This morning, as we sailed to the island, I reflected deeply on how people from different backgrounds come together to collectively experience something. Just like in an organization, where people of diverse backgrounds meet every day to achieve something together. This boat ride reminded me that organizations are like boatsโ€”they must move in harmony, although […]

Leadership, in its truest sense, means exerting influenceโ€”whether through action or inaction. A leader inevitably affects us, creating situations where we become more dependent on them than necessary. The real question is how we respond to this influence. Do we continue in dependency, or do we develop the ability to stand up for ourselves? By

In today’s podcast withย Reelika Jeferjev, I shared insights from my time in Brazil, in the suburbs of Sรฃo Paulo. This experience has been enlightening, especially in the context of organizations, prompting me to reflect on how we shape leadership and work culture in Estonia. The leadership style here is strikingly different. Meeting with a local

What does observing others say about us and how can we discover our untapped potential through this?

Today Iโ€™ll have a great opportunity to speak at the Annual Service Conference organized byย ร„ripรคev. This time, I’ve chosen the topic of projections โ€“ how, in the workplace, whether dealing with colleagues or clients, we encounter individuals who irritate us, get on our nerves, or conversely, whom we admire for their excellent behavior, qualities, or
