Juha Harju

Every day, week, and month are both different and similar. My leadership is based on routines and situational awareness as well as decision-making and social skills. Especially in our business environment, we must lead with passion, but also with expertise and numbers, to ensure growth, development, and profitability. I am excited about winning, feedback, learning, and creating something new.

How can we make the IT business flourish again?

During the reign of Nokia, growth required nothing more than the capability to deliver. No regeneration was needed. Nowadays, IT service companies are in a state of stagnation. Where have all the big dreams gone? Here are some of Juha's theses on the growth of the IT business.

Courage in the daily life of a CEO

Our company value of the month is courage. We have defined the value with these phrases: I can do even better; I have the courage to admit problems; I have the courage to take the bull by the horns. But how is this seen in my daily work as CEO?

Responsibility – what is it?

A couple of weeks ago I took part in a seminar called Strength from Responsible Choices in Jyväskylä. The seminar was well organized and full of interesting speakers, including Mr. Al Gore. But I was more inspired by the Finnish speakers, presidential candidate and former minister Sauli Niinistö in particular.

Positive Feedback – That Wonderful Feeling

In recent weeks, we have paid special attention to giving feedback in our work community. But how difficult this is for us Finns. It seems to me that, particularly in the IT sector, we have excelled in the area of positive feedback – by forgetting entirely to give it.
