anemptytextllineEvery morning we wake up to debates about victims, aggressors, rights, false allegations... It is surprising, on the one hand, how many facts and figures are given, which are unrelated to each other and even contradict each other.

With posttruth installed in all spheres and ease of manipulation, what studies can we believe? -

anemptytextllinewhat do we mean by feminine management and masculine management? I’m against the idea of giving different genres to management. The problem today lies in the fact that society has established a certain leadership style as being the one that all managers should follow. As a result, an ideal of leadership is created, often by supermen, sometimes by superwomen, who manage to build teams, motivate them, understand them, have time to work out 1 hour every morning, do yoga and meditation in the evening, and are obviously very charismatic and always confident. Leaders who never get angry, who coach their teams, reassure them, explain things, who give guidance without micromanaging… I mean, you know… -

anemptytextllineI present in this post the inspiring story of Eiko Hashiba, a Japanese banker who left her position to take care of her baby... and created a financial empire 10 years later.
