ve spent a lot of time reading 'management books.' By now, I had almost no motivation left to open another one – too often, the content repeats itself, throws around buzzwords, or tries to sell simple solutions for complex problems.
This one was different … and for the first time in ages, I devoured a book in two days – and actually enjoyed it."
