In-depth insights into management: Experience report of two Work4Germany fellows
Lisa Schiemann and Christian Müller were fellows at Work4Germany in 2022. Here they talk up close about their personal experiences during the six-month fellowship and their time in a federal ministry. What questions did they ask themselves at the beginning? What is everyday working life like as a Fellow in the administration? And where were they able to bring about change?
Christian Müller
has been Program Lead Work4Germany at DigitalService since November 2023. In 2022, he took part in the six-month fellowship as a fellow and subsequently worked as a Transformation Facilitator and Agile Coach with executives and teams at the Federal Ministry of Finance. After studying history, he worked in the communications field before becoming a leader and team developer himself for projects around energy transition and climate protection. He has a soft spot for co-creation, skill sharing and strengthening feedback and conflict skills in teams. Christian loves to connect people. Besides his job, his family, traveling, history (he is a soccer historian) as well as music (and dancing) are important in his life.
