Tuff Self-Management – Employees and teams that manage themselves

How the Tuff training has impacted the leadership in self managed IT company Beetroot

“We would never have managed the increased pressure on our business during the pandemic without having come so far with self-organization and self-leadership. Tuff’s contribution was crucial to bring about that change.”
Anna Elgh from Svenska Retursystem comments on Tuff’s self-management training

Do you have an interest in exploring how people in your organisation could work differently and less hierarchically?

There are significant changes underway when it comes to how our workplaces function and organise themselves. Self-management, agile ways of working, trust-based leadership, Teal, self-organising teams (also called autonomous teams) – there are many terms for what is emerging now in the world of work. More and more organisations are discovering what’s possible when teams and individuals have more autonomy and accountability.

Tuff Leadership Training has more than twenty years of experience in employee-led organisations and self-managing teams. During this time, we have transformed several businesses to different degrees of self-management.

Typical results of the self-management process are

  • Perhaps above all, an increased employee and customer satisfaction
  • Not to mention a shorter distance between words and actions
  • Leaders gain back time for strategy and business development work
  • Changes are initiated and driven from all across the organisation as if by magic
  • A decrease in absenteeism
  • Historic, unresolved conflicts transformed
  • Lastly, organisations become extremely attractive from a recruitment perspective
