A casa dos pombos era uma velha construção em decadência, metade tijolo, metade madeira. Os pombos, na quietude da casa abandonada, faziam seus ninhos e se reproduziam à vontade. Em dias de sol, sentavam no parapeito das janelas apodrecidas e ali repousavam, limpando suas asas para depois sairem em revoada, como se o tempo de permanência fosse cronometrada entre eles. Onde as paredes eram de madeira, empenavam com a chuva e enegreciam com o passer do tempo. O soalho apresentava um pó, revelando…

“A slew of research studies have proved that fragmenting your attention is neither efficient nor effective; and that actions undertaken literally with ‘half a mind’ or less show the results in lowered quality and increased mental stress”.Extracted from Slow Leadership July 3 2008
Multi-tasking is defined by Wikipedia as “the ability of a person to perform more than one task at the same time”. Initially this sounds like a skill we would all like to excel in but is it really servin…

Common sense, reason and personal experiences are the foundation to make decisions, as well as are the elements to orient our present and future. We even are capable of making decisions that will affect our lives 20 years ahead: getting marriage, smoking or not, or studying or not, for instance. We can in part predict our future in accordance with some of our actions. Nevertheless, over the road will be at a crossroad sooner or later. We must be prepared; the ability to maximize opportunities an…

“Commandment number one of any truly civilized society is this:
Let people be different".- David Grayson
When you think about diversity and differences in the work place, what comes to mind? Do you think about race, culture, age, gender, sexual orientation and disabilities?
Do you also think about accents, education, physical size, spiritual orientation, and political preferences? What about leadership skills, traits and behaviors?
Differences are limitless. What's key is our awareness…

This is the time to take a pulse on both your successes and unfinished business. What have you accomplished this year? What has your organization accomplished this year?

When it comes to design the overall strategy, we all use to strive in order to predict the future. Uncertainty is the principal barrier that we must overcome. What we do know for sure is that if we manage to anticipate the future, we will be much qualified to face challenges at all business spheres. In politics, for its part, challenges use to be more demanding.
In politics, scenario planning tends to be more difficult to apply than in business. Politics revolves around social behavior. It inco…

Dan Pink, author of the “Whole New Mind,” says we have moved from the agricultural age (farmers), to the industrial age (factory workers), to the information age (knowledge workers), and now we are entering the conceptual age (creators and empathizers).
This is a fascinating topic. It has to be with the inclusion of Right-Directed Thinking to achieve social and economy progress in today’s world. A whole new mind is welcoming to Conceptual Age, and as a result, the necessity to develop new skill…

"The key to sustained competitive advantage in any industry is not size, image, or technology. It’s talent, particularly at the leadership level. Your organization’s future depends on its ability to identify, retain, and prepare a dependable “bench” -- its next generation of leaders – continuously”.- Dr. Robert W. Barner

My research reveals that consumerism and the rampant consumption that goes with it has nearly run its course. People want a balance between consumption and creativity. Fortunately, the new communications and community-bulding technologies are helping to erode the old power structures and are giving a voice to people. Liz Sanders, you are right!

If your business isn't expanding or frankly is contracting these days, you may think on advertising as the most important tool to recovery. Some business still looking for the best media and conversion "per dollar" haven't realized that traditional media may not be strong enough. Expenses, expenses and bills and more bills. Where is everyone buying? Where is everyone looking for goods and services? Of course people have been refraining from getting into long term debts; still, people needs are r…
