About us
Fire & Shield™ was founded in 2010 by Johnny Sørensen and Elize Dimare to spread the word of our concept of Fire & Shield™ – a simple leadership formula prioritizing feeling safe and maintaining a healthy drive. All our work is based on our own extensive leadership experience in combination with research and updated leadership theory. We strive not just to be consultants but leaders helping other leaders. By regularly taking on interim leadership assignments we are reminded of what hands-on leadership is truly like.

FIRE - Drive & Passion
FIRE enforces upward movement in a company; a controlled pressure to find your inner passion and deliver more than you imagined possible.
Through action, healthy feedforward and inspiring motivation you create change through “a true sense of urgency”, that is both viable and liveable.
SHIELD - Safety & Trust
SHIELD promotes a feeling of being shielded against unjust, irrational, and overly emotional decisions or behaviour, by building trust.
Through honesty, common sense and clear expectations you can create a basic sense of safety and a space where you can be your true self.
The interdependence between FIRE and SHIELD is illustrated through the matrix below.
"In my opinion, Fire & Shield™ is a strong candidate for one of the leadership methodologies of the future."

Creating FIRE & SHIELD
Building SHIELD in your organization is not about job security. It is about being employable; not doing the same thing day in and day out, and knowing why you do things, why they change in the short term, and what changes may come in the longer term.
Building FIRE is not about anxiety, but about excitement! It is about being challenged. Fire represents knowing you are accountable for your performance and that your colleagues and your boss expect the very best of you.
If you feel safe, you can cope with change and challenges and grow accordingly. If you feel others count on you to excel, you will dare to leave your comfort zone and reach for the stars.
Feel both and you are unbeatable!

"The immediacy, intuitiveness, and simplicity of the Fire & Shield™ method is something that resonated immediately with me. Not only as a leader but also as a colleague, parent, partner, friend, and member of society. The method affects you as a human being. It makes you responsible, but without the burdensome feeling of having to take responsibility. Instead, it empowers you while insisting on the balance between actions, deliveries, human understanding, and empathy, cultivating the self-respect we all deserve."
