Yany was my session chair, and he took this job seriously. After (or before, I do not remember) everybody else had presented, he came up with an elaborated, brilliant summary of the three session talks. I thought: Wow, he could have let the session run and limited himself to calling out those who want to make comments. But he was so enthusiastic, waving his hands and making a lot of gestures to support his arguments. If somebody has so much fun doing his academic job, it must be a good one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Shortly later, Yany became one of the reviewers for my first publication in a high-ranking journal and gave me a hard time (I only realized later that it was him), but his comments were constructive, rather than destructive, and they helped me a lot to improve the paper and get it published (after a painful process, in which I learned a lot). Later, Yany became my co-author with other projects, and I got to know him as a committed, creative person and a great writer \u2013 anything you need for being an excellent scientist. And he is a proud father with a lovely wife. All in all, a warm and pleasant person. That&#8217;s why I forgive him for sometimes complaining that I am so &#8220;German&#8221; (I am afraid he means being organized and even a bit pushy while on a project). I cannot help it, Yany, but I thank you for everything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft size-thumbnail\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.servsig.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/katja-150x150.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10681\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.servsig.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/katja-150x150.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/www.servsig.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/katja.jpeg 160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Katja Gelbrich<br \/>Professor of International Management,<br \/>Catholic University Eichst\u00e4tt-Ingolstadt, Germany<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Guest article by Katja Gelbrich.
