It isn't always easy to 'walk the talk'. But we try.

Are you exploring new ways of working? Do you want to supercharge your collaboration by undergoing the inner shift that's needed for truly self-managing teams to thrive? Then we have good news! We have teamed up with Corporate Rebels, world leaders in curating knowledge about progressive organisations, to offer a specially designed 'Self-Management Bootcamp'. Tuff has twenty years' experience in supporting organisations to transition to self-management and we have spent those decades honing our transformation programmes to help leaders and individuals to undergo a mindset and skillset shift. There are lots of habits from the old paradigm to unlearn – many we don't even realise we are doing. We're proud of our ability to create safe – and brave – spaces where people quickly see their tendencies and get plenty of opportunities to try out another way of being. And of course we're called Tuff for a reason! So this programme is going to be intensive and challenging, with loads of practice, feedback and coaching from our Tuff trainers. You'll learn: 👉 A new concept of what leadership and collaboration needs to look like without top-down, traditional hierarchies 👉 How to have conversations that unleash self-leadership, development and responsibility around you 👉 How to develop relationships and teams built on genuine psychological safety (and not 'psychological comfort') 👉 How to create a culture of development and accountability (as opposed to it being just an aspiration) 👉 How to create true shared responsibility in teams and how to get out of decision-making dead-ends 👉 How to transform conflicts in groups, instead of tip-toeing around them 👉 Insights about yourself and new possibilities in terms of your 'way of being' as a collaborator or leader You'll find the link to learn more or to sign up in the comments.

This autumn, we have had two programmes of Tuff Training for HR, and we feel proud when we see what previous participants have written: 💬 “An eye-opener for how to be direct, clear, and humble for someone else's sake, and thereby become bolder and more powerful in my HR role.” 💬 “It's hard to describe the training briefly; it’s an incredibly successful concept, perfectly timed, and I will do everything I can to share and inform others about this training!” 💬 “This training has given me time to reflect on myself and my professional role. I have reduced my workload because I have started placing the res 💬 ponsibility for situations and tasks with those to whom it truly belongs.” 💬 “This training is an opportunity to increase your ability to choose your approach in your interactions with employees and managers. I make more conscious choices today. All the practical training has given me space to learn, try new things, and refine myself to become my best self - allowing more space for others to grow.” If you're curious, check out these opportunities: ✔️ We have a free webinar about this training (4th of November and 5th of December): https://lnkd.in/drTp9Eqg ✔️ In 2025 we offer this training online in English, read more and sign up here: https://lnkd.in/dseTkAy4 ✔️ And face to face in Swedish in Malmö, Gothenburg and Stockholm, read more and sign up here: https://lnkd.in/dkAxwEcJ

Is your performance management system just a box-ticking exercise? We know performance management systems are a big challenge for so many of our clients. With the best of intentions, so much energy goes into try to make them valuable and fair. And yet, managers and employees and HR often still hate them! We've also seen so much research over the years about how little value performance management systems add. So why has little changed? Perhaps it's because the assumptions baked into our performance management approaches are so strong. Assumptions like: 🔺 People must be ‘managed’ to perform 🔺 Employees need to be told what to do and make bad choices without direction 🔺 Without consistency, you will always have unfairness. With consistency, unfairness is prevented 🔺 The organisation must always have statements or policies for managers and leaders to fall back on in tough conversation. In this blog, Trevor Hudson (MSc MABP FLPI) offers alternatives for each of these assumptions. https://lnkd.in/dyHrppZi #DisruptHR #PerformanceRevolution #Leadership #CultureShift #TuffLeadership

What is the missing piece for shifting our organisations? We need to shift. Away from traditional, hierarchical, top-down ways of working, and towards ways of working that are more adaptive, agile, and self-directed.But there is a crucial piece that most organisations are not aware of. Without this piece, any efforts to shift the culture, leadership, or ways of working will fail. This webinar is about that missing piece. We provocatively call it: Stop Motivating Your Employees! WHO IS THIS FOR? This webinar is for two main audiences: people responsible for leadership training in organisations (for example, heads of Learning and Development, HR, People, or Culture); and managers or leaders interested in participating in one of our programmes. WHAT IS IT? An interactive session about how we can view leadership and organisational culture in a totally different way. You will also discover what mindset and skills leaders need to develop in order to create real shifts.It will be nothing like a normal webinar. It will be a mix of input and practical, interactive elements using breakout rooms. WHAT YOU WILL GET You’ll gain new insights about leadership and organisational culture, as well as a clear understanding of how Tuff creates concrete results such as: --> shifting leaders’ way of being, from unconsciously hierarchical (what we call a ‘parent-child’ dynamic) to new awareness and an ability to be equal-equal (adult-adult) --> the ability to really listen, so that people around them feel heard -- > the confidence to give feedback in a way that creates breakthroughs in others’ development JOIN US! The next webinar is this Friday, the 25th of October from 10:00-12:00 Central European Time or 9:00-11:00 UK time. Click here to book your free place - https://lnkd.in/d3zRZuSY

We have run our Tuff HR leadership training in Sweden for 20 years with great results! I am excited that we are now able to offer this in English too. Come along to the taster session (link below) to see what its all about.

Recently, Tuff trainer Lisa Gill gave a talk to 160 entrepreneurs at the Entrepreneurs' Organization European Leadership Conference in Mallorca. She shared leadership lessons from the world of self-managing organisations and there were lots of questions from the audience about how to take steps towards more autonomous teams. Many of the audience members were wearing at least two hats – how to lead their chapter of EO (including how to organise a group of volunteers), and also how to lead their own organisations. We love to share what we have learned over twenty years of supporting leaders to shift their mindset and way of being in order to unleash the full potential of their teams. It's not easy to navigate this paradigm shift we're in but sharing stories and creating spaces for dialogues is one thing we can contribute with, as well as training in how to make the transformation leap.

Do you find you end up dealing with EVERYTHING even vaguely people related?! Do managers come to you when they could handle the situations themselves? Do you want to be able to influence your organisation more and raise strategic HR issues? Then maybe our HR training is something for you. In addition to sharpening your skills so that you can have even better conversations with real impact, you will also be empowered in your role as HR. The training helps you become the "gravitas" expert that you already are as well as a true partner to the organisation. If you are curious about our training for HR, you can participate in a free webinar that gives you a real taste of what our full HR training can provide. This webinar is in English as HR colleagues from different countries will participate. 🔺 Practical and tough Just like our full training programme, this webinar is interactive, and you will try out new ways of having familiar conversations that are both tough and empathetic and create responsibility in the other person. 🔺 What to expect? An interactive webinar about the HR role and its challenges. A taster of the skills trained in the program and all the information needed to help you decide if it's for you.

Thrilled to share about our new partnership: For years, Corporate Rebels have been a voice for how to work in a different way! How to reinvent traditional structures and processes to make them more human, more effective and more fun. We at Tuff Leadership Training will now contribute with a complementary and crucial piece: how we are BEING when we are doing those new structures and processes. The part we are so often totally unaware of. The part that's hard to see for ourselves! Find Pim de Morree´s announcement below
