Leadership is either your organization’s biggest obstacle or enabler. Our management and leadership development programs and trainings elevate your organization’s leadership models and abilities to the desired level. Investments in leadership development have a considerable ROI.
However, depending on the study, 50 – 85% of managers feel that they have insufficient leadership skills.
The manager’s pressures and frustrations decrease as their capabilities increase. Experiences of success and achievement are created instead. A competent and capable manager also increases the well-being of the whole workplace community.
Better leadership skills strengthen the productivity of both employees and leaders. The focus shifts from friction to productive activity. At the same time, your company’s recruitment pressure will decrease.
High-quality management work and leadership increases team spirit and directs competent people towards common goals. The workplace community becomes more united and stronger!
A manager struggling with difficulties is more likely to resign. In addition, his actions affect employee engagement. Experiencing poor leadership is the most common reason for changing jobs.
Lifted’s leadership training is based on the framework of sustainable leadership and at its core are successful, capable, and skilled management teams, leaders, and managers.
The management team is responsible for the culture and quality of management work, which both consciously and unconsciously determines the level of the whole organization’s leadership.
Leadership principles and operating models based on strategy and values are planned, agreed, and documented together with the management team and leaders.
The development of managers’ and leaders’ self-awareness is the basis for building and developing sustainable, high-quality, and interactive leadership and management skills.
The basis of good leadership is self-awareness, recognizing one’s own strengths and areas for development. A successful manager and leader implements the organization’s common values and strategy, as well as the common leadership principles and operating models.
Our coaches are highly educated, experienced, and inspiring leadership experts. As coaching professionals, they know how to support the implementation of leadership principles, operating models, and skills into daily operations in the best possible way in different organizations and situations.
Deep understanding of how workplace communities, groups, and individuals function successfully
Solid experience and understanding in business and realities of working life
Versatile training, coaching, and facilitation skills combined with pedagogical expertise
We start the cooperation with you with a kick-off meeting, mapping, and goal-setting.
If necessary, we support the initial assessment with surveys, interviews, and orienting pre-work.
We utilize the methods and tools that match best with your goals in order to maximize the effectiveness of the program.
To implement the common principles, operating models, and lessons learned we additionally utilize, for example, various exercises, work-life experiments, and coaching.
We evaluate the effectiveness of the training several times, both during and after the program.
In workshops and lectures, we create a common understanding of the core topics of leadership, encourage change, and develop skills in an inspiring and concrete way. Our way of working is interactive. Events are held both onsite and remotely, in English and in Finnish.
Our experienced and certified coaches help managers individually. In coaching, we dive deeper into the challenges and opportunities of leadership work and personal development. Coaching provides excellent concrete support for the long-term development in leadership and overcoming individual challenges.
We use proven analysis methods such as Workplace Big Five, DiSC, and Peili to understand personality as well as behavior and to improve self-awareness. The methods also work well in developing the fluency of management team work and teamwork in general.
Transferring new knowledge and skills into practice is guided in a supported manner between the joint events in order to achieve the desired change. Experiences from worklife are reflected on both independently and collectively
The target culture and leadership model are described by jointly prepared leadership principles and leadership promises. The necessary practical instructions and documents for the management (such as annual calendars, task descriptions, and meeting practices) can be produced together.
If necessary, management and leadership models, leaders’s operating instructions or descriptions, and stories supporting the target culture can be compiled into guides. Workbooks are used in training programs, for example, as planning and monitoring tools for personal development and as an aid in reflection.
In group coaching and case clinics, challenging and essential issues of working life and the workplace community can be treated constructively under the guidance of an experienced coach. The participants support each other and strengthen the important peer support network of the organization. An experienced facilitator always guides the group towards a solution.
We use surveys, interviews, and other research methods to support development. Effectiveness is measured and also boosted with surveys and metrics based on the starting points of the business and the goals of the program.
In a virtual learning platform, the information, support, and inspiration are available when there is a need and time for them. Coaches are available for interactive coaching. The learning platform combines the elements as a concise program.
What psychological safety means in practice
How to assess psychological safety
How can a leader develop psychological safety in the workplace
Tools for having conversations that increase psychological safety
The key prerequisite of every workplace community and functioning team is psychological safety – the shared experience that it is possible to take risks without fear of being questioned or laughed at.
When realized, psychological safety enables everything that we as an organization strive for together. On the other hand, when there is no psychological security, achieving common goals can become surprisingly difficult.
A leader plays a special role in building psychological safety and trust. The person in charge can influence the level of psychological safety with their communication and actions, for better or for worse.

Principles of comprehensive listening, feedback giving, and interacting
How to build an atmosphere of openness, trust, and respect
Ways to understand and manage diverse team
Interaction is an important leadership skill that can be practiced and learned. As a manager, it is frustrating to end up in situations where misunderstandings or misinterpretations hinder collective success.
As leaders, the key to success is to reflect our own communication and behaviour – often our readiness to understand or utilize differences and people’s individual strengths is critical. Good interaction is based on presence, listening, open questions and giving and receiving feedback, as well as valuing and utilizing differences. Open and honest communication is at the heart of a well functioning organization.

To analyze the remote and hybrid work capability of the organization and to find the most important development targets
The role of the workplace community and each team member in creating effective practices at the interface between remote work and face-to-face work
Best practices for managing well-being and creative and efficient hybrid work
Hybrid work has brought new ways of working to many organizations. The new way of working creates both opportunities and challenges. It is worth setting aside time for the planning and improvement of hybrid work periodically. It is beneficial to discuss and optimize, for example, when working face-to-face is important and when, on the other hand, the benefits of remote work can best be used.
Combining in person and remote work requires a lot from the leadership. That is why it is important to define common practices, combinations of remote work and face-to-face work, and effective communication channels for each task.

The basic pillars of acting as a leader in change
To understand the changes, their requirements and opportunities from the perspective of the individual and the community
Effective tools and models that support success in changes
To strengthen own and the team’s resilience in change
To communicate in change and to work with your team’s response to change successfully
Change management is one of the most important management skills. Without this expertise, changes will fail, the manager and the team will be overburdened and/or deadlines and budgets will be exceeded. A skilled change leader succeeds with one’s team both in an ever-changing operating environment and in various change projects.
A successful change requires a common understanding of the direction, building a conversational working culture together, and careful implementation based on these. You can also prepare for the response to change in different ways in advance.

CASE: Fluido
”The training program was not only passive lectures, it offered us concrete tools to support our daily leadership that have been taken into use effectively. I have especially appreciated the substance of provided tools, procedures and team work assignments.
Lifted team understands well what we need – the co-operation has worked very well with them. They are genuinely interested in what our people need in order to develop. Lifted provides also support for organizing and communicating the training program which has been especially useful for us in HR. They did not come to us with a ready package but acted genuinely as partners and tailored the training to meet our needs.”

CASE: Qvik
“The principles of leadership have significantly clarified the work of supervisors and supported the work of Team Leads at Qvik. The results of coaching leadership have materialized, for example, in one-to-one discussions between Team Leads and team members. Team Leads are able to challenge appropriately and ask high-quality and relevant questions.
Through the training, Team Leads have formed a network that supports and helps each other. Coaching leadership and a coaching culture are desired to be spread throughout the entire organization, to all supervisors and management. Team Leads are also able to demand coaching leadership approach from their own supervisors.”
Qvik
CASE: Maria01
“As Maria01 grew and welcomed new employees, there was a need to create a shared culture and way of operating. Collaboration with Lifted began with an organizational culture workshop. Lifted was chosen as a partner due to their understanding of growth companies, among other candidates. The culture day was successful and sparked enthusiasm to continue developing in the field of leadership. Maria01’s ”Development as a Leader” leadership development program included sections on leadership team collaboration, individual leadership skills, and membership in the leadership team.
Ville appreciates that Lifted was able to collectively define the needs and build a suitable training program for Maria01. He also praises the smooth collaboration and seamless communication throughout the project. Ville highly recommends Lifted’s training to all organizations that are forward-thinking and eager to develop. ”When you build on a solid foundation, you reap the greatest benefits. The size of the organization doesn’t matter, whether it’s a growth company or a larger enterprise. What’s important is that the organization understands the significance of leadership and organizational culture.”
