Amplified Humanity

With the advent of Artificial Intelligence, we can see a new era of production and work on the horizon. The hope is that we will be able to get machines to do the things we were never good at, the ones that require physical strength, speed, weather resistance or are super monotonous. And then we could do the things we are uniquely good at. The human stuff. Creating meaning. Building Connections. Curiosity, reflection, art, creativity. Leaders and managers are generally not trained to amplify the humanity of the people they lead. [...]

Data-oriented team leading: Tracking skills and behaviours

We can do better than just “line manager to employee” feedback. A carefully made survey with a bit of data analysis can generate surprising personal feedback reports and also increase the team’s awareness. I am sharing my experience, toolset and insights after doing this in practice.[...]

Managing across Cultures

International management is a compelling topic. It is increasingly taught in the university syllabus to explain the roots of communication and management misunderstandings in a globalized corporate world. The design of this workshop is intended to be a bridge between various academic research and a pragmatic approach of real-world practitioners who are confronted with intercultural situations on a daily basis. Its aim is to demonstrate some simple, yet powerful tools that can help you draw value from diverse teams, build commitment, ownership, and collaboration in multicultural companies.

Human centric learning experience design

To lead and manage is essentially to help others learn and grow within the context of work. Outsourcing learning into the training room, conference hall or brown-bag lunch session is, while attractive, shortsighted. Managers and leaders teach, if they want to or not. They teach by how they act around others. They teach by how they communicate, by how they relate to their team, and by the way they accompany the processes of doing the work.[...]

Now the question is, why is that? Are these anti-virtual prejudices valid? And if so, what are the key factors which make virtual somehow more challenges, and what are the tested solutions which will bring success when leading virtually.[...]
