Joseph Walker, glob\u00e1ln\u00ed technologick\u00fd \u0159editel pro materi\u00e1ly a laborato\u0159e spole\u010dnosti Freudenberg Sealing Technologies v Plymouthu (USA), pracuje ve spole\u010dnosti t\u00e9m\u011b\u0159 25 let a vybudoval si pov\u011bst dynamick\u00e9ho l\u00eddra a znalce. Zat\u00edmco Walker odejde na konci b\u0159ezna 2023 do zaslou\u017een\u00e9ho d\u016fchodu, jeho n\u00e1stupce Ryan Fleming douf\u00e1, \u017ee se mu poda\u0159\u00ed udr\u017eet vysokou la\u0165ku nastavenou Joem. <\/p>\n\n

Joseph Walker nastoupil do spole\u010dnosti Freudenberg v roce 1998, kde byl zodpov\u011bdn\u00fd za v\u00fdvoj specifick\u00fdch aplika\u010dn\u00edch materi\u00e1l\u016f pro n\u011bkolik segment\u016f trhu, vyvinul nov\u00fd syst\u00e9m sledov\u00e1n\u00ed pro laborato\u0159e a vedl t\u00fdm specialist\u016f analyzuj\u00edc\u00edch pry\u017e, \u00farove\u0148 vytvrzen\u00ed a chemii povrchu.<\/p>\n\n

Walker je dlouholet\u00fdm pravideln\u00fdm p\u0159edn\u00e1\u0161ej\u00edc\u00edm o p\u0159\u00edle\u017eitostech a v\u00fdzv\u00e1ch, kter\u00fdm gum\u00e1rensk\u00fd pr\u016fmysl \u010del\u00ed, je \u010dlenem mnoha pr\u016fmyslov\u00fdch organizac\u00ed a dr\u017eitelem 23 patent\u016f – mimo jin\u00e9 v oblasti materi\u00e1l\u016f, aplikac\u00ed a proces\u016f.<\/p>\n\n

„Podpora ze strany veden\u00ed spole\u010dnosti Freudenberg byla po celou dobu m\u00e9ho p\u016fsoben\u00ed p\u016fsobiv\u00e1,“ \u0159\u00edk\u00e1. „D\u00edky volnosti, kterou jsem dostal, jsem mohl vytvo\u0159it skute\u010dn\u00e9 servisn\u00ed centrum s laborato\u0159emi pro technologie a inovace zde v Plymouthu, kter\u00e9 pat\u0159\u00ed k nejlep\u0161\u00edm ve sv\u00e9 t\u0159\u00edd\u011b i v oboru!“ Mohl nav\u0161t\u011bvovat pracovi\u0161t\u011b a pracovat s lidmi, kter\u00e9 by jinak nikdy nepotkal. „Nav\u00e1zal jsem n\u011bkolik velmi bl\u00edzk\u00fdch, osobn\u00edch p\u0159\u00e1telstv\u00ed, kter\u00e1 mi vydr\u017e\u00ed i po odchodu do d\u016fchodu,“ dod\u00e1v\u00e1 Walker. <\/p>\n\n

„Spr\u00e1vn\u00e1 osoba, kter\u00e1 p\u0159evezme veden\u00ed“<\/h2>\n\n

Jeho n\u00e1stupcem se stane Ryan Fleming, kter\u00fd nastoupil do spole\u010dnosti Freudenberg v roce 2010 jako chemik a vystudoval materi\u00e1lovou v\u011bdu a in\u017een\u00fdrstv\u00ed. V uplynul\u00fdch dvou letech \u00fazce spolupracoval s Joem Walkerem, aby se dlouhodob\u011b p\u0159ipravil na svou novou roli. „B\u011bhem uplynul\u00fdch dvan\u00e1cti let jsem sledoval jeho profesn\u00ed rozvoj, nejprve jako vedouc\u00edho skupiny, pot\u00e9 jako vedouc\u00edho t\u00fdmu a nakonec jako vedouc\u00edho provozu,“ \u0159\u00edk\u00e1 Walker. „Postupem \u010dasu jsem vid\u011bl, jak se z n\u011bj stala osoba, na kterou se zam\u011bstnanci obracej\u00ed s dotazy. A bylo jasn\u00e9, \u017ee je tou spr\u00e1vnou osobou, kter\u00e1 by m\u011bla p\u0159evz\u00edt veden\u00ed. M\u00e1 vynikaj\u00edc\u00ed technick\u00e9 dovednosti, nav\u00e1zal \u00fazk\u00e9 vztahy s na\u0161imi extern\u00edmi i intern\u00edmi z\u00e1kazn\u00edky a m\u00e1 velmi vysokou \u00farove\u0148 integrity a s\u00edlu charakteru.“ <\/p>\n\n

I kdy\u017e tak v\u00fdrazn\u00e1 osobnost zanech\u00e1v\u00e1 velk\u00e9 stopy, Fleming je p\u0159esv\u011bd\u010den, \u017ee Walker ho na tuto roli velmi dob\u0159e p\u0159ipravil.<\/p>\n\n

„Joe byl po l\u00e9ta skv\u011bl\u00fdm mentorem. Jeho obrovsk\u00e9 zku\u0161enosti a znalosti gum\u00e1rensk\u00e9ho pr\u016fmyslu a chemie obecn\u011b jsou neuv\u011b\u0159iteln\u00e9 a bylo pro m\u011b obrovsk\u00fdm p\u0159\u00ednosem, \u017ee jsem z nich mohl t\u011b\u017eit,“ \u0159ekl Fleming. „Kdykoli jsem se ocitl v obt\u00ed\u017en\u00e9 situaci, Joe tu byl a byl p\u0159ipraven pomoci. V\u017edy jsem si v\u00e1\u017eil jeho v\u016fd\u010d\u00edch schopnost\u00ed. Je ale tak\u00e9 dobr\u00fdm poslucha\u010dem a pomohl mi rozvinout se v r\u016fzn\u00fdch oblastech.“ <\/p>\n\n

„Joe polo\u017eil z\u00e1klady laborato\u0159\u00ed pro technologie a inovace (T&I),“ dod\u00e1v\u00e1 Fleming. „D\u00edky tomuto pevn\u00e9mu z\u00e1kladu se laborato\u0159\u00edm T&I v pr\u016fb\u011bhu let da\u0159ilo. Joe zanechal v oboru svou stopu a j\u00e1 jsem vd\u011b\u010dn\u00fd za \u010das, kter\u00fd jsem s n\u00edm str\u00e1vil.“ <\/p>\n\n

V\u00fdhled do budoucna<\/h2>\n\n

P\u0159i pohledu do budoucnosti laborato\u0159\u00ed a pr\u016fmyslu se Fleming domn\u00edv\u00e1, \u017ee mnoh\u00e9 v\u00fdzvy v oblasti elektromobility, energetiky, spr\u00e1vy dat, logistiky a souvisej\u00edc\u00edch p\u0159edpis\u016f nab\u00edzej\u00ed p\u0159\u00edle\u017eitost k p\u0159ezkoum\u00e1n\u00ed st\u00e1vaj\u00edc\u00edch proces\u016f, nalezen\u00ed potenci\u00e1lu ke zlep\u0161en\u00ed a v\u00fdvoji nov\u00fdch \u0159e\u0161en\u00ed.<\/p>\n\n

„Je to vzru\u0161uj\u00edc\u00ed doba, kdy se uj\u00edm\u00e1me t\u00e9to role,“ \u0159\u00edk\u00e1. „Ve sv\u011bt\u011b doch\u00e1z\u00ed k mnoha zm\u011bn\u00e1m, pokud jde o nov\u00e9 technologie a udr\u017eitelnost. Spole\u010dnost Freudenberg m\u00e1 dobrou pozici k tomu, aby se t\u011bmito zm\u011bnami zab\u00fdvala. T\u011b\u0161\u00edm se na spolupr\u00e1ci s ostatn\u00edmi obchodn\u00edmi jednotkami, abychom splnili nov\u00e9 pot\u0159eby z\u00e1kazn\u00edk\u016f a udr\u017eeli spole\u010dnost Freudenberg na \u0161pici.“ <\/p>\n\n

Stejn\u00e9ho n\u00e1zoru je i Walker. Domn\u00edv\u00e1 se, \u017ee laborato\u0159e maj\u00ed velk\u00fd potenci\u00e1l, proto\u017ee odv\u011btv\u00ed se st\u00e1le vyv\u00edj\u00ed. „Byl bych r\u00e1d, kdyby Ryan posunul laborato\u0159 na dal\u0161\u00ed digit\u00e1ln\u00ed \u00farove\u0148 a nad\u00e1le roz\u0161i\u0159oval na\u0161e mo\u017enosti prost\u0159ednictv\u00edm pokro\u010dil\u00fdch anal\u00fdz a mo\u017enost\u00ed. Je d\u016fle\u017eit\u00e9, aby se na\u0161e materi\u00e1lov\u00e9 technologie – nejen tradi\u010dn\u00ed gum\u00e1rensk\u00e9 a plastov\u00e9 technologie – vyv\u00edjely, proto\u017ee na\u0161ich tradi\u010dn\u00edch trh\u016f za\u010d\u00edn\u00e1 ub\u00fdvat a do pop\u0159ed\u00ed z\u00e1jmu se dost\u00e1v\u00e1 elektromobilita,“ vysv\u011btluje Walker. <\/p>\n\n

„Na\u0161e materi\u00e1lov\u00e9 a technick\u00e9 znalosti jsou uzn\u00e1v\u00e1ny a cen\u011bny nejen intern\u011b, ale tak\u00e9 na\u0161imi z\u00e1kazn\u00edky a dal\u0161\u00edmi spole\u010dnostmi,“ dod\u00e1v\u00e1 Fleming. „To se odr\u00e1\u017e\u00ed v mno\u017estv\u00ed lid\u00ed, kte\u0159\u00ed se na n\u00e1s obracej\u00ed s dotazy, po\u017eadavky nebo probl\u00e9my. A\u0165 u\u017e se jedn\u00e1 o formulaci nov\u00e9ho spojen\u00ed, pokro\u010dil\u00e9 testov\u00e1n\u00ed, anal\u00fdzu dat, \u0159e\u0161en\u00ed probl\u00e9m\u016f nebo pomoc z\u00e1kazn\u00edkovi: V\u011bd\u00ed, \u017ee spolupracuj\u00ed s t\u011bmi nejlep\u0161\u00edmi, kter\u00e9 toto odv\u011btv\u00ed nab\u00edz\u00ed.“ <\/p>\n\n

P\u0159esto\u017ee se bl\u00ed\u017e\u00ed jeho odchod do d\u016fchodu, Walker se nehodl\u00e1 dr\u017eet zp\u00e1tky. Krom\u011b v\u00fduky na v\u00fdznamn\u00e9 univerzit\u011b bude pracovat tak\u00e9 pro dv\u011b pr\u016fmyslov\u00e9 asociace, mimo jin\u00e9 jako vedouc\u00ed nov\u00e9 vzd\u011bl\u00e1vac\u00ed akademie Asociace v\u00fdrobc\u016f pry\u017eov\u00fdch v\u00fdrobk\u016f (APRM), kter\u00e1 bude vyu\u010dovat z\u00e1kladn\u00ed a pokro\u010dil\u00e1 t\u00e9mata pro gum\u00e1rensk\u00fd pr\u016fmysl.
