AS “THE CAUSE”
Cause and EffectTo solve a problem or to handle succesfully a situation we need to see ourselves as “the cause” of such situation.
• If we aren’t able to do it, it is the situation that is controlling us.
• If we are not capable of seeing ourselves as «the cause» of the performance of our employees, we are indeed leaving the control to them.

know what is he doing?• Whoever manages should be capable of attracting
attention and enthusing other people.• A common denominator of all good managers is their
ability to communicate, to be interested in the people they manage and to be able to understand the area of operations of their people.

• All great leaders have a goal/dream they pursue with tremendous intensity.
• Communication is possibile in presence of leadership. • Psychological competence.• A leader has to have the ability of feeling affection for the
people he manages (Empathy).• A leader should be able to get the people he manages to
develop affection for him.
