Successful kick-off
In three workshops in 2019, the twenty- nine participants were introduced to the new tools that help them to become more visible leaders, create motivation by setting clear targets for work, handle conflicts and provide constructive feedback. Through intensive training in small groups and regular personal follow-up the individual participant gets a concrete result that can be transformed directly into daily manage- ment practice.
Mette Lock Carlsson had the role of coordi- nator at the kick-off seminar in April.
"I witnessed a team with great commitment and joy at being away together. We made heavy demands on them in terms of long days with various presentations and challenging exercises in which everyone took a very active part. They discovered new sides of themselves and their colleagues by training body lan- guage, tone of voice and non-verbal commu- nication, and on the way they certainly had some aha moments that may strengthen their personal impact."
In addition to the focus on personal lead- ership, the participants will receive sup- plementary training in client and market understanding.
Managing tomorrow's employees
At Plesner we do our utmost to train and develop tomorrow's employees. And that is why leadership is at the top of our agenda. It creates a healthy corporate culture and employees demand it – perhaps more than ever.
"The young generation of employees make new demands and have new expectations
to their leaders. A leadership style based on
a zero error culture and "no-news-are-good news" is outdated. Young people want to be involved and take responsibility and demand frequent and constructive feedback on both performance and learning. Our leadership training sets new tones in terms of how an employee may be long-lasting in a high perfor- mance environment," points out HR Manager Mette Lock Carlsson.
