A tribute to people

This is a tribute to these people. 


Not everyone here... some still working.





The day started just like any other Friday, even though I knew it would be a very long  and big day. It wouldn't be like any other Friday.

 Some worked all day long to put the party together. Others worked during the week to make the school look beautiful. There were those who planned fun activities to involve the kids. But there was no one, no one who simply did not take part.

 At the end, family came to pick them up. Some left to enjoy the rest of the night. Most simply wanted to go home and rest. I hope, however, that everyone left with a fulfilling sensation that it was all worth it. That promoting joy, happiness and laughs to others is a moment to cherish.

 It was magical to see these people enjoying time together. The focus were students and parents, but they have the talent to make every moment a moment to share joy, laughs and, for me, moments of personal growth.

 In fact, they were able to promote all those memorable moments to the kids because they make their moments together memorable. What happened today is simply what happens every day. It is a reflection of who they are.

 This is a tribute to people.

 Once, attending a seminar given by Doutores da Alegria, the most valuable lesson I learned - through jokes, obviously - was that we shouldn't keep positive thoughts and feelings to ourselves. Thus, after this long and tiring Friday, I cannot simply go to bed without paying a tribute to these people and to people who make others happy, who make others become better people.

    Beautiful and moving! That's the result of perfect leadership: people do engage! They commit themselves and have fun at the same time. Congrats, dear friend!

Just another love story

Cruwel and Saynt have been together for almost a decade now. Two kids, stable relationship. Of course they have their ups and downs, their cycles, but they always come out of it safely. They seem to think they are meant for each other despite the difficulties. Nothing exceptional. Recently, Cruwel was surfing the internet, you know, looking for fun stuff to take his mind off the daily troubles. He came across a post on 9gag . He decided to pose the question to Saynt. She came up with a long list of possibilities: artist, art teacher, biologist working deep into the forest to save endangered animals, bookshop owner and others he could not remember after a few seconds.  Bookshop owner. This seemed to be the definitive one. A bookshop with several storytelling time throughout the day and maybe with a café. Yes, this is it. Cruwel was more objective - as usual: I'd be either a sniper or a fighter pilot. The only detail was the jet, probably an F22 Raptor. ...

Responsabilidade x Accountability

Segundo o dicionário Merriam Webster online, accountability é a obrigação ou disposição de aceitar responsabilidade, ou dar conta/explicações sobre seus atos. the quality or state of being  accountable ;  especially   :   an obligation or willingness to accept responsibility or to  account  for one's actions; Já escrevi aqui algumas vezes sobre responsabilidade, porque sempre me incomodou quão facilmente indivíduos têm razões por não assumirem suas responsabilidades ou, pior ainda, transferirem a responsabilidade para outros. Alguma coisa como: Descobri que eu deveria ter escrito accountability nos posts. Em mais uma ótima entrevista no Mundo Corporativo da Rádio CBN , o palestrante João Cordeiro fala sobre a diferença entre accountability e responsabilidade. Como cidadão, ter consciência de tudo isso é um grande peso. Confesso que me incomodo profundamente com o comportamento de muitos colegas habitantes da cidade que têm nenhuma consciên...

O Código da Liderança

Ser um líder é um dom ou uma habilidade? Outra pergunta fácil. É uma habilidade. Sim pode ser desenvolvida. Essa mesma discussão surge quando se fala de professores. Ser um ótimo professor é um dom ou um ótimo professor pode ser formado. Idem. Em O Código da Liderança ( The Leadership Code , Best Seller, 191 páginas), Dave Ulrich, Norm Smallwood e Kate Sweetman construíram um código de cinco regras que são características básicas para a formação de qualquer líder. Os autores constataram que entre 50 e 85% das características de liderança são compartilhadas entre líderes eficazes. Por meio de entrevistas com diversos líderes, os autores concluíram que as cinco regras descritas no livros são as básicas para a contrução de um líder. As cinco regras estão apresentadas abaixo. Este post é o primeiro de cinco que resumirão as ideias de Ulrich, Smallwood e Sweetman sobre liderança. Regra 1 - Prepare o Futuro Preparar o futuro significa ser um estrategista, se...
