NEW OPPORTUNITIES FOR

LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT

Stena is continuing to offer its leaders opportunities to refine their skills with the help of the Ready 4 Anything leadership program (R4A). During the autumn, several physical courses will start up again after the pandemic break. In parallel with this, several digital courses will also be held, including the new module Push your boundaries.

Through the leadership program Ready 4 Anything, Stena offers opportunities to its leaders to develop their skills for the future. Despite the pandemic, several of the modules included in R4A have nonetheless been held. This applies to Envisioning the Future and The Network Always Wins, which have been digital from the start, and Gain or Drain, which has been temporarily transformed into the digital course Powerup. 

It is important that we dont stop because of the present crisis, but continue to take the time to develop and learn new things, Maria Holmberg, Director People and Organizational Excellence, Stena AB. During the spring, we had 90 participants in our digital courses, which shows that there is a strong interest and commitment for this among Stenas leaders.

From September, the physical modules will start up again and registration is now open at the R4A site. A new digital module, Push your boundaries, has been added. This is included as step two in the module The Unknown Unknown, with the first part being physical and based on interaction with horses. 

Tony Michaelsen, Group Head of Travel Stena Line and Margaret McFadzean, Head of HR, Northern Marine Group, attended the first round of Push your boundaries held in the spring.

The course provide several aha experiences, says Tony Michaelsen. Over the years, Ive learned that there are solutions to all problems and the course has been a confirmation of this. A common phenomenon when theres something worrying you is that you keep your thoughts to yourself. But if you turn to people that you don’t usually discuss things with, you may suddenly discover a solution you didnt even know existed. This is an example of what I have experienced during this course and that were very valuable.

As a leader, its important to be authentic towards yourself, to trust in the ways that work well for you and not try to copy someone elses leadership style, says Margaret McFadzean. Although were naturally influenced and inspired by the leadership styles of others, it is not certain that they would suit your personality. It was therefore interesting to see how all the leaders in our group had different ways of finding solutions to the problems we faced – and that there is not one right way to do something, but several. The key is to have a common guiding principle to start from, such as the White Book. During the weeks that the course was conducted, we also managed to solve a number of challenges related to our regular duties.

Stena is providing its leaders with the chance to develop their skills with the leadership program Ready 4 Anything. Leaders at Stena are responsible for further developing the capabilities of their employees, business and themselves, which requires new skills when the world around us is so volatile. 

Stena is offering its leaders the chance to develop their skills in order to capture the opportunities of the future. The program is divided into six modules, conducted on an ongoing basis, and is intended for all leaders at Stena.
