"Setting an Example at the Front Line"
Ponsse, a global leader in forestry machines, introduced Deep Leadership® training at its North American affiliate to strengthen team dynamics. CEO Marko Mattila, inspired by his own experience with the training, brought it to his executive team.
"I wanted to share the training with my team," says Mattila, noting its impact on managing change and improving operations.
Sharing Responsibility
Before the training, decision-making was centralized, slowing progress. Deep Leadership® encouraged team members to take more responsibility, particularly in the after-sales department, leading to improved results and morale.
Improved Confidence
Mattila credits the training with boosting his confidence and leadership skills. "I try to listen more and make thoughtful decisions." He now trusts his team to handle tasks efficiently, even in his absence.
"The training led to lasting changes. I strive to set an example and lead from the front," Mattila concludes.
