The Austrian worked closely with management professor Michael Smits last year. He was seen in episode 4 of the lecture series “Leadership in Extraordinary Times”. The topic he addressed was “Driven: How to Fuel Success through Adversity”, moderated by Smits. The discussion mainly focused on how sport has changed during the COVID-19 pandemic.
With a new set of rules, it felt like a whole different ball game. Adjusting to the new time is key and the episode was about that.
Wolff has also provided important insights into topics related to mental health and the dynamics of managing high-powered talent. He also discussed the challenges of reinventing organizations and industries for the future.
