About this listen
Whether you are an HR Director looking to safely onboard foreign executive talent, or an international professional stepping into a Nordic leadership role, understanding Norwegian work culture is critical to your success. In this episode, Jan Erik Christensen from the NLS Norway Relocation Group breaks down the intense culture shock that foreign managers face when trying to lead in Norway. Discover why traditional, top-down leadership completely fails in a "flat hierarchy," and why the slow process of consensus-building ("forankring") is the only way to get things done. We also decode the unwritten rules of "Janteloven" (humility over boasting) and why working late into the evening is viewed as a sign of incompetence rather than dedication. Learn why Corporate Solutions like Language & Culture Training are the ultimate insurance policy for your global talent.
