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. I also highlight topics like mental health, workplace environment, and how to create safe, trust-based, and sustainable workplaces – where people genuinely enjoy being.
We speak up when something is bad, but when things run smoothly – we often stay silent. Maybe it’s not about how often we give praise, but how we give it. Because it’s only when praise is specific and given in the moment that it truly leaves a mark – both on the one who receives it, and the one who gives it.
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.
Documentation isn’t just about future-proofing – it’s a way to save time, money, and frustration. A well-executed AV installation shouldn’t be a puzzle that needs to be solved all over again every time it’s updated or fixed. Good documentation is just as important as the installation itself.
“If you’re not doing anything, you can at least pretend you are,” she told her employees. The logic? There’s only so long you can look productive before you actually become productive.
We’ve all met them – or maybe even been them: that one employee who always has something to criticize. Routines, processes, management – nothing is ever good enough. It can be exhausting, but what if complaining could actually improve the workplace?
Have you ever stopped and really thought about why you do what you do – both at work and in life in general? Is there a reason why children are experts at asking this question, while adults tend to stop?
How do we balance responsibility, health, and modern work styles in a world where flexibility and remote work are becoming the norm?
It’s often when we face the biggest obstacles that the most creative solutions emerge. Still, we too often set up mental barriers and reject ideas before giving them a real chance. That can be a major obstacle to progress.
A short rest can be a smart strategy to increase productivity, reduce stress, and avoid that familiar afternoon slump. Perhaps it’s time to consider rest as an investment in your workday?
