Summer Sabbatical 2015
The time for my second yearly Sabbatical has come. It is a time of year I try to release the pressure for my everyday activities and “recharge my batteries” doing other things or the same things with a different way!
Every year I try to take some time off, for myself and my family. I usually try to take some kind of a break 2 times a year, on February and August. These sabbatical have helped me to form many of the ideas and approaches I deal with in my blogs and triggered the development of...

The New Leadership
I had a terrible quarrel the other day with a friend insist that his team haven’t followed his lead! I ask him “How come?” and he reply that lately his associates “demonstrate” a more free-will tendency from the one he was able to allow to his stuff!

Ideas Factory
I rememberedlast night, some long tedious brainstorming sessions in my previous work, trying to find out solutions to some specific problems for adding value to the existing projects.
It was difficult discussions and an even more tiresome procedure, as a whole, held informally, about once a month among the senior consultants of my former company.
