I always like to read José Antonio Marina, as well as philosopher and essayist, is a specialist in intelligence and divergent thinking. Stitch does not wireless, as we stated in the 8 keys to face your fear.

Leaders and leadership

According to Marina, the fundamental task of the leader is emotional. “You need to know creating an environment for everyone to bring out the best of himself. Another feature that is defined by ability to see opportunities where others see nothing.

When evaluating a candidate for a management position, we recommend that there are features more important than intelligence, such as knowing how that person is able to bring projects into practice, Which is important. It is well to acquire knowledge, but the important thing is to know them apply to the real world. This skill has more to do with ability to withstand stress, to mobilize others to know and having an optimistic outlook, but not irresponsible, of things.

It is therefore important to educate yourself more from the work. We must promote entrepreneurial skills and profile to teach students how to move from one project to the action.

Changes in organizations

Marina believes that looming changes in the organization of firms. In the hierarchical function, which is above is the one who knows what to do, but environments today are too complex, there is no standard solutions that may include Also serve for a short time. So it is more necessary than ever Tapping into the knowledge of all The intelligence sharing The talent to evaluate projects and make up.

Earlier in Europe, we made fun of the Japanese systems, because listened to the ideas and opinions of the underdogs. Today we know it takes more time designing a solution, but are then much more effective. Must foster creativity by the need to find alternative we have. In addition, a skill much sought after is the ability to detect problems, but grace is to do that before they become problems.

Will and motivation

For him, it is true that you can not do things if you do not have self-esteem. The intention is precisely to do something when you’re not motivated to do. In the business environment, when you have to do something, you have to do, regardless of how you have the motivation and self esteem. Today it has lost sight that we are instruments within a project and this project can not fail as a matter of personal feelings. It is true that motivation is one of the main driving forces of human beings, but then they can not do anything without motivation there is a stretch.

Regarding corporate social responsibility, multinational corporations have found that work well on the field of CSR can create a strong link with the employee.



People who see all its future obligations as a mass of unstructured tasks, disorganized, mixed big and small, haphazardly. For this reason, your brain is quite busy processing many small details are not interrelated and they is impossible to distinguish the important from the trivial. This overload of the brain is called Flapsi Hapsi.

If you can avoid this problem, face the day with a high energy level, Which will keep creative and active during the day.

How can you keep up your energy level?

* Go for goals: Have set clear aims for the day, but be realistic. Otherwise, the result will be frustrating.

* Assigns priorities to tasks.

* Finish what you start: Many things have begun at once decentralized thinking. What is complete, gives a sense of accomplishment.

* Be kind to yourself: Take a few minutes a day to relax, walk or take a restorative nap. You’ll see how well the day you more rife.

* Take on the hardest or worst, first. Leave time for the trivial weak.

Furthermore, unloading the brain of all useless things you can, to concentrate on what’s important. There are a number of tips:

* Write your ideas in a list, When you can think of. Conscious brain to relieve the unnecessary burden.

* If prepare a plan for the next planning period, before the end of the current The subconscious brain working on the future plan without your account and you have new ideas to improve results.

* If you want to enjoy what remains of late when the job is, do not go without leaving all the ends tied, If only on paper. Leave the planning for the next day to see it on the table tomorrow morning.

I have read extensively on the subject and the idea what I like best is that of Guy Kawasaki.

His proposal is 10/20/30 rule.

A PowerPoint presentation or similar:

* should have no more than 10 slides with 10 important ideas,
* should not last more than 20 minutes
* and should not have fonts under 30 points

Also suggests what should be the content of the presentation and their order (it is intended for submitting an investment project, but is easily adaptable to other projects):

1. The problem
2. Our solution
3. The business model
4. Base technology / magic solution
5. Marketing and Sales
6. Competition
7. The Team
8. Projections and milestones
9. Status and deadlines
10. Summary and Action Plan

Another site where you can see good presentation skills is Presentation Zen by Garr Reynolds.

Also interesting is the proposal César MartínOf elevation on how to make a presentation.

1. Learn well your stuff
2. Do not use PowerPoint, you must be the center of the display. Use your product demonstrations, images that serve to support your speech. What is not relevant to disappear.
3. Start with 3 key ideas, develops each and ends with these 3 key ideas again.
