MANAGEMENT

Personality vs. Culture

I’ve recently had the pleasure of meeting a very smart Top Manager, in my audience for a Workshop on **Cultural Differences**. He insisted that it is not correct to assume that people from one culture have the tendency to act in similar ways, while, at the same time, in different ways from people from another culture. From his point of view, it was all a matter of **Individual Personality**. I thought it would be interesting to share this with all of you.

MANAGEMENT

Motivation Butchers

By now, most of the leaders agree that one component that you need in order to succeed in your business is to be able to motivate your people. Having motivated people ensures your access to the infinite resources that the human mind can offer. In theory, almost everybody agrees that motivated people will decrease your production costs, will deliver the projects faster, will earn you more clients, will keep your clients happy, and will increase the overall value of your business. However, the behaviors and expectations, some of the managers display, really make you feel you are watching an infant trying to eat by himself with a spoon.
