EDITORIAL 2/2020 Business Spotlight 3

V

isting New York for the first time is an

unforgettable experience. There it is, the city

that you have seen so often in films and on

television. But now, it’s right in front of your

eyes, and you can see, hear, feel and smell

the dynamism of this unique metropolis.

Many people, myself included, enjoy visit­

ing New York from time to time, but wouldn’t ne­

cessarily want to live there. So, what is it really like

to live and work in the Big Apple, and how does it

compare to life in Germany? That is the focus of

our special report, in which we hear from two New

Yorkers who have worked in both places, and about

an Englishman who went to New York in the 1980s

and made a success of his soccer coaching business.

Our New York feature begins on page 14.

Over the past nine issues, Bob Dignen has looked

at many aspects of leadership, including the chal­

lenges of managing change, taking decisions, mo­

tivating team members, working across cultures,

building trust and leading ethically. In this issue,

we provide a test on all the topics covered in our

leadership series (pp. 36–45). Find out how much

you know about being an effective leader.

We have been saddened to learn of the deaths

of two dear friends and colleagues: Claudine

Weber­Hof, deputy editor of our sister magazine,

Spotlight, and Nick Brieger, a former technical Eng­

lish columist for Business Spotlight. You’ll find our

tributes to Claudine and Nick on page 82.
