[responsivevoice_button] Have you ever asked yourself how solid are the words you say in front of your associates, do they aim the mere essence of the challenge you are addressing and will the words you said make them change their behavior?

Més que un equipo
“In my search to understand life, I came across the opinion that life should be observed as some kind of large orchestra. It is not essential whether you and I play our instruments good or not, but it is important how we sound together. The only trouble with this theory is that it often happens…
All our fears
In the last few years, many corporations moved from the so called “golden age” of progress and double digit growth of their annual incomes into the “mode” of serious business transformations in order to fight the challenges of digitization and loss of incomes.

Once, they planted a linden tree
If you happen to be a leader with or without a title, or „alpha“ male or female or wish to become some of those, please halt for a while, think a little bit and ask yours when did you last inspire someone around you and in which way? And I am not talking about motivation,…
Are you ready to take over the risk for the people you lead?
Simon Sinek – one of the greatest leadership experts is engaged by worlds’ largest corporations to educate their executives. Besides, he is also one of the reasons I started this blog.

The night I swam across the Danube
…and that night I swam across the Danube… deep and dreadful. Forgive me big river, but I had to go across! It was the verses of Đorđe Balašević that inspired me to deal with the topic that torments all those who, for numerous nights, gazed at the other bank of the…
Leaders eat last
Which topic to choose for the start of this blog? I struggled with this question for many days, until I came across the book I read at the moment, the book that inspired me to stand in front of the mirror, think carefully what kind of leader I am and how the people I lead…
