Ulosjohtoon

Ulosjohtoon is a Finnish term used in corporate, organizational and public administration discourse to describe a transition in which a person moves out of a leadership position, or where leadership responsibilities are removed from internal management and placed in another arrangement. The exact meaning depends on the context; in many media reports it denotes the formal removal of an executive from day-to-day leadership, sometimes followed by reassignment, a farewell, or departure, while in planning discussions it can refer to shifting leadership duties to an external manager or consultant.

Linguistically, ulosjohtoon is a compound formed from ulos- (out, external) and johto (leadership, management), with the illative suffix -oon indicating movement toward that state or role in Finnish grammar. The phrase is predominantly used in Finnish-language sources and is common in discussions of organizational changes, governance reforms, or leadership transitions.

Usage and scope: In business news, ulosjohtoon typically signals that an executive has been replaced, demoted, or otherwise taken out of active leadership duties, rather than merely transferred to another internal position. In public administration or non-profit contexts, the term can describe shifting leadership responsibility to an external board, a management company, or an external consultant, or a voluntary move to a non-managerial role. The exact interpretation often depends on accompanying verbs and the broader sentence context.

Notes: Because the term is context-dependent, there is no single universally fixed definition. Its precise meaning is best understood from the surrounding text and the specific organizational setting.
