Keynote by speaker Nicklas Pyrdol: Diversity without Drama - Collaboration in Diverse Teams & Organizations

Even though research shows all the benefits of having diverse teams in both nationalities, professional experience and education, age, gender, ethnicity, sexuality etc. we are yet to talk openly about the challenges of diversity. Because the foundation of diversity is also a difference in worldviews, opinions, ways of working, communication style etc. So increased diversity can also mean an increase in conflict.

Let's call it out – the path to increased diversity can be a rocky road, marked by conflicts stemming from these differences. But here's the paradox: within this turbulence lies the potential for unprecedented innovation and growth. So, let's not just acknowledge the challenges; let's embrace them as the catalysts for transformation and progress that they truly are. After all, navigating these diverse waters is where the magic happens.

In this talk Nicklas talk about how you can strengthen collaboration in your diverse organization by:

Talking less about the cultural differences and talk more about the mutual ambitions.

Focusing on the human being and not the label.

Learning how to lean into the discomfort instead of stepping out.

Building a culture of Psychological Safety and Empathy.

In many modern workplaces we rely more and more on the individual employee to make independent decisions, drive their own results, and improve and innovate the product, service, or way of working.

The destination is a workplace where self-leadership isn't just a concept but a dynamic force propelling the organization towards continual growth and excellence.

In this talk Nicklas will guide you on strengthening your self-leadership culture by telling you:

What the 4 core principles of self-leadership is.

Why Self-leadership requires clear goals and roles.

How to promote self-leadership behavior through as a manager.
