The special features of Finnish leadership ?

A competitive advantage?

”By the way,

of all the national leadership styles I`ve studied,

the Finnish is one I admire very much.

The Finns have this

element of democracy

and a strong belief that working hard

makes things happen.

The Finns also have a straightforward,

plain honesty, which is very good in a leader”.

Manfred F.R. Kets de Vries,

Harvard Business Review, 2004


Jorma Ollila (Earlier CEO of Nokia and present Chairman of Shell)

“Finnishness works!Honesty,reliability, fairness,

directness and respect for others, together with the will to achieveresults, are the cornerstones of

my own philosophy of how to lead.

I am proud to be able to acknowledge that the spiritual core at the source of these values is in

my own country’s basic values and roots.”

These kinds of values fit modern knowledge-based organizations very well!
