It’s about a management model that keeps people in permanent survival mode. Wellbeing programs don’t fix a broken system. They just help people tolerate it a little longer. Organizations change only when leaders stop calling dysfunction “normal”and find the courage to question a model that moves from one survival crisis to the next. If this
I believe that many people who are involved in safety rules have been confronted with the situation that we talk and talk, but nothing changes. So yesterday, in my presentation at the Safety and Health at Work Meeting 2026, I took this as the theme – where does self-destructive behaviour come from. 👉 People don’t

I’m invited to work in organisations on quite similar topics – trust and accountability in the leadership team, collaboration, values, governance, etc. And more often than not, the conversation will lead to the fact that the topic being discussed is not the real “topic”. For example, if we are talking about trust, the issue is
Those of you who have followed me for a long time will know that I am increasingly questioning practices that have been in place for many years, because of the need to practice. Because the more I see organisations, the clearer it becomes that many of the classic management practices no longer work, even though
In a previous post, I wrote about why today’s way of managing is increasingly exhausting people and no longer works.

The turn of the year is something that makes many people think about their plans, wishes and goals for the new year. After about 15 years of managing various sales and service units, I am no longer a big fan of goal setting in my personal life, as it often repeats the human-doing part instead

I believe that for many LinkedIn users, and especially the 1% of users who post regularly and see other people in their field, it seems like it’s all just self-promotion on this platform. Who uses marketing vulnerability (I-had-a-vulnerability-I-was-avoiding-you-needed-to-learn-me-way), ultrategism (take-responsibility-do-be-effective-do-no-responsibility), or a search-for-potential-clients-through-a-questionnaire, or some other way. You can still see the sales ears from

In business, there are moments when someone breaks an agreement, breaks trust or clearly does the wrong thing. I often see an internal decision emerge afterwards:“I have to be right.” From that moment on, the situation is no longer controlled, but the situation takes control of the person and the matter is lost in the

Recently, a client described surviving through his coping strategies. Through not letting people get too close because people might leave, betray. So it is safer not to get too deeply attached to someone. He has had experiences in his life where loved ones and confidants have disappeared from his life or betrayed him. Maybe it
