Point chaud - 芦Les vrais h茅ros, ce ne sont pas des gens comme moi禄
On a tort de consid茅rer comme des h茅ros les m茅decins qui travaillent en zones de conflits, estime la nouvelle dirigeante de M茅decins sans fronti猫res (MSF), la Qu茅b茅coise Joanne Liu, de l鈥檋么pital Sainte-Justine. Le v茅ritable courage est ailleurs, selon elle, mais il ne nous int茅resse pas assez.
When A Work Environment Is Too Positive
One of the biggest growth areas in research in management is the role of emotions at work. When I was working at IBM in the 1980s, if anyone got emotional during a meeting, we鈥檇 stop the meeting and have coffee, until everyone calmed down. This seemed to happen whenever emotion 鈥渞eared its鈥檜gly head鈥�. Of course, there was plenty of emotion back then, but we undervalued it. Analysis was sovereign. Things are different today.

Dobrobyt zale偶y od stopnia odpowiedzialno艣ci rz膮du przed obywatelami
G艂osowa膰 na prawic臋, czy lewic臋? To prawie bez znaczenia, gdy wyborcy szybko mog膮 rozliczy膰 polityk贸w. Dobrobyt nie zale偶y od wyniku wybor贸w, ale od tego, czy funkcjonuj膮 mechanizmy egzekwowania odpowiedzialno艣ci rz膮dz膮cych przed obywatelami i czy ludzie z pomys艂ami maj膮 dost臋p do kapita艂u 鈥� uwa偶a prof.
