Business breakfast: why the team does not do what you said

How to get results through people when the team, the market and the tools change every year.

Date: Wednesday 11 November 2026, 8:40–11:00. Format: business breakfast. Venue: Mimosa Brooklyn Pizza, Suur-Karja 12, Tallinn. Language: Russian.

You explained the task, and a week later you see it is half done or done in someone's own way. Every owner and manager knows this. Maarika Honkonen has managed people for over 30 years: sales and marketing at Statoil, marketing director at Baltika, board member of SEB Life and Pension and ERGO Baltic States, six years at the head of the Estonian Hotel and Restaurant Association, and seven years on the Port of Tallinn board. At breakfast she will share what she has learned about teams: why people do things differently from what they were told, and how a manager gets results through others.

The programme covers why employees do a task differently from what you expected, how to set a task so the person understands it as you do and takes responsibility, how to delegate without checking every step, and how to work with strong people and what to do when a team resists change. In the second part she answers participants' questions.

Programme: 8:40 registration and networking; 9:00 talk; 9:40 questions and discussion; 10:00 breakfast and free conversation; 11:00 end.

For owners and CEOs who have a team and are tired of controlling everything personally. Ticket €50, food not included. Special price for club residents with a promo code. Photo and video recording takes place at the event. Organiser: CEO Business Club.
