La Matriz de Eisenhower: Una Herramienta para la Productividad

En estas épocas de crisis, es común que en las conversaciones con líderes empresarios surja que estos se ven sobrepasados por las múltiples tareas que deben realizar y confusos respecto al orden de sus prioridades. La clásica Matriz de Eisenhower es un herramienta que ayuda a identificar la naturaleza de las acciones a realizar y sus prioridades relativas. 

Businesswoman Marking Schedule
Reduce Chaos As A Business Leader By Using The Eisenhower Matrix
 “How effective am I?” This is a question we often ask ourselves in daily life. And it becomes a critical question if we run a business. Our effectiveness can play a key role in determining the success — or the failure — of a company.

Como Crear un "Elevator Pitch" Perfecto

Todos tenemos fallas de comunicación que nos impiden transmitir nuestras propuestas de valor de un modo efectivo. Descuidamos como hacer que nuestro mensaje impacte a su destinatario.

Tiempos de Pandemia: Ideales Para Emprender

 The pandemic is a great time to start a business. Here are 3 things to do nowPersonally, I don’t think there’s ever a “right time” to start a business. If you look at the last big financial recession, a lot of powerful companies came out of the housing crisis of 2008, and a lot of powerful companies failed. And if you compare that to two or so years ago, when the economy was arguably the best it has ever been, there were companies that raised tons of money and went on to be very successful, and there were also companies that raised tons of money and completely bombed.

La Persuación del Líder

Trabajando con líderes empresarios, muchas veces llegamos a momentos de verdad, en los que hay que enfrentar a quienes se oponen a nuestras ideas. Liderazgo supone el coraje de decir lo que se considera correcto, no lo que los demas quieren escuchar. La labor del líder supone convencer a equipo en el valor de sus decisiones. La habilidad de persuadir es propia de los líderes exitosos.

How to (Actually) Change Someone's Mind
 If you’re a leader, it’s likely that not everyone who works with you will agree with the decisions you make — and that’s okay. Leadership involves making unpopular decisions while navigating complex relationships with colleagues, partners, and clients. But often, you will need to get buy-in from these constituents, and therefore you will need to convince them to change their mind.

La Pandemia como Oportunidad para un Renacimiento

Podemos convertir la pandemia en un proceso de innovación para el renacimiento de la economía. Por supuesto, para esto necesitamos "líderes", entendiendo por ello conductores con una visión de progreso y valor para dirigir a la sociedad. Valor para decirle a la sociedad lo que necesita y no lo que ésta quiere escuchar.

The Pandemic is an Opportunity for an Innovation Renaissance
While confronting the Great Depression, Franklin D. Roosevelt rose to the challenge to innovate by enacting the New Deal and told Americans that “the country demands bold, persistent experimentation. It is common sense to take a method and try it: if it fails, admit it frankly and try another. But above all, try something.”

But one is surely this: keeping the drop in GDP in single digits actually looks pretty good.

Leaders themselves may think that loneliness is an unalterable condition they must endure. Well-intended advice to increase social contact seems logical since it is often assumed that loneliness stems from being alone or being the “only one.” However, the most important factor in loneliness is not the number or frequency of contacts, but a lack of meaningful connection with other people.
