If you have a boss. Or if you are a boss. ​ You know what moves your ass, right? ​ You know it perfectly. ​ “No trouble”. That’s it. ​ So sad, and so true. ​ “Don’t bother me. Don’t put me in trouble. Over average results, but not too much, otherwise, I don’t know what objectives, bonuses, etc. discuss with you… My biggest fear?

Specially in big corporations. ​ Being fired is the main worried of most bosses, screwed in a great seat with a good salary and the kids in private school, with the Audi Q7 to be paid yet, and the holidays to Mexico in a 4-star hotel already booked making the most of the latest promotion… ​ Well… now, you can do with this information whatever you want. Up to you. ​ I have a few ideas. You can pick up my brain in the link below... Only until 31 January.

Still companies squeeze to the bone salaries and benefits, and treat people like commodities… And honestly, they are not. At least, not yet… who...

Just yesterday, I had an interesting call. “What should I do if these guys are “locos”? Translated: What to do with a client that it’s not engaging? That’s a hard one. Let’s get more information: “Are they experienced?” “No” “Are they empowered?” “No” “Have they been instructed to give you nuts?” “Maybe” “Warm… Have you asked why **** is so important for them?” “No” “Warmer… Have you had recently a coffee or conversation with their bosses?” “No” “Ummm… let’s prepare an action plan” You can...
