When I work with managers, I occasionally ask them what they consider to be team No 1 and team No 2. Most of the time, I get the answer that team number 1 is the team of their subordinates. When you are the number 1 team leader, and your subordinates are your team, you will […]

Leadership is about creating a space where people can grow. And growth is development, not growth in the business sense.

Together with our good colleague Ain Mihkelson from Juhi5, we did a free webinar where we talk more about spiritual growth as a leader and also the need to be in touch with your deeper layers. Let’s take questions like: Are you aware of why you are the leader you are? What options are there
