Yhteisjohtoryhmä

Yhteisjohtoryhmä, often translated as a joint leadership team or executive group, is a concept found in various organizational structures, particularly within Finnish public administration and larger companies. It refers to a collective body responsible for shared leadership and decision-making within a specific unit, department, or the entire organization. The primary purpose of a yhteisjohtoryhmä is to ensure unified direction, coordinated strategy implementation, and consistent management across different areas of responsibility.

The composition of a yhteisjohtoryhmä typically includes key individuals holding senior leadership positions, such as directors, heads of departments, or chief officers. They convene regularly to discuss strategic objectives, allocate resources, address operational challenges, and make collective decisions that impact the organization's performance. This collaborative approach aims to leverage diverse expertise and perspectives, fostering a more holistic and effective leadership style. By sharing the leadership burden, the group can enhance accountability and promote a sense of collective ownership over the organization's success. The specific mandates and powers of a yhteisjohtoryhmä are usually defined in the organization's bylaws or internal regulations.
