From insight to everyday action: How Siili turned leadership development into measurable impact

At Siili, leadership development wasn’t about adding another training, it was about solving a real business need: how to scale a more human, high-performing culture in the middle of rapid growth and AI-driven transformation. Together with NeuroLeadership Institute, Siili focused on equipping leaders with practical, brain-based tools they could apply immediately in their daily work, especially around feedback, collaboration, and supporting long-term growth. The impact has been clear and measurable: 96% of participants are applying what they learned at least 1–3 times per week and many even more often. This is what makes the difference. Not just learning, but consistent application in real work.

Podcast: Microsoftin johtamiskulttuurin muutos

Microsoft on tehnyt ison muutoksen johtamiskulttuurissaan Satya Nadellan johdolla. Muutoksen ytimessä on Carol Dweckin kehittämä Growth Mindset. Johtajien ei tarvitse esittää kaikkitietäviä ylhäisessä yksinäisyydessään, vaan pyritään oppimaan uutta yhdessä. Palautekulttuurin muutos on myös keskeisessä roolissa, ja kaiken kaikkiaan aivoystävällinen johtaminen. Neuroleadership Institute on ollut tässä tukena, ja Arto Miekkavaara kertoo tarkemmin asiasta Reaktorin Paras paikka ihmiselle -podcastissa.

Podcast: Mittarointi ja tavoitteet tietotyössä

Reaktorin Kati Vilkki ja NeuroLeadership Institute Finlandin Arto Miekkavaara keskustelevat siitä, miten vallalla olevat yksilökeskeiset mittarointi- ja tavoitekäytännöt ovat motivaation tai suorituskyvyn kannalta lähinnä tuhoisia, ja niillä saattaa olla täysin päinvastainen vaikutus kuin on tarkoitettu. Ei hätää, tähän löytyy lääkkeitä ja erilaisia tapoja toimia; sellaisia, jotka saavat yksilöt ja ryhmät voimaan paremmin yhdessä yrityksen tuloskunnon kanssa.

Developed by experts

Imagine having a team of scientists and advisors obsessed with talent problems you haven’t yet been able to solve. At NLI, we listen to the market to hear what questions keep talent executives up at night, and we deploy our in-house PhDs and extended scientist network to find reliable, practical solutions. This is not research for research’s sake. Our team distills vast scientific literatures into simple, actionable strategies that help companies perform better. We do this in three ways: original experimental work, original industry research, and synthesizing thousands of academic studies. This mining for patterns of insight informs better talent practices.
