In this case we follow Petter Eiken, Executive Vice President (EVP) at the global construction firm Skanska. Eiken is a leader with an untraditional leadership style operating in a highly traditional industry. In the case we first meet Eiken when he recently has been promoted to Regional EVP from a Country President level and he is about to make a crucial decision about if and how to move forward with a large change initiative. Is the time right to go ahead and present his ideas to the board? Is he ready? The case also includes information about Eiken's career, throughout which he has delivered outstanding results. What has made him successful? To answer this question and to showcase the principles of high performance leadership, we discuss different aspects of Eiken's behaviour and performance. The case includes interviews with many people who have worked with him, reporting on his impact on them.
