“My entrepreneurship is driven by a strong vision to contribute to the change of society, focusing on creating workplaces that works for people and take out the best in them.”
Studying marketing in my twenties I got interested in a leadership-styles that is not founded by hierarchical principles.
I read books by Ricardo Semler and became inspired by these ideas. In 1999 I got the opportunity to try the ideas in practice.
Astonished by the power and capacity that arised in the co-workers, I saw how effective this way of working is and what incredible results that comes out of it.
Several businesses in deep financial troubles could be turned around in a very short time, by this way of leading and organising.
I founded a company – Tuff Leadership Training – to provide training in the skills needed to succeed for managers who wanted to lead in a more co-worker involving way.
But that was not enough to change our mutual “stuckness” in hierarchical organising.
To produce more material of evidence I started to aquire and build more businesses in different sectors, run in an employee-driven way.
