Leadership & Communication Insights, January 26th, 2015

Published: Mon, 01/26/15

Dear ,

Welcome to the new edition of the "Insights" - I hope you have had a great start into the new year!

I have spent quite some time in January with my students at the university of Braunschweig. One of the topics we researched: the effect of psychological pitfalls on high performance.

Below you find an article about psychological pitfalls - I believe this is a field which every leader must be aware of and act upon.

In addition to this I recommend to check out my top 10 books on practical psychology.

Finally, on popular demand I am offering one more time my master class "Speak like a leader" on February 26th, 2015, in Brussels. See below for more details.

Wishing you a great week!
