6 video call blunders killing your leadership presence

In 2020, people all around the world, from the youngest school students to the most experienced company executives, were forced to adapt to a new work environment.

Even though we have mostly left those dark times in the past, this newfound appreciation for online communication remains, and with that come new challenges.

For the past few years, thousands of leaders across the globe have been trying to manage their teams remotely, and video conferencing has become standard in plenty of companies. Yet, many professionals continue to use this technology incorrectly, which needlessly diminishes their leadership presence.

Uprzedzenia wobec *pewnych* kandydatów – porady, jak im sprostać!

W dobie globalizacji i mieszania się kultur otrzymujemy dostęp do wielu wyjątkowych możliwości, ale stajemy też przed nieprzyjemnym faktem o nas samych – wszyscy mamy swoje (nie)świadome uprzedzenia. Chociaż wszyscy wolelibyśmy pracować z ludźmi, którzy są całkowicie nieuprzedzeni wobec naszej [narodowości / pochodzenia / koloru skóry / przekonań religijnych / orientacji seksualnej / niepełnosprawności / wieku], nie sposób zaprzeczyć istnieniu zarówno bezpośrednich (jawnych i świadomych), jak i pośrednich (automatycznych, niejednoznacznych i ambiwalentnych) uprzedzeń, stereotypów i dyskryminacji.

How come some are on clear executive tracks, while some struggle to get ahead – yet others don’t even desire a linear career path?

There’s a science behind that and over 40 years of research of over a million career paths that give us clear hints on how to think (and feel) about career – as a whole – and our own.

Don’t we all want a fulfilling career? But how do we get there? Read more →
