Este es el primero de una serie de temas de conversación sobre gestión. El nombre “Liderazgo 7s” se inspiró en el rugby, posiblemente el deporte emblemático de mi juventud y del país de mis padres, Gales.

Aquí están los primeros siete temas de conversación que abordan aspectos de liderazgo, entrenamiento y gestión.

Whispering AI specialists, the hushed virtuosos who coax meaning from murmurs, have quietly annexed the crown once worn by the “sexiest job of the 21st century”. (Apologies to Harvard Business Review; even the sexiest jobs suffer from inflationary pressures.)These soft-spoken savants are not merely surviving the generative-AI rollercoaster; they are redesigning the ride, adding velvet restraints and mood lighting. To avoid being flung into the souvenir shop of obsolescence, you must master ten career-extending hacks. Consider them the conversational equivalent of whispering sweet nothings into a supercomputer’s ear: intimate, precise, and oddly lucrative.

Leadership, wherever it is to be found, and it can be found almost everywhere, plays an essential role in everything, and it comes in all shapes and sizes. The subject of leadership, like strategy, is very close to me, and these are facets of my knowledge and experience that I constantly try to improve. Here, I am detailing some of the leadership points of view that I have developed or embraced to some degree or another. These are things that have also served to shape me and, more importantly, to bring me to where I now am: the village of Bandoxa.

Gif sur Yvette, 5th January 2018.
It’s that time again.

But, I’m getting there.

Remastered for 2026
I came across a blog post titled “The Best Big Data Quotes Of All Time”.

This is the first in a series of management talking points. The name Leadership 7s has been influenced by rugby, which is quite possibly the emblematic game of my youth and of the home country of my Mom and Dad, Wales.
