Leadership
As a leader I believe in inspiring my team members to develop their skills as a team. Making sure the individual development goes hand in hand with the company's goals. Creativity is a team sport and psychological safety is the foundation.
To build a creative culture I work intensively with feedback as an important tool and encourage my team to take risks and dare to fail. We even have a ‘failabration’ fika to share our failures within the team and learn together. Without a team that dares to test new things and challenge the norm, there will be no creative solutions that push for the extraordinary.
But talking about leadership is one thing, practicing is so much more important. When I left my role as Executive Creative Director at PwC Experience Center, I received this in ordinary mail. Maybe this gives a better picture of what kind of leader I am accordingly to my team.
