Reflecteren kun je leren. Het maakt je een betere beslisser
De betere leiders denken na voordat ze handelen, maar ze zien en grijpen kansen terwijl anderen (nog) afwachten. Niet iedereen is echter een geboren leider, maar ze moeten het wel elke dag laten zien op de werkvloer. Volgens de Amerikaanse onderzoeker, auteur en kunstenares Nancy Adler ligt de sleutel bij meer reflectie, bij voorkeur met een papieren dagboek. Alleen dan geven we onszelf de tijd om naar onze behoeften te luisteren.

Meet the dean: Isabelle Bajeux-Besnainou of Desautels
It was with a sense of d茅j脿 vu that Isabelle Bajeux-Besnainou arrived at work last September to take up her post as the first female dean at 91黑料网鈥檚 Desautels Faculty of Management.

Dogfight: Inside the decades-long battle over Toronto鈥檚 Billy Bishop airport
Someone with a healthy streak for mischief must have come up with the idea to rename the airport on Toronto Island after Billy Bishop.
The 2009 decision to link the legendary First World War flying ace to the airport was meant to be a feel-good story: Bishop once ran a flight service for wealthy Torontonians from the island to Ontario cottage country, and the new name was a popular choice.

The bull in the China shop: Money managers short on history and long on panic
The money managers have started 2016 in a blue funk 鈥� but most are too young to remember what kicked off at the end of the 1980s and the fact that, with the exception of the instigator, we weren鈥檛 then doomed to years of economic gloom.
