Governance

We talked, of course, about leadership, but above all about how control isn’t the best way to lead, and how to lead and engage the people around you—primarily through your vision and passion. How to lead through meaning, rather than through a hierarchical, control-based approach. We didn’t say a word about singing, so those of

There is resistance stemming from the fact that there isn’t enough information yet, and there is resistance that seems to be resistance for the sake of resistance, despite the abundance of explanations. It’s simply about being against it. It’s like a teenager, as one leader described his team. And the classic way to resolve this

That’s what happened when I walked through the door as part of a workshop and saw Katriin Jüriska looking back at me with a cheerful smile. After spending a few weeks mulling over what to do about finding a co-host for the podcast “Leadership Without Leadership” and letting the matter just settle in the hope

My journey toward a Ph.D. began at the start of the month when I read a research article with that title. I plan to share my thoughts and insights from my studies here from time to time and connect them to the issues I deal with in my work every day. After all, that’s why

We can’t see what we can’t see. We can’t manage what we can’t see. But these invisible layers seem to be the underlying cause of many recurring management challenges.

Since the book was published in print several years ago, but I recorded the audio version this spring, I found myself wondering, having just gone through the text again, what he meant by that. Based on earlier feedback, the book’s

I work primarily in Estonia and with Estonians, but I have an increasing number of clients from all over the world. I suppose there’s a logic to this, since my approach to leadership is somewhat different from what a traditional organization would dare to adopt.

I was hoping it would go away on its own, but of course it didn’t. I finally made it to the dentist, and it turned out I needed a root canal. Not just pain relief or a quick fix for a surface cavity, but actually going all the way down to the root and cleaning

In my book “Juhtimise jalajälg” I asked what kind of mark a leader leaves on people, an organization, and, of course, society. This book takes us one step further back in time and asks: what drives the leader themselves, and what is worth bringing to light? And further still, what ethical impact does leadership have
