Two days ago, was March 8th The International Women’s day. A day set in our calendars to give voice to the fight against gender discrimination, aiming to a world more diverse, equitable and inclusive. As a woman, I’m a true believer that only working together with men, we can aspire to create better conditions for …
Leaders need to deal with uncertainty. To make that, they aim to a desired future chosen among all the possibilities. A destiny strongly dependent on what the organization’s purpose is.
