    Doua tabere sau o echipa?

    [ARTICOLUL DE DUMINICA] E de acum un truism faptul ca “seful” si “subordonatul” se plaseaza psihic in tabere opuse. E mult de povestit despre cauzele acestei confruntari perpetue si nu e timpul, nici locul sa aprofundez respectivele cauze. Dar as vrea sa scriu despre consecinte si alternative la aceasta stare…

  • Performanta se intretine tot timpul

    Rares Manolescu sumarizeaza cateva motive pentru care angajatii valorosi ar trebui tinuti in echipa. De asemenea, mentioneaza si cateva idei despre cum ar trebui procedat. Eu am retinut “intalnirile fata in fata”, pe care eu le-am botezat 121 (de la one to one). Le aplic de circa 3 ani, mai…

  • Cine investeste in educatie castiga pariul cu viitorul

    In Ziarul financiar apare un articol al lui Bogdan Georgescu care trateaza problema investitiei in educatie: In asteptarea lui Superman.

    Team velocity [3] – the entry points

    Teams are for the members what are highways for the cars. It makes no sense to have highways unless there are cars to use it. There are different types of cars, different age and different journeys to take on the highway. There are as well different types of human beings,…

  • Team velocity

  • Idei din sport pentru managementul echipelor

    Idei din sport pentru managementul echipelor

    Articolul de fata a fost inspirat de intalnirea, dupa mai mult de 15 ani cu antrenorul de handbal care mi-a marcat copilaria.

  • Mentoring journey

    Mentoring journey
