Lotta Vuoristo is a super exceptional leader. She has led culture and emotions development at both KONE and Rovio Entertainment, building on the latest research (she also has a PhD). We can learn so much from her.
In the video, we uncover and elaborate on her secret formula:
1. Diagnose current culture and emotions with the right tools for your organization (same diagnostic tools don't work in every organization)
2. Define the target, based on strategy
3. Identify emotional obstacles
4. Overcome inertia producing emotions
5. Generate collective emotions that help people move toward the new strategy
Point 5 doesn’t stop at decisions. As a leader, you must:
5.1. Act according to the target state yourself
5.2. Enable and expect employees to act in the same way
5.3. Maintain consistency and discipline
Only then do changes feel real — not just cheap talk.
