“People are not instruments”

“You cannot fit people into your strategy in a mechanical way. Their degrees and job descriptions are less important. Intelligence, empathy and ‘grit‘ all the more so,” says Jeroen Lemaire, CEO of In The Pocket.

What does inspiring & coaching leadership mean to Jeroen?

“As a leader, you support people in their personal growth. Together, you explore how that growth can best support the company’s goals. Do you want to have an impact on the company? Then you have to give autonomy.”

“Personally, I focus strongly on the vision of In The Pocket. With my team, I continuously have an open conversation about how my employees contribute to this. It’s a two-way process: I also let myself be coached by my colleagues. That way, I learn a tremendous amount.”

Which personal achievements is Jeroen most proud of?

“In the past two years, we expanded my team by as much as 50%. 185 people in total, including international talent. We switched to a hybrid, remote-friendly way of working. But our third office in Antwerp did show the importance of physical meetings and local anchoring.”

“The quality and engagement of the team has never been better. In The Pocket is now a magnet for talented digital professionals. And I have adapted my management team and the organizational model to meet the challenges of the next 10 years.”
