Me as a manager 

My name is Lasse and over the past six years I have been in different purchasing and management positions within Scania. I enjoy working in a truly diverse and international company, where everyone can learn and grow as a professional. As a manager I believe our employees are our biggest asset: I get really motivated by seeing my team succeed, by witnessing them learn, grow and develop their individual potentials. I like to empower and give space, at the same time I have the tools and knowledge to support and guide when needed. I believe in teamwork rather than working in silos, we are stronger as a team and together we will reach the target.
