Welcome to the Leadership Development Program in Kolonial.no, in partnership with GetHUMAN

 

Leadership Development  (background and excerpt from internal document Kolonial.no)

• Scaling our organization and at the same time keeping our people highly engaged requires strong leadership on all levels.
• With a larger and more complex organization a strong leadership evolution is necessary to improve how one think, feel, act and lead in complex situations.
• GetHuman was chosen after an extensive process as our partner for a Leadership Development program at Lørenskog warehouse. Finding someone that we believed would be the right people for leadership development in all parts of Kolonial.no was important. They stood out among all the vendors, by representing something new with a more personal inside-out approach to leadership development. After seing how the engagement, and especially the “Management Support” driver has increased during the first period of the program, we belive that these guys might be who we need to strengthen our leadership in Nydalen as well.

Some leadership challenges

Additional information from Anders & Johan/GetHUMAN

• This leadership development program is designed to create substantial (not incremental) development and improvement in both performance and happiness. We both hope and expect that you will experience this long term journey as challenging and meaningful.
• This information document will provide basic information about the program. If you have detailed questions please call Anders (48231331) to make sure that you have the information you need. Questions are welcome in our first meeting.
• This program will likely have an attendee waiting list, so make sure you are fully dedicated to participating and contributing in this leadership journey. One way to find out more about your dedication is to look at the leadership questions below – do they challenge you? Do you get access to your curiosity? Do you see exciting possibilities?

Some key points

• Unless other information is given, we will meet monthly at Sentralen in down town Oslo (Øvre Slottsgate 3), (aprx. from 9.30am-3.30pm).
• The program starts with two individual converstions with Anders and Johan. In addition to you getting more information, we also expect that these conversations will be very valuable in your continuous development as leader and human being.
• In addition to being a leadership development program we also consider this to be an important improvement arena for Kolonial.no and we look forward to joining you all in building Kolonial.no.

Some expectations

• There is a good chance of new leaders coming on board during the program. There is an expecation that all of the current attendees will take on the role as both “mentors” and “equals” by sharing experiences and contributing to a sense of trust, which is essential for learning to happen.
• This program is highly experimental (and dialogue based) and is based in a large degree on your experiences in between our program days / meeting points. Personal experiences, hardships and missteps are just as welcome as successes because together we are searching for what we can learn rather than “who’s the best” or “who got it right”. In leadership and culture there is seldom “the only right way”, but rather several great and personal ways to lead in a good way.
• There is an expectation of practicing, training and reflecting in between program days. The quality of our time together depend on the quality of your awareness of your development. We will have a strong focus on reflection and contemplation and you will get a journaling note book for your own notes. This, together with resources available on gethuman.no/klab and the experiences in the group meetings are the curriculum of this program.
• There is an expectation that you will reflect and train closely with a “commitment partner”, which will be a colleague from your group. These duo´s/partnerships will be established on our first group day.
• In the individual conversations with GetHUMAN all reflections, thoughts and feelings are welcome. Each participant is welcomed to co-design the personal aspects of the conversation and “you call the shots”.
• We look forward to getting to know you and we highly value you previous experience (being a good leader already and becoming a better leader). We hope and expect that you will bring in both your strengths and “weaknesses” into this program.
• During phase 1 of KLab (from the time you read this) you will need to reflect around the following Leadership questions:
  • Why do I want to be a leader?
  • What is it about people and humans that make me want to be a leader?
  • What’s in it for me personally by developing myself as a leader?
  • What are some strengths that I am proud of?
