Have you ever considered how much the meaning of our set goals can change over time? We live in an era where we often expect more from people than might be realistic. The history of our species stretches back hundreds of thousands of years, whereas the history of the organizational world is relatively short, about […]

While walking on a beach in Brazil, a small stream of water trying to reach the ocean ran right before us. Observing this gave me a deeper understanding of the flow of life and our tendency to try to control it. We attempted to create a new path for it to reach the ocean more

I have recently come to an important realization that has alleviated a lot of tension in my relationships and work: everything in life is temporary. From relationships to projectsโ€”every beginning will inevitably have an end. This realization might seem somber at first glance, but there is a liberating power hidden within it.

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
