Developing capacities to lead in complexityLeadership Development
Leadership Challenges
Today’s leaders face a number of novel and complex challenges in a multitude of different areas. They are called to lead in the face of the unknown and uncertain. Leadership is no longer about ensuring stability or the question of adapting to a huge technological shift. There is a strong demand for a more in-depth ability to perceive what is actually happening and to act accordingly.
In the face of global pandemics, digitalization and an endangered biosphere, the resulting likelihood to need to completely restructure organisations into something yet unprecedented brings forth the demand to deeper listening – both on leadership and team levels as well as on the level of the whole organisation.
In these disruptive times, where transformation is called for and our ability to navigate is challenged a developmental approach sharpens the ability to navigate complexity.
Leadership Development
Our Approach
As Fraendi consultants we walk alongside, supporting leaders to develop their capacities to act in uncertainty and bring it into their teams and organisations. For individual leaders, we start with creating in-depth leadership profiles that demonstrate which cognitive and worldview capacities can be developed to respond to the call for transformation.
This process, based on well-researched and scientific methodologies, highly respects the uniqueness of the leader. The individual potential to develop through highly disruptive times becomes visible. Our leadership profiles describe the edges of your perception and help widen your comfort zone – your ground for action.
We are working with a lean, thorough and deep while at the same time very pragmatic process that leads to groundbreaking changes in perspective and immediately widens your ability to decide and act in the face of the unknown.

Leadership Development
How it works
The leadership development process with Fraendi begins with two semi-structured informal interviews that our consultants analyze along Cognitive and Social-Emotional and worldview lines. After that, a series of thought-provoking material will be provided for you to reflect upon and practice new ways of looking at the world. Throughout the process, you are encouraged to view the challenges you are facing from many different perspectives. In a subsequent conversation, we look at your growth, provide further recommendations and speak about next possible steps for you in our different leadership program parts, such as peer group salons, individual coaching, team consulting and possible steps in your organisational development.

“It’s an opportunity to look at yourself and grow in a way that no other course out there right now teaches. Linda and Iva did a great job. The follow-up coaching with Iva was invaluable. I feel so grateful to have had the opportunity to do this. Thank you so much.”
“I am more prepared when planning for broader strategy and I am more open when working with those whose perspectives differ from mine.”
“My colleague and I are meeting monthly to check in with each other regarding how we are using the information in our meetings. We compare notes and we also discuss a different topic each time utilizing the different thinking templates. We agreed we would debrief after large management meetings to ask each other what we thought utilizing the mind openers for discussion.”
“This was one of the few workshops that has changed the way I think about things. Game-changing!”
“I’m much more comfortable about the unknown & leading in times of uncertainty. The additional coaching sessions have also been of great value.”
“I am more elaborate in how I communicate in certain settings, which was clearly an opportunity for improvement for me.”
