The following pages are not intended to be a leadership manual written by an expert who legislates principles to follow related to the subject.
It is like a guidebook, a tourist guide, which presents you with places to visit, travel advice that the person who created it presents from his perspective and that you decide whether to visit or follow.
Like the places presented in the guide or the travel recommendations, the thoughts that follow are the result of years of experience, with ups and downs, with successes and failures, with lessons learned on my own skin and many, many interactions with people with different experiences, values, and cultures.
When we talk about leadership, we often open a Pandora's box. Most discussions on this topic give rise to heated debates, to small storms, because the need for leadership is immense. When we approach the topic of leadership, it is difficult to choose the starting point because this is a phenomenon, a complex process. That is why I preferred to approach its themes in alphabetical order. Of course, I could also address other notions, other concepts and the result would not be a guide, but a true treatise of hundreds of pages. Too much has been written and will continue to be written about. I chose to touch on only a few, limited by the options of the alphabet without diacritics, so that it is easy to navigate in a context in which we do not have time.
It is a guide that can be read over a coffee, during a break, over a glass of wine or in the evening when you analyze what went well or not.
Last but not least, this guide is not only addressed to those who have the status of managers, leaders or aspire to them, but also to those who want to be good comrades to those around them.
