Leaders who help others grow

We don't believe leaders are born, instead we train them.This is a foundation for both leaders themselves, teams, and employees to grow professionally and personally.

Our leaders carry out customer centricity, inspiring others, and role modelling our cultural commitments.

"Leading a tribe requires an awareness of the differences we all bring to the table, as there is much greater cultural, geographic and professional diversity among those who work in the tribe than there is in a branch."

Dennis, Tribe Lead, Copenhagen

" I always wanted to lead a great team. I've been surprised about the support you get as a leader in the bank; continuous training while keeping it high on the agenda in the management team I'm a part of."
