We live in a world dominated by brands and companies, often driven by random and questionable values, products of finance and business operations. For years, together with Erica Marson , we have invested all our energies into what we call the "PERFORMANCE MANIFESTO". Day after day, we realize that many, like us, fight against the obvious, the status quo, and clichés to continuously raise the bar. I've had the privilege of collaborating with professionals like Ash Lewin and Richard McAinsh, visionary athletes like Jan-Willem Van Schip, and ingenious engineers like Ferdinando Auricchio and Gianluca Alaimo. We continue our challenge fueled by numbers and sensations, skills and intuitions. Together with proud companies like APWORKS Additive Manufacturing and Litem-Life Testing Machines. This video encapsulates so much of our journey. And it always excites me. https://lnkd.in/dJuF-f_X #cycling #challenge #performance #performancemanifesto #toot #aerodynamics #adaptive #additivemanufacturing #3dprinting #design #engineering #olympics #aero #

In today's world, where employee disengagement is getting higher and costs the global economy US $8.8 *trillion*, effective leadership is pivotal. When we're talking about the essence of engineering leadership, we have to consider the balance between passion for technology and mentorship. I have tried to list the key practices when it comes to engineering leadership - the synergy between passion and mentorship, and elements that define great leaders. Let me know what else you do to be an effective engineering leader, or would want to see from one. 📙 Read my full blog here: https://lnkd.in/dut9Ppec

What I love about the stories of Moran, Talia, Ayelet, and Uvi, is that each in their own way they embody one of the unique powers of female leadership - the ability to hold seemingly incredibly different aspects of the work simultaneously and weave them together in a way that adds value and pushes the business forward. They each seem to do this on a daily basis in their roles: -->Combining technical execution and business strategy (Moran) -->Managing internal engineering conversations and external customer requirements (Talia) -->Bringing the best of academia into real-world industrial applications (Ayelet) -->Ability to drill down into incredible detail, while seeing the big picture & knowing that bringing the right people into a room together is the key to successful hardware design (Uvi) Inspired by your leadership @Moran Molnar Talia Berkowitz Ayelet Akselrod-Ballin, PhD Ahuva Kroizer 😎

Today marked the end of the Scania Group Innovation Factory Program Boot Camp for the 2024-25 batch. It has been a great privilege to develop, lead, and facilitate these four fully packed days of workshops together with Linda Fragner and David Finnegan. I loved seeing how our great talents started to adopt our mantras such as: ¤Progress over perfection ¤Dare to show unfinished work ¤Empathy and understanding of team members and customers ¤Shifting from a product development mindset to a business development mindset, considering all aspects such as desirability, viability, feasibility, and sustainability ¤Understanding that sustainability and innovation go hand in hand and that we all have a part to play in driving the shift and transitioning to a better future ¤Adopting an assumption-based approach, understanding the need for iterations, testing, and validating assumptions, moving from opinions to facts based on testing and actual customer feedback On the 18th of June, these talents will have the possibility to pitch their findings and hard work in the hope of securing a spot in the incubation phase of the Scania Innovation Factory. #Innovation #Sustainability #Teamwork #Leadership #ScaniaInnovationFactory #Drivingtheshift #Scania

For us at Chassis assembly Scania, Skill Capture isn't just a strategy; it's a mindset, a commitment to empowering our team, and driving success together. It means recognizing and leveraging individual strengths, nurturing untapped potential, and embracing diverse perspectives with genuine curiosity.   When Skill Capture thrives, we create a workplace where innovation flourishes, and we collectively propel our organization towards shared goals.   Our culture is fuelled by energy, creativity, courage, and authenticity, ensuring every idea finds its place, leading to increased productivity and strong results.   Our Skill Capture Strategy is all about cultivating a culture of continuous improvement, learning, and inclusivity:   We invest in targeted training sessions, emphasizing psychological safety and active listening among leaders to foster diverse perspectives.   In our pursuit of inclusivity, we've broadened our approach across various areas, from workgroup composition to authorship of articles.   We now ask more questions in our decision-making process, seeking additional perspectives and specific expertise to enrich our outcomes.   As we appoint future leaders, we consider their readiness to handle diverse situations and lead through change.   Our journey continues with a focus on continuous improvement, unconventional leadership styles, and promoting learning for all. It's a challenge that demands persistence, courage, and reflection, but our collective motivation drives us toward success! 🌟💪   Coming weeks, we will focus on Diversity and Inclusion in our internal communication channels. I'd like to express my heartfelt gratitude to my esteemed colleagues for wholeheartedly accepting the role of Diversity and Inclusion representatives within the Chassis Assembly unit in Södertälje for this important initiative.

Starting in 2005, there was a dramatic shift in new CEO positions being advertised with more emphasis on social skills (soft skills) and less emphasis on operational expertise (hard skills). That's not me saying this, it's Harvard Business Review - https://lnkd.in/epzmsn9M 👉Improving your leadership today seems to be more about building successful teams and less about your own talent in making operational decisions. 👉Incidentally, training in KAI can help you develop both aspects of your leadership: determining how best to solve the task at hand, and how your team can be built to deliver the results you need.
