Ari Peltola - Managing Director Oracle Finland Oy
"You cannot change personality but behavior can be changed"
Ari Peltola leads Oracle’s organization with the Deep Leadership philosophy. He credited the company’s steady flow of new challenges in the international business, which employed over 100,000 people at the time, as key to its dynamic leadership environment.
Deep Leadership® coaching became a central part of Oracle’s leadership culture. Initially introduced to a few executives, it quickly expanded to the entire leadership team, and eventually all supervisors and employees.
By the time of the case study, nearly all managers and half of Oracle’s 225 employees had completed the coaching, embedding Deep Leadership® into performance discussions and leadership practices.
Impact on Business
Oracle experienced significant improvements in employee and customer satisfaction, with its Finnish unit standing out in internal surveys. Deep Leadership® played a crucial role in driving business growth, and studies at the time showed marked improvements in customer loyalty and employee satisfaction.
Personal Growth
Peltola used the Deep Leadership® 360-profile to enhance his strengths and work on areas for improvement. His development goal, “Inspire by asking,” encouraged him to give colleagues more space before offering his own views, demonstrating his growth as a leader.
