Be a Leadership Team that Plays in Harmony
Talent-based development for leadership teams who want to scale impact by leveraging on each other’s strengths.
The Myth of the Perfect Leader is Costing You Performance
In most cases team are not working as teams. So, they are not leveraging the benefits of being in a team. But everyone is trying to be the best they can. No one is perfect. When leaders try to do and be everything on their own, what you can experience is:
- Disengagement
- Low energy and stress
- Challenges driving change
- Lost opportunities
- Reaction rather than action
- People leaving you
Instead of trying to be a perfect individual,
What If Your Team Could Lead Like an Ensemble?
No matter how great the individuals are. No team can leverage the benefits of teamwork without putting a conscious effort into:
- Understanding oneself and each other,
- working across differences, and
- creating constructive friction.

“I have worked with Josefine for 7 years. Recently Josefine & Gitte facilitated a workshop for my leadership team which we named “Managing Energy to Drive Change”. They did an amazing job not only facilitating the workshop but also preparing us in advance and following through afterwards to ensure that desired changes are truly anchored. I can strongly recommend Them.”
Henrik Ullum
CEO, Statens Serums Institut (SSI)
“The process with Josefine and Gitte gave us a new momentum of becoming one leadership team. Before we tented to fall into silo-thinking when collaborating but with their expertise we now have the tools and mindset for how to act like one team and collaborate with the entire Institutes’ interests and goals in mind. It has been a great learning and development experience that I would highly recommend.”

“The program with Campbell Co. gave both the team more energy and was the occasion for deeper reflections, which can be difficult to find time and peace for in a fast–paced everyday life. It was a relevant way to care for the employees – and they have with great commitment continued to take their goals into practice. Hence, our employees are now even more engaged.”

Cases; Tangible Impact for Real Teams
Case 1: From silos to Leading as a High Performance Team
Public Sector Leadership Team
- Outcome: Improved collaboration with enterprise thinking.
Situation: The team consist of individually brilliant leaders, which each their expertise. It is a very diverse and knowledgeable team. But the differences also cause challenges when taking decisions together.
Interviews with every leader in the team, and a 4-hour observation of team dynamics in a leadership team meeting, led to a solid data set that could be analyzed and discussed at the following workshop day, along with the clear recommendations. After lunch the team was facilitated to develop and decide on concrete actions to bring back and implement.
The change started the next day on their next team meeting, due to increased self-awareness, better understanding for each other and new meeting structures.
Case 2: Manage Personal Energy for Driving Change
Corporate Leadership Team
- Outcome: Lowering stress and creating momentum to drive change.
Situation: The team is a mature team that has received a lot if development throughout their carrier, but they are strained and work too many hours. It is hard to find the time and energy to drive the change that they need to drive now.
The program was launched at a virtual kick off. Each team member received a package with a tracker and monitored energy levels for one week, followed by an individual coaching session in confidentiality. At the 2-days off site the team was presented for anonymized team data to discuss and did a number of relevant exercises that the coaches used to elevate their thinking and understanding of own self when under pressure and during change. The elevated awareness led to commitment to concrete improvements to act on: an individual commitment and 3 organizational initiatives to manage personal energy to drive change. 3 months after there was another tracking, coaching sessions and a group check in.
At the 1.5-hour teams’ session, take aways and relevant results was shared. It was clear that the numbers had gone up and that each individual experienced improvement in personal energy that gave them momentum and motivation to drive change at the site.
Case 3: Strength-based Team Talent Development
Agency Leadership Team
- Outcome: Increased self-awareness to bring in talents into the teamwork.
Situation: The team is busy delivering day to day and rarely get a chance to collaborate and harness the strengths of the team strengths. They were so caught uo in day-to-day work and delivering to clients that they didn’t run the business together as a team.
On a kick-off meeting the leadership team of this agency was presented to what strength-based team development could do to them, and the process ahead. They were asked to identify what they liked to achieve.
Following everyone received a link to a talent test and received individual feedback in the test. Potential and strength where highlighted. Homework was to share one’s personal talent story.
At the following team workshop day everyone shared their talent story, in effect they learned a lot about what is important for each other, the team report was shared and unused penitential was highlighted. The afternoon was spent on designing more effective ways or working together as a team.
In effect, each leader can use their time, talents and energy much more effective, and the team is aware of crucial actions they need to take together weekly to perform at the next level.
