00:00:04.056 --> 00:00:06.056
Morning. - Morning. 

00:00:06.354 --> 00:00:08.354
How was last night? 

00:00:08.583 --> 00:00:12.175
Great. I went to bed soon after you did, I wanted to arrive here well rested today. 

00:00:12.479 --> 00:00:15.427
Well rested? Totally overrated. 

00:00:16.906 --> 00:00:18.451
And you? 

00:00:18.793 --> 00:00:25.038
Fine. I'm excited. It's finally time for a woman at the top. 

00:00:25.342 --> 00:00:28.100
Absolutely. - See you in a minute.
 

00:00:31.400 --> 00:00:33.400
Steffi, wait a minute. Wait a minute.

00:00:34.046 --> 00:00:35.717
Yes?

00:00:35.717 --> 00:00:38.720
 I think it's a good idea that we meet beforehand, so we can coordinate. 

00:00:38.720 --> 00:00:40.720
Okay.

00:00:43.990 --> 00:00:51.372
Martin suggested yesterday evening... Dr. Voss suggested yesterday evening that I run as the second candidate to succeed him. 

00:00:53.381 --> 00:01:04.955
Martin ... And, what do you think about that?

00:01:08.853 --> 00:01:11.157
I think he has a point. - What point? 

00:01:11.821 --> 00:01:13.821
Our clients are changing. 

00:01:14.577 --> 00:01:19.008
If we want to stay at the top, we need to be attractive to start-ups and scale-ups in particular. 

00:01:19.388 --> 00:01:20.628
And? 

00:01:20.628 --> 00:01:25.363
IT law, blockchain, there's a lot going on in those areas right now, 

00:01:25.363 --> 00:01:27.363
but they're not your core areas of expertise.

00:01:30.000 --> 00:01:35.343
Listen. Without me, the firm wouldn't be where it is today. 

00:01:35.343 --> 00:01:37.138
And neither would you, for that matter. 

00:01:37.138 --> 00:01:40.047
I built you up, against the resistance of some people here. 

00:01:40.699 --> 00:01:42.926
Maybe you should remember how you started here. 

00:01:42.926 --> 00:01:44.926
You know, Steffi, that's the other thing. 

00:01:44.926 --> 00:01:46.926
Your way of communicating is completely out of date. 

00:01:47.344 --> 00:01:48.359
Success is what counts. 

00:01:48.359 --> 00:01:51.609
And in the coming years, that will depend largely on the corporate culture. 

00:01:51.609 --> 00:01:54.633
And stabbing me in the back like that five minutes before the meeting 

00:01:54.633 --> 00:01:56.708
will also be part of the corporate culture in future. 

00:01:56.708 --> 00:01:59.848
I'm not stabbing you in the back, I'm the only one telling you how things really are. 

00:02:00.152 --> 00:02:02.152
But you're only ever concerned about your own career.
 

00:02:04.659 --> 00:02:08.027
So, are you going to offer yourself as a candidate?

00:02:12.814 --> 00:02:14.814
The meeting is about to start.
