That means the vast majority of us.

The SGL journey has begun.

Independent Leadership Thinking –

SGL explores the
dynamic interplay between
everything that changes” and
the unchanging nature of humanity.
This unique methodology
makes SGL both timeless
and relevant—everyone
will recognise something,
and many will find a lot!

A journey with SGL is a journey into your inner landscape—learning to meet life’s many demands in a dynamic interplay toward shared goals. Along the way, you’ll work with tools that enrich your communication (the language of colors), your decisions (the decision tree), your relationships (the chessboard), and your values—including the unconscious images of humanity that guide you. – As you move forward, you’ll discover this:
SGL-secrets is not a textbook.
The “secrets” are not instructions—they are recognitions. They awaken insight, create awareness, and open new possibilities.
It all comes down to starting where you are—not where someone else assumes you should be.
The real secret lies in collaborating with the wisdom of your own body.
This is life experience carried through thousands of years—embedded in your genes—knowing exactly how you respond to hunger, grief, change, discovery, desire, love, relationships, values, and the forces that shape groups, families, and nations in their struggle to survive.

In truth, it is remarkably simple:
Everything is changing — yet the patterns repeat. – Beneath the surface, Homo sapiens still responds much as in the ancient narratives of Abraham’s children –  Jews, Christians, and Muslims—in the story of Adam and Eve – with the same hunger, the same grief, the same fight for belonging.”
The secret is to recognize and use the wisdom you already carry: your deepest needs and skills, your innate longing for peace, harmony and love; your intuitive instincts of fear, fight, and flight; and the skills you have learned for mastery and survival.
“Our experience is:
SGL should be Mandatory for organization and start-up of all team- and project groups.”
Knut Birkeland – HR Director Norwegian Hydro / U&P

“SGL has provided me with practical tools for bringing teamwork to a really high level”
Marianne Iversen, Civil Engineer Executive Coach
“The SGL concept was a fantastic starting point. The result was, almost conflict-free communication between employees, which released extra energy to strengthen work towards common goals defined in the strategic plan” – Dag Terje Rian, Investor / CEO Scandpower as
“SGL is an investment in the true values, people, and this investment will give more back than anything else”. – Kåre Antonsen, Norwegian Energy Partners

SGL and chess have one secret in common. The chess pieces and the four suit roles in SGL are exactly the same. If you know chess, you can use the SGL methodology to become the best possible version of yourself.

Hagberg`s books cover the
Human Language of Leadership

  • Leadership and group development – especially through the SGL methodology, which he created and described in his work as a leadership developer.
  • Personal and group development, psychology, and life experience – reflections on pain, hope, and human growth.
  • Church, faith, and existential questions – theology and Christian reflection are central in several of his early books.
  • Social issues – such as bullying and learning difficulties (for example dyslexia), presented with strong documentary content in A Year in Ellen’s Life.

WHY

HOW

WHAT

Another question is: How are you? or:
Be What you are!
What do you feel is important in your life? – Are you being overlooked? – or made invisible with regard to important information? – or deprived of inspiring tasks? – Or never rewarded as you think you deserve? – In short: Why are you not satisfied?

The Personal red level mirrors the organizations’ goals and strategies.
The pyramid test tells How.


As leader you know.
My management determines the result.

The Private yellow level mirrors the risk, gut feeling and vulnerability.
The egg symbol tells us Why.


Remember: You never 
reach higher
than you go within yourself.

The Professional blue level mirrors the rational head communication.
The color language requires What.

Be aware:
Your words create what they mention.

SGL-Contacts

“SGL is so original and different from other Courses that it adds new skills and shakes many managers out of solidified attitudes and ways of thinking.

“The SGL concept was a fantastic starting point for establishing a common language in the management team. The result was, almost conflict-free communication between employees, which released extra energy to strengthen work towards common goals defined in the strategic plan”

“Jan Petrus brings wisdom developed from supporting people in life and in business over many decades in different spheres. He can help leaders understand themselves and each other better, and therefore how to get the best from each other”

“Petrus is a wise man. – . I admire the way Petrus talks to and guides the participants in their inner life and their understanding of themselves. 

«Through SGL I have got a greater respect and humility for my head job”
