Category Work Life and Leadership

About people, responsibility, and everyday work life. Here, I write about leadership, teamwork, organizational culture, and how we can grow together – whether we’re leading others or ourselves.

Det visuelle uttrykket forsterker temaet om grenseoppgang og balanse.

Idea Paralysis: When Big Ideas Get Stuck

Big ideas are not in short supply. There are plenty of them — good, well-thought-out, and visionary. Yet most of them end up standing still. Not because they’re bad ideas, but because they never get turned into action. In this article, I dive into the psychology behind idea paralysis — and give you practical steps to get started, before your idea fades away in your mind and someone else does what you thought of five years ago.

How the Bible Can Teach Us About Strategy, Leadership, and Adversity

The best leaders put their employees first. They build teams, give credit to others, and aren’t afraid to do the work themselves. And then it suddenly hit me—without being religious in any way—that I could continue illustrating my point by connecting the Bible and business, and decided to dig a little deeper into what it actually says.
