HOW IT WORKS

Jon Erik Haug’s Executive Leadership Advisory is grounded in trust, close collaboration, and real-world leadership. His advisory mainly concerns three themes:

  • Navigating Complexity as a leader

  • Creating a High-Performing Team

  • Driving Organizational Change and Transformation

  • NAVIGATING COMPLEXITY AS A LEADER

    We help leaders maneuver the complexities of leadership with confidence. Whether it's solving problems, initiating tough conversations, or managing change, we provide the support leaders need to navigate their challenges effectively.

    Together, we delve into situations you encounter in your everyday life as a leader..

    In what situations do you ask for help?

    We create clarity in your priorities: What is important, what gives impact and where do we go from here?

    What tools, systems and frameworks may help you manoeuvre different leadership situations with confidence?

  • CREATING A HIGH-PERFORMING TEAM

    Improving as a leader does not always improve the overall team performance. However, by involving your team in the process, you ensure that the whole team get clarity, buy in and attention to results.

    This way, you establish trust with the team, allowing you to enter demanding discussions, share issues, challenge each other and give feedback.

    By evolving and developing together, the team take joint responsibility for the business, acting and appearing coherent and unified.

  • DRIVING ORGANIZATIONAL CHANGE AND TRANSFORMATION

    Success in executing strategy requires an organization that is built to deliver. We partner with leaders to tailor transformation efforts that align the structure, people, and processes with strategic goals, and we enable organizations to move with agility and purpose.

    By taking a structured yet flexible approach, we help leaders create organizations that are fit for the future—ready to execute strategy with precision and adaptability.
