Need An Excuse Not To Change Your Culture?
Um, hold on a second, just let me close the door to my office. The conversation was about to get a bit more interesting. I was on the phone with the Jan, the head of Human Resources of a privately held consumer products company. The company had notched 102 straight years of profit- until this last year. It was their first losing year ever. I was working with them to assess their current state, with a special focus on the company...
Guest Post: A Blessing and a Challenge for the New Year
Republished with permission from Masculinity-Movies.com by Eivind Figenschau Skjellum (video greeting at the bottom) 2014 has been a year of enormous change and growth for me and most of the people I know and love.
