During a visit in February to Ikea’s store in Miami, the company’s U.S. president, Lars Petersson, started talking trash.
It began when a worker there told Petersson about the difficulty he had dragging the store’s garbage all the way through the warehouse to the dumpsters. Petersson suggested that a forklift could save a lot of time and effort, but no forklift was free in the warehouse. So Petersson went and found one. The employee balked again—he didn’t know how to drive a forklift. So Petersson quickly arranged to get the worker trained in operating heavy machinery.
“It turned out to be a super–detailed question,” Petersson says. And at Ikea, this is the sort of banal problem solving that falls to the company’s top executives. Yes, even the head of the U.S. business has to think about how to take out the trash. “Hierarchy is not a big Swedish thing,” Petersson explains. His title, “country manager,” lacks so much conceit that it confuses Americans. Only a handful of executives even have business cards. Everyone is on a first-name basis and sits side by side at Ikea desks, naturally, in an open floor plan at the company’s U.S. “service office” (Ikeaspeak for headquarters) in Conshohocken, Pa. Word to the wise: If you have an ego that needs stroking, Ikea is not the workplace for you.

A- Swedes are top-down decision makers, whereas Americans are more consensual
