Meet Joakim Kedbrant: Transformation Leader & Change Expert With a diverse background spanning listed companies, PE-owned firms, and state-owned entities, Joakim specializes in organizational development and change leadership. Starting at Ericsson, he mastered program and project leadership, then held leadership roles in the USA, overseeing large-scale projects. Venturing into startups, Joakim led Influence, a consultancy, and later steered Indoor Energy through rapid expansion via acquisitions. Transitioning to Interim Management, he led transformative projects at Karolinska Hospital, Swedavia, and PostNord, emphasizing transparent leadership and tangible results. Joakim's best advice for a transformation: • Understand the assignment and where you are heading – the direction • Be driven and take initiatives – but be humble and "musical" in getting to know the business • Build relationships • Establish a "now" picture of the business • Start working early with understanding what abilities (competences, behavior, etc.) you will need and how to build it. There is often resistance or uncertainty in the organization as the individual does not understand what will be needed tomorrow • Always show early successes and start follow-up on a few, but important, key figures   Read the whole interview with Joakim here: https://lnkd.in/dsShRwAx.. #interimmanagement #projectmanagment #bestadvice

https://lnkd.in/eEfT7eFS. I was interviewed by Bob Gerst of People in Transition, where I was able to share my Strategic Approach to the Job Search Process. In this conversation, I share tangible tips on how to approach some critical areas of your job search, including: Clarifying your career goals: Use assessments to identify your key skills, ideal roles, and preferred working environment. Crafting an impactful resume: Go beyond listing duties—highlight your accomplishments. Answer the question, "My efforts resulted in…" Combating ageism: Avoid detailing jobs older than 15–20 years; instead, capture in an additional category titled: Additional Professional Experience. Maximizing your networking: Al reveals why networking is far more critical than just sending out resumes—and how to do it right. Strategy when emailing new contacts: Use subject lines like “Bob Gerst suggested I reach out to you” to ensure your message gets noticed. Staying positive: Job searches are emotional roller coasters. Al explains how staying positive can boost your effectiveness. I encourage you to listen to this informative interview.
