Three forms of leadership practice

I had a talk yesterday about a new leader in a local school. The word was I was much more comfortable with the previous one; here, we are not allowed to say anything or respond in any way towards selected ideas. I guess she is just a very different character. /…/ A character will onlyContinue reading “Three forms of leadership practice”

Initiatives for sustainable mobility

Sustainable is something, that can be sustained over time. Something that we can keep on doing or something that can keep on existing in a certain form over a long period of time.

Salomon’s advertising campain: This is running

We break down barriers; not records. We defeat our limits; not each other. I remember seeing this commercial by Salomon Group about a year ago. And to my mind, what it represents is a very healthy attitude towards running, towards sports, and pretty much towards taking any other path of growth in life. What itContinue reading “Salomon’s advertising campain: This is running”

AContinue reading “Responding to role in sport broadcasting”

Blinded by stardust

It is a sunny Sunday here, evening time and I just sat down by my computer after a long day. It started with an early bike ride at six o’clock, and ended with a late one that ended at eight o’clock in the evening. Through the day, two messages were swirling around in my mindContinue reading “Blinded by stardust”

Societal rules and individuality

One of essentials for societies, to live in welfare and to reach a certain level of quality of our lives, is an ability or capacity to collaborate and to show solidarity. But this solidarity means different things in different societies. A mechanistic solidarity is something that we attribute to a pre-capitalist society. It is aContinue reading “Societal rules and individuality”

In search of the Zarathustras

A real modern thought leaders, who would want their followers to truly develop and realise their potential, would tell their followers to doubt them (i. e. in the leaders), to not follow their way blindly and rather have their own minds, and to take a look and see the matter directly for themselves. This isContinue reading “In search of the Zarathustras”

Instrumental and Real entrepreneurship

What is entrepreneurship? What does it mean to be an entrepreneur? What is the basic purpose of being an entrepreneur? Instrumental social responsibility The topic is entrepreneurship, and I will first borrow a thought from theory of social responsibility to get my message across. There are several levels of socially responsible behaviour. In simplified terms,Continue reading “Instrumental and Real entrepreneurship”
