Troldtekt ® Leadership Commitment
A message from the CEO:
Leadership means moving forward
Some years ago, I visited the headquarters of a well-known Danish company. As I walked through the corridors, a sign on the wall caught my eye. It read: “If you’re standing still, you’re moving backwards.”
That sentence stayed with me. Not because it was new or revolutionary, but because it captured something I have always felt; Leadership is about movement. It’s not about standing still, waiting for clarity, or playing it safe. It’s about choosing progress. Taking responsibility. Believing that the next step, even in uncertainty, can take us somewhere better.
At Troldtekt, we are moving forward, growing in people, segments, and markets - making a real impact. Growth brings both complexity and opportunity and how we lead is key to making a difference for people, planet, and business.
To sum it all up. Leadership in Troldtekt means:
Be ambitious
• Set high expectations – for yourself and your team.
• Drive performance. Push for progress.
• Never settle for “good enough”.
Be responsible
• Own your team’s success.
• Build the right team, grow key competences, and lead with clarity and purpose – every day.
This leadership commitment is our shared foundation. It’s how we bring purpose to life, how we turn strategy into action, and how we share a culture where people can thrive and grow. It is a promise, to ourselves, to each other, and the people we lead.
Be trustworthy
• Lead with integrity – and with heart.
• Be present and respectful.
• Follow through on your commitments.
Guided by purpose. Grounded in values. Focused on people.
As a People Manager, you are accountable for building and leading a high performing culture. That means having the right people, the right competences, and providing the leadership needed for your team to succeed — short and long term.
Leadership is a shared responsibility. It’s about knowing who you are as a leader, how you lead your people, and how you contribute to the bigger picture.
This Leadership Commitment sets a clear direction with shared expectations and specific actions. Let it guide you — and remember, leadership isn’t a role you step into once. It’s something you choose to do, every day.
