Recently, in a training session with a group of new leaders, a topic arose: where does the boundary of good humor lie when it comes from a leader? Particularly tricky is when the leader grew out of his/her team and humor has been more on the lines of dark humor, sarcasm and irony. As always, […]

We talked a lot about leadership, self-leadership as well as temptations as a leader, organisational culture, pain and people-centred leadership, money and much more. Watch Chris Kala’s podcast on Youtube or listen on Spotify and have your say. Whoever writes

We often observe organizations (or teams) becoming entrenched in everyday problems, seemingly encountering a glass ceiling for development. No matter what efforts we exert, progress remains minimal. We attempt to introduce changes in structure, team dynamics, leadership techniques, implement new technologies, foster innovation, and provide continuous training for leaders and employees. However, these changes often
Feeling guilty about doing nothing is a common struggle, especially for entrepreneurs accustomed to constant hustle. I have realized lately that doing nothing isn’t laziness; it’s self-care and even more – it is a seed for the future trees. Embrace the freedom to just simply be. Remember, productivity isn’t just about doing more; it’s about
This is how Gedi Pรตder formulated bullying in her book “รpetaja” (“Teacher”). Bullying isn’t just in schools; it also exists in workplaces. Workplace bullying is something we accept far too much. Of course, no one else can make you feel smaller unless you allow it or feel it within yourself. But this already requires quite
What does this phrase mean? Are you not living your life every day and simply a quick tool for completing tasks?
If you feel like everyday life is pressing on you and days seem to blur into one gray mass of completing task after task despite your intentions to take more time for yourself, then ask yourself:

Being result-oriented and with mindset of end-gaining in organizations, we find ourselves caught in a cycle of change that only brings more changes, unfortunately without solving the underlying issues. Tensions accumulate over time and thus releasing them also happens gradually. However, in organizations, there’s often a false hope to resolve quikly the tensions accumulated over
Hippocrates said: “๐๐ฆ๐ง๐ฐ๐ณ๐ฆ ๐บ๐ฐ๐ถ ๐ฉ๐ฆ๐ข๐ญ ๐ด๐ฐ๐ฎ๐ฆ๐ฐ๐ฏ๐ฆ, ๐ข๐ด๐ฌ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ๐ฎ ๐ช๐ง ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ๐บ’๐ณ๐ฆ ๐ธ๐ช๐ญ๐ญ๐ช๐ฏ๐จ ๐ต๐ฐ ๐จ๐ช๐ท๐ฆ ๐ถ๐ฑ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ช๐ฏ๐จ๐ด ๐ต๐ฉ๐ข๐ต ๐ฎ๐ข๐ฌ๐ฆ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ๐ฎ ๐ด๐ช๐ค๐ฌ.”
He meant it in the context of personal health, but isn’t the same true for the health of an organization, letโs say the culture of the organization?
Imagine trying to mend an organizational culture, empower an employee, or guide a manager, only to find they’re clinging tightly to the victim state. Sometimes, people are afraid to get out of their victim state because it’s beneficial to them for some reason. So, if you’re going there to help them and make things better, you might just hit yourself against the wall.
What is this “holistic leadership trainer” – some esoteric fog?
I’ve been in the leadership training area for a solid four years now. About two years back Leena Kivisild tagged me with the title “Holistic Leadership Trainer.”
Both Leena and I have a background from the Holistic Institute in Tallinn, so we get the idea of what “holistic” truly means. But, every now and then, I see people assuming “holistic” is some kind of esoteric fog โ you know, the raise-your-love-vibration-and-all-problems-will-be-solved type of approach with no connection with real business world.
