Helge Lund: – Var litt for egenrådig
Den tidligere Statoil-toppen og styrelederen i Yara er ikke overbevist om at han ville hatt seg selv…
Helge Lund, a former Statoil CEO now at Equinor, expressed humorously that he was "a bit too independent" according to a 2007-2008 management evaluation. Lund, who has also led Aker Kværner, BP, Novo Nordisk, BG Group, and Yara, declined an external board assignment from the Norwegian Styreinstituttet and Styreinstituttet's NHH Executive because he was already busy with family.
Lund emphasized that he valued strong relationships between leadership and the board, and that his experience with Novo Nordisk during the pandemic highlighted the importance of prioritizing patients' needs over company resources. He believes that a trusting relationship between a CEO and a CEO fosters open dialogue and mutual understanding about each other's roles, which is crucial during challenging times.
