This is where I write, infrequently, about sense and nonsense in the world of managers and consultants, things which occupy my mind, some serious, others funny and frank. The contributions are intended to entertain and to inspire further thoughts about the challenges managers have to face today – and tomorrow.
About formal authority, high flyers making hard landings, a paradox, dancing couples, human qualities, and the aesthetics of masterly leadership.
About combat Yoga, altruism drones, animal rights activists, the defenders of the eternal wellbeing, bullshit bingo in the economy section, and Zuckerberg’s contribution to our emotional competence.
About Wladimir Klitschko, managers in euphoria, ex-marines, boccia clubs, change management of the special kind, high level competitive sports, and heroes.
About disasters, how intelligent people get stupid, about culture, chicken, eggs, systems and human beings and about levers for the levers.
About athletes, the iraqi information minister, play dead reflexes, gun rampages, grazing cows, and crucial cultural questions.
About mindfulness beyond the hype, absurd marketing, Marcel Proust in thirty seconds, steamrollers, the meditative power of fishing, and about the question why mindfulness is worthwhile.
