A fascinating voyage through our solar system

Pubblicato il 7 Maggio 2014 da Susanna Massa

I admit it, I am fascinated by the vastness of what lies beyond the boundaries of our planet, sometimes a little bit scared too at the thought of being just a blue spot lost amidst the stars and planets and comets.

I have found another awe-inspiring interactive model of the Universe published by the BBC.

Bon Voyage!

Managers vs Leaders

Pubblicato il 6 Maggio 2014 da Susanna Massa

What does it take to be a manager or a leader? Have you ever wondered about the difference? It is something not to underestimate, and choosing to be one or the other can tell a lot about yourself.

The difference between management and leadership

Managers work to get their employees to do what they did yesterday, but a little faster and a little cheaper.

Leaders, on the other hand, know where they’d like to go, but understand that they can’t get there without their tribe, without giving those they lead the tools to make something happen.

Managers want authority. Leaders take responsibility.

We need both. But we have to be careful not to confuse them. And it helps to remember that leaders are scarce and thus more valuable.
