Yes, I know, it really is like this: we’re nervous, stressed, we’re in trouble. What we were troubled before, now there had to come this pandemic with its cohort of nefarious consequences… It is terrible that we are deprived of the freedom to decide our own actions. Where is the city’s mobilizing trepidation and especially…
Here is a true story that have just happened to a good friend of mine… The man goes shopping for Easter at the market. It was way past 11 a. m. a but he had enough until 1 o’clock… He walks by the bank and make a cash withdrawal from the ATM to keep him…
The stronger we resist, the harder it is to change what we do not agree! In English it is said shorter and rather clearer: What you resist will persist! When we see something that does not serve the purpose – especially at us but around us as well – we either pretend that we do…
A few years ago, I travelled to Morocco. Tourism. One day, Romanian and French friends invited me to a traditional lunch. I had then the opportunity to eat mutton (later I found out it was a ram…) and see the whole preparation process: from cutting the pieces out of the carcase (about 40-50 kg) in…
From the Cycle: “What a fool knows about chocolate… the tinfoil wrapping he eats and throws away the piece!” – anonymous saying I forgot to tell you (probably all this heat is to blame) … I found out that day that there was a lunar eclipse. Quite interested, around nine o’clock – ish, I…
I really like this dense presentation of Caroline McHugh. At first I didn’t know what attracted me most: the cut-out outfit from a modernist album about nature, her – at the same time – bizarre and appealing accent, the warm tone and calm posture (with something from the air of a Tibetan monk) or the…
Motto: Nonviolent resistance can become effective! Too often, unfortunately, freedom is understood as the right to do what we want, or what we like, or what suits us. Too often, starting with this attitude, we run into contradiction (or even conflict) with those around us, who in their turn may have (that beats all!)…
Millennials! It’s trendy to talk about them. HR people struggle to find their defining characteristics, employers try their hardest to understand them in order to “make use of” them as efficiently as possible, sociologists are breaking their back trying to conceive different scenarios as the future of the world is starting belonging to their hands….
Apparently, except that both could be passionate to obsession with music, there is little similarity between a conductor of an orchestra and a leader of an organization. But if we lean more carefully over this comparison, it’s very possible that we’ll have pleasant surprises! Here are just a few similarities that can be seen almost…
Motivation is a major goal for any manager or leader. As soon as they have managed to motivate the team members they coordinate (including themselves), no obstacle can get in the way of the achievement of the chosen objectives. Things clear up, self-confidence increases, solutions rise at every turn, all barriers “melt” in front of…
