Leadership
To lead make others better as a result of your presence
Leadership make them able to lead in your absence
Three leader challenges
#1 You are responsible for both driving and developing the business – in the short and long term
#2 You must create the conditions for you leader teams and employees to drive business – also when you are not present
#3 You need confidentiality to share thoughts, to develop and pressure test plans – and not least to develop yourself
My engagement
- is in 1:1 conversations, team sessions, workshops and training – online and face-to-face
- motivates you as a leader to be persistent, create results and anchor what we know works from practice and research
- is in full confidentiality and mutual trust
Prices

Why a sunflower?
“Heliotropism” - comes from Greek helios (sun) trope (turning)
The term is used in relation to plants, that turn towards the sun, like the sunflower
In organisational development heliotropism describes the principle that we often act in the present based on our believes about the future: the brighter the future the stronger the positive development will be – and vice versa
In other words, positive thoughts about the future often lead to positive actions in the present
