Psychological Safety

High Performance Teams in Deloitte

In collaboration with CfL, Denmark’s largest audit and advisory firm has enrolled its leaders in a 25-hour course on building high-performing teams that embrace both disagreements and mistakes.

Read about IT Delivery Director at Deloitte, Kristoffer Kaspersen’s experience with CfL:

"The course gave us a shared understanding of the leader’s role in creating psychological safety within a team. Some of us, like myself, had to take a deep breath, while others set a goal to become less reserved. But we developed a common language for fostering safe teams and gained important insights about ourselves."

"For me, this means that it’s okay to disagree – but it has to be done in a respectful way, as the best decisions are made collectively. It’s also crucial to have leadership support. Specifically, it has been invaluable to me that my manager, CIO Aino Arildsen, leads by example and ensures we maintain a continuous focus on development in a psychologically safe environment."

Our Approach

How We Create Success in Leadership Development

We design our leadership development programmes based on a structured and proven approach, ensuring that we deliver solutions that make a real difference for your organisation. Here’s how we do it:

Needs Analysis

We begin with a thorough assessment of your organisation, leaders, and strategic objectives. This helps us identify the specific areas that need to be addressed to ensure optimal development and success in both the short and long term.

Designing a Tailored Programme

Based on our analysis, we create a customised programme that aligns with your organisation, culture, and leadership challenges. Each element is carefully designed to address specific issues and strengthen the necessary competencies.

Implementation & Practical Training

The tailored programme is implemented through hands-on training that your leaders can immediately apply in their daily work. Our experienced consultants work closely with you throughout the process, bringing deep industry expertise and practical insights.

Follow-Up & Measuring Results

Following the programme, we conduct a follow-up to ensure that results are effectively measured and applied. We evaluate the improvements achieved and provide ongoing support to help you sustain the enhanced leadership capabilities and secure lasting impact.

EFFECTIVE DECISION-MAKING & ENHANCED COLLABORATION

Why Invest in Leadership Development?

Focusing on leadership development brings a wide range of benefits. Improved performance, stronger decision-making, enhanced collaboration, and greater well-being are just a few of the positive outcomes you can expect to achieve.

Cohesion & Shared Direction

A well-functioning leadership team ensures that everyone is working towards the same strategic goals. We help create a shared understanding and alignment, enabling the leadership team to operate as a unified force.

Faster Decision-Making & Problem-Solving

High-performing leadership teams make faster and more effective decisions. Through our programmes, your leaders will develop stronger collaboration skills and learn how to solve complex challenges efficiently.

Enhancing Communication & Collaboration

Effective communication is the key to a strong leadership team. We train your leaders to improve internal communication, strengthening collaboration across departments and functions.

Strengthening Strategy Execution

A cohesive leadership team has the ability to drive the company’s strategy forward. Our programmes ensure that leaders are not only capable of developing strategies but also executing them effectively.

How We Help

Leadership is the single most influential and lasting factor in value creation. That’s why we are passionate about leadership—especially about developing great leaders by equipping them with the right tools to become even better.

Great leadership is not a destination but an ongoing development process. We stand by your side—both in times of success and in times of challenge – helping your organisation navigate today’s and tomorrow’s leadership demands.

When we engage in leadership development, we always focus on both strategic and personal leadership.

We take a genuine interest in you and your organisation. Together, we create leadership development that makes a real impact and take the first steps toward lasting growth.

Lifelong Learning – Even for Leaders

Leadership can be learned and trained—just like any other skill. Some may have a natural talent for it, but for everyone, success depends on accepting that their role is to build strong relationships and drive results. Being an excellent people manager does not necessarily make you a great strategist. Similarly, excelling as an operations manager does not automatically mean you will thrive as a steering committee member or project owner. Most leaders will need to keep learning throughout their careers. What does your organisation need its leaders to improve?

The leaders are satisfied and actively applying what they have learned. The evaluations score an impressive 4.7 out of 5. We can see that the leadership training is making us stronger together—just as our motto says.

Lars Sander, Director of Transformation & HR at DKTV A/S.

”The results have been extremely positive. Our middle managers are asking for more of this kind of training, and we are working to make it a reality. In fact, we see the first cohort as the foundation for how we train our leaders. Moving forward, this will become our leadership programme for kitchen managers.”

Anders Steengaard Leer, Division Director, Jespers Torvekøkken

"I have received a lot of positive feedback, especially regarding how the academic and statistical information was made relevant and practical. The participants found that incredibly valuable. It wasn’t just a lecture—they walked away with a real toolbox. They truly embraced Mette’s [Mette Groos Lønsted] engaging teaching approach."
