Life is what it is, and accepting reality is something that organisations have to face every day. Organizations have their own rhythms and waves of siloing-collectivism, struggle-collaboration, recruitment-co-operation, ups and downs, etc. If we put energy into fighting it, complaining about it, and creating drama, we are only adding stress to ourselves, but not adding […]

As we grow professionally, it’s important to balance being active and staying humble. Being active towards all the problems we face is common corporate expectation, but sometimes being active is just to show that I’m active even though only thing you need is acceptance and being humble of circumstances. Being active helps us move forward,
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.

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
