The Culture of Leadership in Denmark and Sweden

Explore the essence of Nordic leadership - its trust, collaboration, and holistic approach - and discover what it means for internationals navigating Danish organisations during times of extreme change.

This talk explores the questions: What is Nordic leadership? What are its characteristics? What this may mean for an international in Denmark? And what is its relevance in times of extreme change? Chris Shern will provide these insights based on his co-authored book “Return of the Vikings – Nordic Leadership in Times of Extreme Change”. 

This talk will help you understand a Nordic Leadership style that is characterised by trust, collaboration and a holistic approach to leading organisations. Chris Shern will explore how this defines an organisational culture and what this may mean for an international working in a Danish organisation. 

His talk includes a wealth of personal experience from over 20 years working in Nordic organisations across 3 continents. This is combined with hundreds of hours of interviews with leaders from all types of organisations.
