Spoiler alert: You're better than anyone ever led you to believe! If there were a magic formula for becoming the perfect leader, the world would be full of carbon-copy managers, all the same, all busy playing a role instead of being themselves. But...

I've always believed that a company's success depends not just on numbers, but on something much deeper. Over the years, working closely with entrepreneurs, managers, and SME teams, I've seen this intuition confirmed: the…
There is a managerial subspecies that is particularly widespread in offices around the world: the Sniper Manager. He prowls the company like an expert hunter, eyes trained on the team, ready to identify with surgical precision every tiny error, inaccuracy or detail out of…
Constructive criticism is an excuse, a figure of speech, a trick to criticize while deluding yourself into thinking you won’t pay the consequences in terms of motivation and involvement. Am I saying that no one should ever be corrected, trained or helped to improve? No,…

There are days when, entering the company, you feel that something has changed. There hasn't been an earthquake, no dramatic press release. And yet, the air is different. Maybe someone has left. A long-time colleague. Or maybe not, maybe a young person, a…

There are things we hear so many times that we stop listening to them. Like: “Time is money.” Too bad those who build value — with people, for people — know that time is much more….
A reflection born in the field, between silent offices, tired eyes and (almost) sparkling reports. There are moments, during my work in the company, in which everything — at least on paper — seems fine. The numbers are (all in all) good….
“And then there is what is simple, yet so rare” means that there are small, seemingly obvious things that never happen by chance and that, when they do happen, make a difference. In every company. You see it right away, when you enter…

Leadership, this mythical creature that sheds its skin every ten years like a snake with performance anxiety. First it was charisma, then vision, then resilience (whatever that means today). Now? We're talking about authenticity. But, as usual, between the…
This approach is called transformational leadership, a model that goes beyond simple management to become a driver of positive change. It is not just about giving orders or coordinating activities, but about inspiring, enhancing and creating a…

That is: if there is one thing these people do well, it is to fuel every social dynamic within three open spaces with the same depth with which a TikTok trend tackles the Divine Comedy. He answers you with grunts,…
In my work with entrepreneurs, managers and business teams, I often meet brilliant, technically impeccable people who struggle to achieve lasting results with their collaborators. Not because they are not capable. But because, simply, no one has…
In our view, in a world where technical skills are no longer enough, relational intelligence is what makes the difference between an ordinary professional and a leader capable of inspiring, communicating and creating trust. The course “Relational Intelligence…

There are two types of managers in the world: those who lead their team with vision and confidence, and those who even check the size of the margins in PowerPoints because “you never know.” If you’ve ever found yourself thinking:…

We talk. We talk a lot. We explain, we tell, we argue. We intervene to have our say, to convince, to demonstrate that we have the right opinion at the right time. But… how much time do we really dedicate to listening? 🤔 In the world of work (and not only) listening has become…
