Wilfred de Roos has lived and worked in Denmark for 10 years. In various roles for a typical Scandinavian company he has been effective in managing organisations in most European countries. His effectiveness comes from a deep rooted curiosity in what is driving people when they make business decision and in their behaviour in companies.
He has written articles that were mainly published through LinkedIn and was surprised by the enormous response he got when writing about the style of Danish managers. Based on this success he has been invited to management conferences and other speaking opportunities to talk about Danish Leadership.

What business people can lørn from Danish managers
Danish managers lead their business and people effectively and in a different way compared to their peers in large economies. Their style is based on equality, speed and trustworthiness.

Managers in cultures where business are traditionally managed with directive styles, struggle with effectiveness and motivation of their employees. Increasing education levels within their organisation create the need for a different kind of management style. This book will teach managers to apply equality, speed and trustworthiness as values or ingredients of their behaviour. They will get insights in why these values are needed and what the effects of them will be, especially on the motivation and engagement of their employees. I have branded this as "Danish Leadership Style". The book will also explain where this style originates from. Readers will understand how to get a different management style in their own organisations. I will specify this using some key business processes as examples and explain main problems, why things should be changed, how to apply Danish Leadership and what the effects will be.
The book is unique in the sense that the "participative" management styles as presented in traditional overviews and books is only recommended to use when employees work together, staff has experience and the working environment is stable. My view is that it can also be applied in cases of crisis and lack of competency. Many authors describe different styles and conclude that the key to being an effective leader is to have a broad repertoire of styles and to use them appropriately. Very rarely they explain how to do this. The reality is that it is very difficult for people to adjust their style continuously. That is where Danish Leadership can help them as it consistently includes elements of different styles without the need for changing "hats" all the time. As a consequence Danish Leadership is pragmatic and easy to apply.
The book will be written for managers all around the globe. Based on the response on some articles I have written on Linkedin, I expect a lot of interest in the UK, the US and India for some reasons, a.o.:
- Management education has been around for several years and is given on a high academic level. Managers are used to reflecting on their behaviour.
- Staff reporting to managers has received good education, often also on a high academic level. These people tend to be critical, factual and find it difficult to respect leaders who rule based on non-intellectual power
- Historically and culturally, managers have applied directive styles without too much involvement of their people in decision-making.

Research by the Chartered Management Institute in the UK underpins this. When asked, 'What is the dominant type of management style in your organisation?', the most common replies were 'authoritarian' or autocratic (21%) and 'bureaucratic' (16%). Far fewer of those surveyed identified positive features of management such as 'innovative' (7%), 'trusting' (9%), and 'empowering' (7%).
