The LUCK concept – part 2 – Kognition!

Executing the LUCK concept Most customers ask me primarily for the “L part” of this concept. To establish a learning and developing organization is essential to a lot of us today.

Why working should be like a bluesjam – the death of zero sum games

Ever been to a blues jam? Or ANY jam, for that matter? Do it! If you live in a city with over 100,000 inhabitants it’s likely you have one. Find it. Visit it! It’s probably crowded. Why? Because we just LOVE it! It’s like life should be – and often is! In life, we don’t [...]

Less certain managers have more influence

Not surprised at all… All managers who apply a coaching philosophy to their leadership will be the winners in the long run. I come to think of the old saying in Sales “Selling is not telling”. Neither is leadership. More on this from Financial Post here

The last couple of days, I’ve supported organisations in leading change, adjusting means and measures, and attitudes to change. Have you noticed how things find you when you need them?

Working with the iPad #2 – predictions and planning

What we can learn from music festivals – avoid “me too” syndrome

In several countries music festivals die like flies in hot summer windows. They either close before even opening – or they go bancrupt with slim possibilites to pay artists and suppliers. Why?
