Investing in our future – and yours
Propelling wind power to the top of the energy agenda is a long-term project. Its success depends on a highly-committed team of leaders who can inspire those around them and help shape the future direction of the organisation.
Ensuring a strong leadership pipeline is a two-stage process: firstly, identifying talented people within the company who demonstrate high potential, and then nurturing those people to become not just good leaders, but extraordinary leaders.
As the world’s largest pure wind player, we present talented and ambitious team players with limitless opportunities for advancing their careers on the global stage.
How do we identify our future leaders?
Together, we strive for great leadership throughout the organisation – setting high standards of expectation and routinely exceeding them. Underlying the leadership ethos is an appreciation of the entire Vestas value chain and a passion for living and breathing the Vestas brand.
We like leaders who are good at getting ahead, getting along and getting things done. This means people who have the vision to develop new business, drive improvements, innovate and identify future talents; people who can communicate with conviction and impact, build high-performance teams, and apply a global perspective; people who can plan for success, deal in facts, prioritise skilfully, establish trust and encourage accountability.
Helping to develop your leadership qualities
For many people, taking on a leadership role is a demanding responsibility. We are dedicated to supporting our future leaders before and during this process, helping them to fulfil their potential and embrace the challenges of their new roles. Every year hundreds of colleagues participate in one of our Leadership Transition Programmes, helping prepare them for more senior positions in the company.
We run courses for leaders on different levels within each Vestas career track – People & Business Leadership, Knowledge & Innovation Leadership and Project Leadership. If you take part in one of these programmes, you will equip yourself with new practical and interpersonal skills necessary for becoming a successful leader. Furthermore, you will learn how to bring value to the organisation and how to inspire your colleagues to perform at their peak.
As a company we aim to fill as many senior roles as possible internally, so we nurture our talent pipeline carefully and continually.
