Taking part in a recent event , one of the speaker at a certain point mentioned a sentence that made me think. We need to have the courage to settle for Good Enough Results sometime. Good Enough seems a sentence that underpins a failure, not reaching results. But this is only apparent. We indeed need to accept that we can’t be on top of performance every day. We can’t exceed expectations always. So I embarked in quick research to see if there is something more around this concept. MORE
What skills for the f uture of work ? The entire topic of The Future of Work is being discussed a lot.

What is the Meaning of Work ? I guess many of us have been raising this question over time. I have just recently celebrated my 20th anniversary of working, yet the true meaning of work can be sometimes difficult to grasp. For sure, Work is a foundational element in the lives of every individual. MORE

May 1st is Labour Day in most countries around the world. Although it still marks an ideological cleavage, as it was chosen as a date by the International, thus with a direct connection with Socialist and Communist movements, the sense of this day should not be lost. This year, this day of celebration is marked by the absence of workers , constrained in the most prolonged and most widespread lock-down in human history, due to the Covid19 pandemics. MORE
A few days ago, on the occasion of May 1st, I had writ ten a short post about “Rethinking Work”. In a moment where the Covid19 Pandemics seems to be at least partially under control, and governments around the world are all planning their “reopening” strategies, Work appears to be one of the big losers in the first impacts of the economic downturn. On the other side, there have been many calls to look at what can be positively built after this crisis. MORE
Is it time to re-think the Future of Work? We have spent the vast majority of the past decade to reason about ways to improve Remote Working.

Remote Work and Smart Work are two of the most used words in the wake of the Covid19 Pandemics. I have written before that the current scenario is forcing us into one of the largest technology adoption experiments ever , and this definitely has an impact on the way we work. However, I also think it is necessary to clarify that for many organisations this is simply a “transfer of activities” at home. MORE

The concept of Psychological Safety is not new. The term was used for the first time in the context of team performance by Amy Edmonson in a paper titled Psychological Safety and Learning Behavior in Work Teams , published in 1999. When the climate is psychologically safe, team members are not afraid to speak up; they engage in a productive dialogue that fosters the proactive learning behaviours required to understand the environment, the clients and solve problems together effectively.

VUCA is such a common acronym in today’s managerial jargon that many have lost a full understanding of what VUCA means.

The New Normal has been a trending topic in the last weeks, as commentators of many different kinds have been trying to foresee what could happen after Covid19 pandemics settle. The language of a ‘new normal’ is being deployed almost as a way to defeat any uncertainty ushered in by the coronavirus. But the reality is that there is nothing ‘new’, and probably we shouldn’t even be looking at going back to a stage of ‘ normal ‘. Amy Edmondson has been very clear on this in a recent tweet. MORE
What is the Value of Diversity for LGBT+ People? This question is not always easy to answer, as there are many factors to be considered. Assessing the value of Diversity at an individual level is not just a question of the business case. It is something that touches many facets of our personal experience: self-acceptance, awareness, authenticity , performance, management style and leadership, just to name a few. MORE
Behavioural Science is today one of the greatest contributors to the underpinning concepts of the Human Resources function. Which is why I tend to focus a lot on sources of thought in this area.

Over the past two decades, many organisations have launched programs in Diversity and Inclusion. In many sectors, however, data shows that these programs have largely failed. Data shows that especially in the technology sector, the number of Women and minorities employees is not growing.
