LEADERSHIP IMPACT

Where does your strategy translate into action — and where does it not?

Owners’ ambitions, board-level choices, executive decisions and people’s everyday work are all connected. We identify where those connections need strengthening.

One direction. Distinct responsibilities. Measurable impact.

Kojamo

STARTING POINT

After a major strategic renewal, employees’ experiences of people management and leadership varied too much. There was a clear need for a more consistent leadership culture.

CHANGE

Johtamisen Portaat™ and the management training that followed made the intended leadership culture concrete and brought shared practices into everyday work.

IMPACT

The tools learnt in the coaching remain in everyday use. People management received the strongest ratings in the annual employee survey for two consecutive years.

Fluido group

STARTING POINT

An employee survey showed that the strategy was unclear to employees, even though the strategy documents already existed.

CHANGE

The executive team distilled the strategy into five strategic choices and used them to create a clear framework for decisions, communication and objectives.

IMPACT

Individual KPI objectives became easier to define clearly, teams know what to focus on and everyone’s work is directed towards a shared goal.

ABO Energy

STARTING POINT

Rapid growth was putting pressure on the CEO, while the steering group’s work focused on reporting rather than looking ahead.

CHANGE

The steering group’s way of working and managers’ roles were clarified. The work was divided between an operational and a strategic steering group.

IMPACT

According to the client, the steering group’s work improved significantly. Meetings now look ahead and save time.

A leader’s time to think: who sets the direction if you have no time to reflect?

A leader must respond to what demands attention and notice what nobody is asking yet. Protected time for thinking, examining one’s own reasoning and recovering belongs within leadership work, rather than becoming an extra task afterwards.

When is the right time to grow?

You can postpone a development programme until the next budget. Opportunities to grow, however, arise in today’s situations. That is why a learning culture cannot be built on training days alone.

Pay transparency does not threaten your pay system. It threatens poor leadership.

Pay transparency reveals far more than pay differences. It exposes how consistently an organisation defines responsibilities, assesses performance and explains reward decisions. That makes it a test of leadership quality.

An executive team’s busyness may be a result of how it works

An executive team can be so busy resolving the organisation’s problems that it has no time to notice its own part in creating them. What if some of the pressure arises from how the team itself works?
