With AI tools, one person does in an afternoon what used to take a team several days or weeks. I have been reflecting on what we actually cannot hand over – and what becomes the leader’s job as the tools do more and more of the work.
Finding the right leaders, and developing those who already lead. To me, these are two sides of the same coin. That is why I am now adding executive recruitment to my services, in collaboration with Kjell Strøm and Fair Assess.
When I stepped down in May, I expected things to go quiet. Instead came conversations that made me see my experience differently – and led me to start my own company.
A strategic choice is rarely a revolution, and the process does not need to be large. Why I have led strategy work myself in recent years – and how I intend to work now that I am on the other side of the table.
In a small management team there is no one to step in when someone leaves or a new need arises. That is the role I want to take – as a colleague in the team, for as long as it takes to get the right person in place.
