Our Perspectives
Alumni Global's perspectives on leadership, succession and board governance
Alumni Global works with executive search, board services and leadership assessment and development. Here we gather our articles and perspectives on leadership, drawing on what we learn from the boards, CEOs and leadership teams we work with, and from our events such as the Alumni Executive Summit. The topics range across leadership in change, succession, board governance, AI leadership and how organisations develop their leaders, written by our consultants for those who lead, recruit or serve on a board.
Why trust matters as much as vision
What really matters most to a company’s long-term success? A clear vision? A strong strategy? Or the ability to make the right decisions? For Volito, the answer lies to a great extent in trust between people. In owners who are real people. In relationships and leaders who are given the freedom to act entrepreneurially while remaining accountable for the long-term development of the business. In our conversation with Ulf Liljedahl, CEO of Volito, he shares his experience of leading in an environment where values, culture and active ownership do not merely support the business, but form part of the business model itself.
