Aligning Diverse Competencies

Harry* visited my clinic and requested for an anti-anxiety prescription. It was our first meeting. He was dressed bit shabbily and looked tired. I had a relatively busy day in clinic with scheduled visiting times. I asked few questions with his permission. He was under severe stress. The time for paying his home rent was[…]

Johtamisella on merkitystä

Eräänä iltana vastaanotolleni tuli tyylikäs 35 vuotias Maria. Hän aloitti keskustelun epävarmasti, sanoja hakien ja samanaikaisesti kyyneleet alkoivat virrata pitkin hänen poskiaan.

Annoimme Matille lyhyen raportin ja alustavia kehittämisehdotuksia. Hetken keskustelun jälkeen Matti esitti muutamia kommentteja ja tiedusteluja,[…]
