BOOK ABOUT NORDIC LEADERSHIP

"Return of the Vikings – Nordic Leadership in Times of Extreme Change"

The book tells the story of the rich heritage of the Nordic peoples: as explorers, navigators, trendsetters, political and educational innovators. This provides deep roots, traced back to the Viking era and the nine noble virtues of Nordic mythology. And it still informs the way the Nordic peoples live and work today.

Authors: Chris Shern & Henrik Jeberg.
