Positivity Goes the Long Way
Friends often come to me and say, 'Hey Tim, you are so positive all the time - how are you doing that?'. One could say, oh, that is simply my character. It might be, though for me it is a deep conviction that positivity is the better approach to life . What led me to this conviction? There are a few elements which I would like to elaborate on here. First is simply neuroscience: when people are...

Delegating Power? Here is Why
People often see me as an evangelist for letting go of control. What I mean by this is a leadership style that is focusing on creating a platform and an environment for the organisation to be successful . Basically that is less of 'command & control' and more of 'facilitate & guide. In practical terms, this is delegating the relevant decision making power to the front. Ok, nice. "I agree with the...
Climate Change - Where Change is Happening

Leading Towards Success with Positivity
Yes, I am a positive person. I smile a lot and people around me tend to like the energy I am spreading. I hear that a lot and I am very glad about this. And for sure, this is a personality trait of mine. Though, I am also convinced that positivity is the right approach to facilitate change . Neuroscientific studies share that when we bring people into a positive emotional state, they will be more...

Magic Pill #1 - Reflect
When I recently talk to people, two things are striking: first, there is a year-end madness with huge workload; second, a big uncertainty looking forward. As a result, motivation is at an all-time low, talents are fleeing their safe jobs, and people dive even more into daily work because there seem to be no other solution. On my side, I am a big advocate for long-term success . When we want to...

Leadership Defines the Culture Fertile for Change
Since years, I am advocating that the traditional change management, enabling people to switch to a future state, needs rethinking. Our world has become complex and changes are happening faster and faster. This means the 'future state' is soon obsolete and we need to change to the next one. We are in a state of continuous change. This means we need to cultivate an environment that allows people...
