Inspire your leadership,
empower your people

What's the direction of your team?
In times of turmoil and surprising events, our leadership resilience is tested. How we then act on challenges, affects the wellbeing of the entire organization. Empowering leadership for ourself and our team makes complexity easier to handle, uplifting collaboration and growth. 

Most leadership groups have forces that don't quite pull together, lowering group effectiveness. Creating a more level playing field, each leader can contribute and help co-create greater value. 

Higher functioning teams uplift cultural flow

Uplifting Your Sales Culture

MAN Scandinavia (busses and trucks), gave us the opportunity to help resolve the dissonance between sales and after-sales (Service department). In the mix of sale people's desires to provide great service to achieve repeat sales, and the service people trying to hold back to ensure profitability, together we found fresh ways to create greater harmony between everyones desires and the best for the company as well.

Your assistance helped me grow our sales team and organizational culture markedly.

The final report painted a bigger picture than expected, outlining how challenges and opportunities for our sales work could be handled while building an internal culture that supported sales activities and ensured a shift in mindset. It became a reference and live working document for a profitable and motivational future development of our company.

​Thank you!

Cutting to the Core

In a typical leadership group, some speak a ton while others are on-off or just quiet. A common thought inhibiting us from speaking our mind, is "I'm not an expert in this field". There's a better way. Facilitating decision making through the powerful Vistra Process, we open a richer field of communication, cutting to the core of the issues - to solve them.

Higher potentials can be reached by inspiring your people in novel ways. Which are yours? 

Solving Complexity

In this oil company there were old structures and ways, and new people coming in. For their core retail chain department, a new leader stumbled to begin with, but was brave enough to face what was needed to regain confidence lost. Luckily, she had the full backing of her boss in that choice. He wisely took part in the core workshop aimed at ensuring a resounding yes to moving on with current leadership. Not achieved in an easy way, or by circumventing truth, but by working right through realities as they were in the most authentic and sensitive way we knew. And we prepared that session for a month, filling in the missing pieces to understand the bigger picture needs and challenges. 
    As the work processed, we even got along some old structure guys in the end, which was beyond what was expected. This process was conducted right before their annual client event, where these 22 retail leaders would meet up with 400 client representatives at a carefully organized event. The conflict resolution was therefore paramount to "save the day", and the value of it in its timing and outcome, turned out to be priceless. Gratefulness on our end, to being part of the solution for such a turnkey business culture and leadership development.
Conflict resolution testimonial by Jon Sandnes:
I experienced Steinar Almelid as a facilitator for our top executive leadership group, where I especially appreciated his enthusiasm for growth and his truth-seeking ways. That work also revealed some issues in my division, especially on the relationship between my people and the gas station owners. I engaged him for that challenge, to mend the friction and to uplift leadership further.

To heal the depth of this conflict, the conversation in process would have to touch at a deep level. Thus, professional handling was paramount, and here, that included the sensitivity to respect personal boundaries and the integrity of everyone involved. 
My experience in working with Steinar is that he is expedite and energetic, delivering the services ­offered. The conflict ­resolution work for my ­retail chain leadership group was a demanding ­process, conducted with compassion, strength and dignity.
