We are still dealing with people, not money. Money is not a human need. Money is a tool, and the way we relate to it shows something deeper. Money does not solve relationships, but it reflects them – the relationship with oneself, with one’s origins, with one’s vocation, with the different layers of everyday life. […]

Sitting on the terrace, sun beating down, no email, no meeting. Just be. And feeling bored. It is in boredom that new ideas are born. We don’t read emails, we … wood magazines. We don’t plan projects, we notice clouds. And suddenly… an idea comes. A feeling. A new view of ourselves, a new perspective
If leaders were more bored, we’d live in a better world Read More »
As it is customary in Estonia, Midsummer and Christmas are the 2 dates by which everything should be settled and in order – including strategies and goals. Just as around 70% of changes fail to work, around the same proportion of strategies do not materialise, according to various studies. No, it’s not about knowledge, action

Most leadership debates revolve around the same themes: motivation, accountability, performance, commitment, change management, relationships, effectiveness, strategy – in other words, leading the lives of others. Time shows that simply talking about them soon means repeating it all again – the same training, different trainers; the same inconclusive results, new strategies to meet targets. But

In the world of management, it is no longer enough to teach future (top) leaders to delegate, manage change, deliver results, conduct development meetings and use strategic tools to outperform competitors. The next level of leadership starts with the subconscious, not with strategy and management techniques. A leader’s most important management tool is his or

We talk about work-life balance in many companies, but why are team dinners at 18.30? Maybe why team-bonding happens when someone’s child falls asleep or a partner is looking forward to a little time together in the evening? I’ve worked with several teams to do things like Christmas lunches or different breakfasts, so that team

Sounds like maturity, right? Like the ability to be a bigger person, but in reality … the phrase is full of hidden struggle. “Smarter” implies a priori that someone is dumber. Perhaps with this sentence we do not solve the situation – we label, compare, measure. This generally leads to nothing but discomfort. One wins

Suvi. Everything should be light, airy, holiday-weary…But you’ve got a desk full of stuff. Because the parties are resting – you’re replacing, covering, reacting, producing results for several. Because you think that’s the way it should be and that’s normal, it’s always been that way. Does it really have to? 📌 It’s very OK that

This is a phrase I’ve heard from 5 customers recently. I understand that and sometimes agree that it is too early. I also understand that looking at leadership in a whole new way – not as a set of techniques, but as a consequence of the inner world of the person – can seem daunting.
This is a quote I heard one of the participants quote in turn. I was left thinking that it is a very true description of the mental heaviness that is rife in organisations. Mental exhaustion does not just come from workload. Indeed, it often arises primarily because people are not creating. Doesn’t create something that
