Elin, it has now been just over six months since you started as Regional Manager for Västra Götaland at Skogssällskapet.
What experiences have you gained from this first period?
-A lot of detailed knowledge about the highs and lows within the company, of course. Furthermore, the benefit of contact networks within the company and a start on contact networks outside the company. I have understood how differently we can do things - ie when I went from a government agency of 10,000 people to a foundation of just over 100 people, there is a lot of difference in organization, access routines and processes, support, proximity to colleagues, etc.
What do you consider important in this assignment and what is required of you as a leader?
-Interest in people, a sense of how to work with different personality types, drive to get the group together and work on cooperation between all parties. It is also important to be able to jump from one topic to another without dropping any balls, energy & endurance.
