LIMBO at Letní Letná

Screen Shot 2016-08-27 at 20.06.29

The Letní Letná festival of New Circus is back and well underway in the Czech capital. One of the headlining acts this year is LIMBO, a production which has gotten rave reviews, was reportedly seen by Madonna (twice) and, not surprisingly, has sold out. I was lucky to meet up in the Spiegeltent with troupe member Mikael Bres who told me all about the show, described as Heaven can wait – this is one hell of a party.

“Hello, I am Mikael Bres, one of the performers in the show. I do a Chinese pole act, where the pole is about six metres long, so I do a lot of jumping around, flying around and falling, not on the floor of course. I catch myself just before the fall. I also do some of the music, some Beat Box, some guitar and some clowning around.”

The Guardian described as one of the most significant moments a part where you act with a feather…

“That’s right and that was a moment which we came up with right when the show was being put together and first performed. I was doing my act and I found a feather which was stuck at the top of the tent and I decided to drop it. The effect was immediate and people liked it and the director said ‘keep the feather’, so I did.”

For people who haven’t seen Limbo yet, you let it go…

“I am really at the top and I drop the feather down. And I wait until the feather is about halfway and then a slide down the pole super-fast. Sometimes, though the rush of air as I come down causes the feather to flutter or swoosh away but even then I catch it.”

Fryday Forum Diplomatic Spouses

On the 31st May 2016, the Anglo-American University, in cooperation with Mr. Hans Weber, Managing Partner of Fryday Prague and main organizer of the event, hosted another diplomatic event, this time with the 4 spouses of the Ambassadors of their respective countries: Mrs. Odilia de Ranitz (Netherlands), Mrs.Tamar Newberger-Schapiro (USA), Mrs. Miriam Prata (Brasil), and Mr. Paul Hermans (Belgium). The guests discussed the role of the spouses in the work of Ambassadors, revealing that it is substantial and not only purely procedural. The audience, besides students and business leaders, included various spouses of diplomats too. A dinner for selected participants, as usual at the Marriott Hotel, followed.

Ivana Hlavsová

 

“Good Diplomats Are Looking for Challenges Even at Easy Times.”

 

2I was looking forward to using the opportunity of accompanying my husband as a spouse to Belgrade to interview H.E. Ivana Hlavsová whom I consider one of the most expert and also universalist career diplomats I have ever met. Flying to Belgrade with Air Serbia on ATR 72 already made me nostalgic and reminded me of my diplomatic travels to Luxembourg, since it was operated by the same type of aircraft. But I was curious to hear about the more substantial changes that have taken place in diplomacy in recent years, besides the fact that most travels have become more comfortable. The nostalgic mood continued when I was in Belgrade. Friendly, welcoming people, language and culture similar to ours, I remembered not only my trips to former Yugoslavia but also my studies and research about pan-Slavism. So the second issue of Slavic brotherhood became imminent given the expert background of Mrs. Hlavsová and her profound knowledge of the region. Regular readers would have probably guessed by now that leadership and women in diplomacy represented the last topic discussed.

Mrs. Ivana Hlavsová originally graduated from the Czech Technical University in Prague?. After her experience in private sector, she joined the foreign relations department of the Office of the President in 1992; since 1993 she has been working at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Throughout her diplomatic career, she was appointed to several leading position in various sections and departments at the MFA. Her career journey so perfectly demonstrates how versatile and changing diplomatic service can become. She led the Diplomatic Protocol department, became the General Consul in Los Angeles, then director of the Americas’ Department; later she was appointed the executive director of the Czech Task Force for the NATO Summit in Prague, and was also leading the whole Personnel Section of the Ministry, was an ambassador to Slovenia, director of the South and Southeast Europe department and in January 2014, she was appointed as the Ambassador to Serbian Republic. She speaks three foreign languages fluently and can communicate in Serbian.

Mrs. Hlavsová, you will celebrate 25 years in diplomacy next year. That truly confirms the saying that diplomacy is not a just an ordinary profession, that it is a life mission. 

Looking back, if someone had mentioned to me before 1992 that I would dedicate my life to diplomacy, I would not have believed it. On the other hand, such a change depicts the fate of many people of my generation. I studied at the university in early 1980s and I opted for the technical background because the humanities were very much ideologically influenced by the communist regime. So the specialisation “Automated Control Systems” seemed a good choice. After the Velvet Revolution, I started to work on joint projects with an Austrian company but I found difficult to balance my career with the care of two small children. It was by coincidence that I saw and advert for a position at the foreign department of the Office of the President.  Since I spoke three foreign languages, I decided to give it a go. I was hoping to visit Prague Castle and perhaps have a glimpse of Václav Havel, but nothing more. To my surprise, I received a cable from the post office about me being accepted. So I started in 1992, but soon after the elections came which heralded the dissolution of Czechoslovakia and led to Vaclav Havel’s stepping down from the office. My boss at the time, Alexandr Vondra became the First Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs and so I followed him to the Czernin Palace. Even at that time, I was still considering a diplomatic career as a temporary issue. But as you mentioned, next year, I will celebrate 25 years being in the foreign service.  The beginnings were fascinating and challenging at the same time. At the age of 33, I was the Director of the Diplomatic Protocol Department, the very post often reserved to the most senior ranking male ambassadors. At that time, there were only two women on the same position in the whole Europe – my colleague from Sweden and I.

You mentioned how fascinating the period of the first decade of the Czech foreign policy was.  Within a decade, we managed to enter NATO, the EU and organise the NATO Summit in 2002 that was the unprecedented multilateral event ever held in the Czech Republic. But now, the diplomacy has become much more “ordinary” business as usual.  How do you reflect on such change?

Looking back, we have managed incredibly fast to fulfill the strategic goals that we set up in early nineties. In addition to the entry to NATO in 1999 and entry to the EU in 2004, we should not forget entry into the Schengen zone in 2007 and the EU Presidency in 2009. So it might seem that we have achieved the goals. We have had other goals since then, but they might not be perceived as spectacular when compared to those already mentioned. We have had to define our position both in NATO and in the EU, and also on the level of international community as such. The world is changing and we have to continue to learn how to face new challenges, such as terrorism. This work is ongoing. Overall, the fact that the so-called “existence” substantial issues are lacking means that they have been fulfilled and that is very positive fact. As we see new threats coming on the horizon, I am not afraid that the life and work of diplomats would be dull and boring in anyway.

You had been ambassador to Slovenia, now you are in Serbia. What brought you to the region of Southeast Europe?

You mentioned yourself that diplomacy is a civil service and the possibility to choose a country or a region exists but it is limited especially on the ambassadorial level. So again, it was a coincidence in the beginning. I opted for Slovenia both for professional and family reasons as I preferred a destination in Europe. I experienced EU Presidency of Slovenia in 2008, followed by the Czech Presidency of the EU in 2009. So again, it was quite a unique moment. Then I became in charge of department of the South and South East Europe; just to explain, it means covering the region all the way from Belgium and France to Turkey, with the Balkans in between. After four years, there was a possibility to go and serve in Serbia. For a professional diplomat, it is an extremely interesting country, since it is on its way to fulfill strategic and economic goals and it is also a key player in the Balkan region.

Now, you being very familiar with the region, how do you see the issue of Slavic brotherhood. Is the saying that “A Slav has a brother everywhere” still valid or did pan-Slavism die at the end of the 19th century?

Let me point out that my answers will be specific with regards to South Slavs and their relations to the Czech Republic. I have experienced Slovenia as well as Serbia, I have travelled elsewhere in the Balkans and I confirm special ties exist between the Czechs and south Slavic nations, including the Croats, Bosnians and Montenegrins. It is hard to say whether it is more due to shared history or it comes from ethnic roots. My personal observation is that ties from past are still considerably influencing current relations. Greater part of the Balkans used to be a part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and I see many personal and family ties that translate into mental ones. The Czechs and Slovenians used to be particularly close as they were the only two Slavic nations in the Austrian part of the Monarchy. Last but not least, language similarity plays a considerable role in easier mutual understanding. The case of Serbia was totally different, but they also played an important role. As Serbs gained their independence already in the 19th century and so together with the Montenegrins they were regarded a symbol of Slavic fight for independence in the Czech lands. The answer to your original question perhaps got more complicated but the fact is that there are no easy and straightforward answers in the Balkans.

You touched on the importance of historical roots that were supported by intensive diplomatic ties during the first Czechoslovak Republic. How much were the relations affected by the wars during 1990s?

The answer to your question is linked exactly to the excellent diplomatic relations with the countries of the so-called Small Entente, an alliance formed by Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia and Romania in 1920 and 1922, further supported by France in bilateral treaties. It is no wonder that the exquisite and large building that our embassy is located in dates back to 1920s and together with embassies in Bucharest and Paris, these buildings belong to the most beautiful representative buildings we have ever had. This very fact shows the importance of the mutual relations that lasted until the World War II. Following the relationship built throughout the 19th century, many Czech and Slovak artists, architects, engineers visited the region and continued fostering mutual relationships that went far beyond the horizon of the top political and diplomatic relations. The importance of the Small Entente might have been forgotten in the Czech Republic; however, it is still very well remembered and recognised here. The next historical moments are represented by the Velvet Revolution and also by the Velvet Divorce, both of the events highly valued given the violent fate of the region in 1990s. The consequences of the conflicts, not only political, but also economical can be still witnessed until today. The overall frustration and despair over the lost decade is still present. However, back to bilateral relations, as they were built on the solid foundations, they continue to be very positive. We touched upon all similarities and common shared history.  The Czech Republic is a proud partner to support Serbia in reaching strategic goals, particularly joining the EU.

Last but not least, this question will touch upon the issue of women in diplomacy. You mentioned that in the early stage of your career, there were the only two women on the position of the Director of the Protocol. How is the current situation at the Czech Ministry of Foreign Affairs?

I regard this question to be the most difficult of those you have asked. For twenty years, since I have been in the leading positions at the Ministry, I have been interested in this issue.  I did my own statistics with regards to the number of women at the top positions, such as General Consuls or Ambassadors. We have not managed to exceed considerably the steady number settled at around ten percent. The trend of the so called “leaking pipeline” that is known from the corporate world is also present in the public service. Women still make up 50% or even more at the Diplomatic Academy, which is the entry level to the Ministry. To be fair, diplomacy is more difficult for women at the early stage of their career when they are having children. Even though we made sure that maternity leave period would be counted as a period of work according to the Career Code that determines promotions. Greater interest of young women in entering diplomacy is also due to the fact that diplomacy is a part of state service administration which guarantees a stable and steady income. Several years ago a kindergarten was opened at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and we managed to introduce “job-sharing” to offer part-time work for women returning from maternity leave.  So, overall the situation is improving. What is interesting to mention is that there are more women in leading positions in the public service in the Balkan region. This might be one area where the region can be inspiring for us.

Round Table with Adriana Krnáčová

Discussion with Adriana Krnáčová, mayor of Prague 

On June 21 the traditional discussion event “Round Table of Comenius” took place in the Congress Centre in Prague, this time with the mayor of the Czech capital city, Adriana Krnáčová. Former successful businesswoman and historically first woman to be the mayor of Prague started the discussion by reviewing some of the achievements of Prague since she was elected and thanked the longtime partners that have aided in those accomplishments. Furthermore, she introduced the shape of significant strategic and metropolitan plans, the likely expansion of Prague in future decades and security of the capital city.

Jiří Rusnok

 

“Success hinges on our ability to address the market.”

 

Mr. Jiří Rusnok (55) was appointed the new Governor of the Czech National Bank for a term of six years starting on 1 July 2016.

Mr. Jiří Rusnok (55) was appointed the new Governor of the Czech National Bank for a term of six years starting on 1 July 2016.

“I am greatly honoured to be able to stand at the helm of this unique and internationally acclaimed institution. My colleagues and I will do all we can to ensure that all the tasks conferred on us by law, particularly in the areas of price and financial stability and financial market supervision, continue to be performed with the utmost expertise and care and to the benefit of the Czech economy,” said Mr. Rusnok.

Mr. Rusnok serves as the fourth governor of the CNB since its establishment in 1993. His predecessors were Josef Tošovský, Zdeněk Tůma and, most recently, Miroslav Singer, whose current mandate expired in June 2016 and could not be extended.

Mr. Rusnok has been a member of the Bank Board, the supreme governing body of the CNB, since March 2014. He decided to step down prematurely due to the requirements arising from European law, which stipulates that a governor of a national central bank is appointed for a term of office of at least five years.

Mr. Rusnok is an experienced Czech politician and economist.

In the 1990s, he worked as director of a department of the Czech-Moravian Confederation of Trade Unions. His political positions included Minister of Finance from 2001 until 2002 and Minister of Industry and Trade from 2002 until 2003. Among his professional appointments were President of the Association of Pension Funds in 2005–2012 and President of the Audit Public Oversight Council. In 2010–2013, he was a member of the government’s National Economic Council (NERV). From July 2013 until January 2014, he served as Prime Minister of the caretaker government.

Mr. Rusnok, your appointment has raised high expectations both among supporters of adoption of the single currency and among those who disagree with the policy of currency intervention and weakening the Czech crown in order to support Czech export trade. What is your vision with regard to the activities of the Czech National Bank? And to what extent has this vision been influenced by the recent Brexit referendum vote in the United Kingdom?

My role as Governor of the Czech National Bank does not translate into being a supporter of any particular interest group either in society as a whole or in the economy. My task is to govern the central bank together with the other members of the Bank Board in order to fulfil its role in accordance with the law, that is to maintain price stability, supervise the financial system and support its balanced development, and ensure smooth circulation of money and smooth payments.

Which tools we use to attain these goals always depends on the specific circumstances and conditions in the economy. Given this context, Brexit is only one of the circumstances, or uncertainties if you wish, that our decision-making must take into consideration.

Your communication skills have often been mentioned as a big advantage in comparison to your predecessors. The fact that already during your second week in office you organised an informal breakfast for journalists, supports this contention. How are you going to use this strong skill? And what is your notion of leadership and what other leadership qualities do you consider important?

I do not like to judge myself. I leave that to others. As you mentioned, communication is truly essential, even for the central bank. Our success hinges on our ability to address the markets – in terms of both experts but also the wider public – and to explain why we take certain steps. Only in this manner can we fulfil the mandate given to us by law.

Your experience is vast and diverse. It comprises not only high political functions, but also leading positions in professional associations. Despite the fact that the position of central bank governor is not political, many commentators consider your political experience to be your advantage. On the other hand, you seemed not to miss top politics, as you made remarks about the “unprecedented pressure” you faced when you were Prime Minister. Is there anything you miss about top politics?

I definitely see myself as being practically oriented, so expert and management roles are the ones that come most naturally. The position of governor is somewhere in between a pure expert position and politics. I therefore hope that I will be able to successfully make use of my experience combined with my skills.

With regard to the decision not to adopt the single currency any time soon, which central banks might serve as an inspiration and which ones might be useful for closer co-operation with regard to the EU’s banking union project?

Formally speaking, the Czech Republic is still obliged to adopt the single European currency. However, we have the possibility to decide when we will do so. The Czech National Bank is part of the European System of Central Banks of the EU28 countries. We have very close ties with other central banks all over the world. The Czech National Bank belongs to the group of ten central banks that established and then successfully implemented inflation targeting. Our technical know-how in this area is highly valued and we are one of the top players in this area.

It seems that you are quite successful in protecting your private life. What are your hobbies and what is your approach to work-life balance?

I try to live a normal life. It gives me the necessary freedom and inner balance. I strictly separate my private life from my work. I relax in the great outdoors. I like gardening and sometimes even doing some sports.

As a supporter of diversity, I cannot refrain from asking why there are no women represented in the current Bank Board. Do you see it as an issue?

Right now, there are no women represent- ed, but this has been the case for most of the modern history of the Bank. We will see next time, during the next round of rotation. Then the situation might change. Last but not least, the Bank Board members are nominated by the President of the Czech Republic. It does not fall within my competence.

What are your final words for Czech and Slovak Leaders readers?

I send my regards to the readers, I wish them all the best and I assure them that they do not have to be concerned about their savings and about the stability of the Czech currency.

New Paths in Medicine

pilny-sliderA possibility of immediate communication with a doctor brings along its advantages. Sensors monitoring life functions can instantly send your doctor an emergency signal. Thus, health care is reaching a new dimension. Thanks to these sensors, doctors get instant access to the data on your health condition and we may be under their continual supervision. Just in case they cannot provide the treatment from afar, visiting them in person is necessary. On the other hand, this situation brings along certain risks too. Diagnosing yourself based on the data from the Internet or sensors may not only be wrong but dangerous too. On the Internet, we can find plenty of unproven and controversial facts; it definitely pays off to leave the diagnosis to doctors.

A research carried out in the USA showed that six out of 10 Americans diagnose themselves wrongly based on the data found on the Internet. There is definitely no threat of making doctors redundant; this is rather about rationalising their work and improving the process of diagnosing thanks to the possibility of continuous patient´s monitoring remotely with no necessity of personal visits or even hospitalisation. Development and price reduction of sensors will make health monitoring easier for them. Then, people themselves may adjust their behaviours, eating habits and exercising based on the data collected by sensors. Blood pressure or heart rhythm record may serve us as an indicator of possible stress in various situations, which then can be handled better or avoided. However, doctors cannot become mere data collectors. Seeing patients and talking to them is still necessary for determining the correct diagnosis and treatment. Data alone will not improve the health care, which can also be seen in researches from the USA, where the government gave billions of dollars to health data processing and the results are unconvincing. In addition to other aspects, this is also caused by a great issue with its unified structure because the data comes from plenty of varied sources. Just like in any other big and complex IT system, health care also needs pilot tests and gradual removal of mistakes. After all, it is our health which is at stake, not a car register J. “Doctor Algorithm” may not win over “Doctor Human”. They just cooperate.

For those who are used to exercising or moving regularly, it is natural to record their activities and monitor their targets. All this data also impacts prevention which radically influences or completely removes the causes, not only results of health problems. There are thermometers-pills which you can swallow – these are for example used to monitor the temperature of sportsmen during their exercise. Medicine has also progressed in prevention and new diagnostic models. Thanks to the digitalisation of the methods of human genome sequencing, the cost of determining a diagnosis went down from 100 million dollars in 2001 to 10,000 dollars in 2011. This alone means a breakthrough in diagnosing mental illnesses and enables us to solve the causes not the results. However, “playing with genetics” may also bring along serious human, philosophical, and social questions. Thanks to artificial insemination you can have a child with anybody who has a suitable genetic material, so genetic material may not only cure but can also modify and clone the population. Discovery and development of the cure against dementia may lead to a conclusion that retiring from work is useless as brain generally benefits from physical exercise, work, and intellectual activity.

Life Is Beautiful Part III: Your Amazing Brain!

“The human brain has 100 billion neurons, each neuron connected to 10 thousand other neurons. Sitting on your shoulders is the most complicated object in the known universe”. —Michio Kaku

james-cusumanoMark Waldman and Andrew Newberg are a talented team of neuroscientists, who have taken complex findings in brain science and made them understandable for non-scientists. Waldman has written more than 12 books on consciousness and its intersection with neurobiology. He summarizes his overall findings by saying that “Life is simple, and satisfaction is easy to attain, but the human mind is blind to this fundamental truth” As we shall see, there is a good reason for this blindness. However, the brain can be taught to “open its eyes” when necessary to achieve happiness and fulfillment.

I would like to share with you 10 important findings that Waldman has distilled from his research efforts with Newberg.[i],[ii],[iii],[iv]

  1. You experience is not the true reality that exists outside of your mind.

I have discussed this extensively in a number of prior articles. Waldman points out that one of the reasons for this inaccurate view of reality is that our five senses gather information from outside world in a way that enhances our chances for survival.

As species became more complex through the evolutionary process, they develop an increased number of sensory organs. Consider the 3.5 billion year evolutionary path from bacteria to humankind. For example, our eyes react to light waves in our environment which in turn activate the color cones in our retina. This information is then sent to the visual cortex in our brains where something we call color is encoded with certain names, e.g., red, blue, green, for later identification and use. However, there are no colors in the real world, just an infinite number of vibrations in the electromagnetic energy spectrum. Interestingly, the part of our brain where we “see” the world is in our frontal cortex and only minimal information is sent to it by our visual centers.

As Waldman states, “What we see is more like a movie that blends light waves and sound waves and inner emotional experiences into a story that is far removed from the reality that actually exists. All neuroscientists agree with this premise, which is why they love to study optical illusions.” 

  1. Consciousness is created in the brain the moment we wake up and voluntarily move our body.

I have a somewhat different view on this point, but the outcome is the same. From my studies, I believe your Personal Consciousness (You might call it your soul.) is infinite and eternal and it creates your mind, not the converse. Thus, your mind becomes aware of your existing consciousness the moment you wake up and voluntarily move your body.

This point is related to what neuroscientists and philosophers call the “hard problem,” namely, explaining the relationship between physical phenomena such as those processes which occur in your brain with your experiences of consciousness. Scientists know that dopamine, a pleasure neurotransmitter, is released in the motivational center located deep within what has become known as your “ancient brain”. This neurotransmitter stimulates an area in your frontal lobe, just above your eyes and makes you aware of the outside world. If the stimuli—sight, smell, sound, touch—are pleasurable, then this sense of consciousness, which is believed to occur in all mammals and many other organisms, entices you towards the object of concern. However, if it is threatening or unpleasurable in any way, then your pain centers are activated and you retreat from the stimuli.

  1. A single neuron has qualities of human consciousness.

Now this is truly amazing! Noble laureate Eric Kandel showed that a single nerve cell from a sea slug can be trained to be curious about its environment. To do this, the slug grows more dendrites and axons from the neuron body, which allows the cell to send and receive many more messages between it and neighboring cells. A single neuron can store these messages in its “memory.” If, for some reason, it is traumatized by its environment, it retracts its dendrites and axons to demonstrate its “fear.” Thus, even a single neuron nerve cell is capable of demonstrating pleasurable motivation, anxiety and fear.

  1. Normal consciousness can only hold about four “chunks” of information in its working memory for a brief period of time.

To clarify, I believe your Personal Consciousness can hold nearly an infinite amount of information. However, that miniscule part of your Personal Consciousness which is accessed by your mind is much more limited, unless trained to do otherwise.

Most of us believe that at any given time, we are conscious of hundreds of physical things in our environment—colors, sounds, movement, our goals, etc. In truth, Waldman and Newberg find we are only capable of being simultaneously cognizant of a few chunks of information, where a single word is a chunk. Thus it is nearly impossible to recall a sentence, which has more than eight words. Can you recall any of the previous sentences? Sure, you can memorize a sentence, but that is an entirely different exercise than instant recall. Most important, it is very difficult to focus simultaneously on a pleasurable and painful memory, which is why some psychiatrists encourage patients to focus on a pleasurable memory when anxiety or depression kicks in.

  1. Memories are not real.

Feelings and memories have less to do with the present moment, although we sometimes forget this is a fact. It is particularly important when considering the challenge of unpleasant and fearful thoughts. Why is this?

Our brains prefer to embed negative memories because historically, we needed to respond to threats much more quickly than our conscious minds could respond. This is an evolutionary protection mechanism. For example, you go to step off the curb into the crossing and see a speeding car a few meters away. Immediately the consciousness sensors in your frontal lobes turn down their sensitivity and your instinctive reaction takes evasive action. Sometimes the entire fraction of a second event can seem like a slow motion movie. Waldman says that this is because your everyday consciousness slows down and you “ancestral” protection consciousness or awareness, i.e., your “ancient brain” takes control.

Unfortunately, when there is a real threat, the brain responds to a negative memory as if the negative memory were occurring in the present moment. The more you focus on “something negative can happen to me,” the more your body will release stress neurotransmitters to evoke a “fight or flight” response. It gets worse. As your brain perceives that there really was no threat, it enters a stage of confusion and releases even more stress neurotransmitters. Continued cycles like this can lead to an emotionally damaged brain.

  1. Frequent practice of a 5:1 “Positivity Ratio” is necessary to build optimism and resilience to stress.

Your right prefrontal cortex constantly generates a stream of negative thoughts and feelings. This is a remnant of your “ancient brain” protective mechanism. However, your left prefrontal lobe is much more optimistic and evolved to support your making beneficial decisions directed at achieving your personal goals. You can focus either of these lobes with the obvious outcome, but you cannot focus both of them simultaneously.

Waldman reminds us of the findings of Positive Psychology founders, Fredrickson, Gottman and Losada, who independently determined that in businesses and personal relationships where the ratio of positive to negative thoughts falls below 3-to-1, those relationships were most likely to fail. The most successful relationships and businesses were those where this ratio was at least 5-to-1. The reason for this effect is, as discussed above, the predilection of the brain to turn negative experiences into negative memories, and ultimately create negative consequences. Waldman in his studies has found that you can readily train your brain to interrupt negativity and generate optimistic thoughts with the desirable result of a successful interpersonal relationship or business.

  1. Your beliefs shape your reality more than what you perceive with your senses, and they govern nearly every aspect of your life.

This is a very important point, which I have discussed it other contexts in prior articles. Waldman describes the impact of this process in precise detail as follows.

“Our memories form the basis of habitual behavior and they also form the foundation of our belief systems. A belief is a thought process – an assessment of the world and the value we place on a behavior or ideal. The more we repeat a certain thought, the more “real” that thought becomes. Because everything we believe in also has a corresponding non-belief, the brain does something odd. It rejects any information, or anyone, that interferes with that belief. It’s a natural neurological process and it explains why human beings are so prone to prejudice. The moment we identify ourselves with one group (political, religious, social, or even a sports team) the less respect we show toward people who are members of different groups. We need to remind ourselves that our labels – our beliefs, our memories, even our perceptions of the world – are not real. Instead they are arbitrary categories that our brain uses to organize the sensations coming in from an unknown world.”

  1. Pleasure is one of the most important sensations for maintaining physical health, emotional balance, and business success.

Here Waldman is talking about very simple pleasures, but ones that can have a positive impact on your performance and fulfillment. He suggests:

  • Lightly stroking your palms can relieve performance anxiety.
  • Slowly brushing your arms decreases negative emotions.
  • Performing a pleasant physical activity improves productivity.
  • To release pleasure-generating dopamine neurotransmitter within your brain, stretch your arms, neck and torso three times per hour for just 10 seconds.
  1. Daydreaming is essential for learning and maintaining a healthy brain.

The process of awareness or consciousness requires highly focused attention and utilizes extensive levels of stress-reducing neurotransmitters. Taking a couple of two-minute “daydreaming” breaks every hour or so can have a significant impact in rejuvenating your body and soul. Daydreaming also helps encode new information into long-term memories. It stimulates creativity in the brain’s frontal lobes. Maybe we should not be correcting and discouraging children from their daydreaming habits.

  1. Stress can disrupt nearly every neural activity in your brain.

We have all seen at one time or another how stress can stimulate excessive worrying, procrastination and is well known as the source of nearly every illness. Waldman has a few suggestions that help reduce stress. He notes that a quick way to interrupt stress is by yawning. It lowers hyperactivity in the functioning of the frontal lobes of our brain. Drawing on suggestions made above, Waldman has found that if you combine yawning with slow stretching and gentle stroking of your arms and hands, you can enter a deep state of relaxation within a minute. I tried it. It works!

Waldman’s and Newberg’s work in neuroscience is most noteworthy. I recommend their books as a means to better physical, emotional and spiritual health.

Sat, Chit, Ananda!

Enjoy your journey, make a difference!

Global Summit on Corporate Sustainability
Bringing the World to Prague Because There Is No Time to Waste

 

Imagine a conference where major experts and representatives from government, corporations, SMEs and start ups as well as NGOs meet to discuss common responsibility and actions to be taken to improve the lives of population coming from all over the world as well as from the Czech Republic.  The issues debated and suggested do not concern projects and populations in faraway countries of Africa and Asia, but specific projects are shared that make a difference to people in the Czech Republic, such as the case of SAP and its Autism at Work initiative.

Imagine a conference that takes place not at an expensive five-star hotel, but in inspirational premises of the National Gallery.

Imagine a conference where panels are gender balanced; in many cases the organisers actually had to look for men to participate.

Imagine a conference, where the key note speaker, Dr. Tererai Trent, is the one of the most internationally recognised voices for quality education and women’s empowerment and the one of the most popular hosts of Oprah Winfrey.

Imagine a conference that serves vegetarian food to reduce carbon footprint, has music entertainment during the breaks and visual recordings to remind attendees of key messages.

Lucie Mádlová

Lucie Mádlová

Meet the woman who made it all possible on May 4, 2016 in Prague. It is a pleasure to introduce you to Lucie Mádlová, the Global Compact Network Czech Republic Representative and Executive Director of Association of Social Responsibility.

Lucie, how do you perceive today’s world?

It is wonderful how many opportunities and how much beauty we can enjoy in today’s world. It is beyond comprehension that we do not appreciate what is given, and by excessive, rakish consumption and unsustainable behaviour we are destroying lives of future generations. The more we have, the more we desire. We buy things we do not need, we are destroying natural resources, and our behaviour has a substantial impact on climate change. The data is more than worrying. More than a billion people does not have access to drinking water, while to many of us it literally trickles through our fingers. Three billion kilograms of food are wasted annually, while more than 795 million people are suffering from starvation. We are going to theatres to see disaster movies, not admitting to ourselves we might watch a harsh reality of upcoming days, unless we reconsider our unsustainable behaviour.

How do you perceive the role of the Czech Republic?

Regarding sustainability we are barely scratching the surface. We still have plenty of room for improvements and for inspiration from more developed countries. Our recent study showed that in the interest of sustainability people of the Czech Republic mostly save energy, avoid wasting food, save tap water, and sort waste. The study also confirmed that in comparison to 2013, people are more engaged in global issues in general. In addition, the data shows that 4 out of 5 Czechs think the government should be involved in reaching new Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and 3 out of 4 would also include the private sector. It should be mentioned that a young, emerging generation is the one most interested in those topics which fit into its lifestyle. I consider it a positive trend; young people are not selfish, they are considerate and thoughtful, which is a great opportunity for employers. Young people want to work for a society which shares the same values, and social responsibility of their potential employer is a crucial criteria for many of them.

How does it happen that you manage to bring attention to the topics of corporate sustainability to the Czech Republic, to the country where population believes it’s primarily government’s responsibility to fulfil Sustainability Development Goals?

New Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) were unanimously adopted by the UN member states (including the Czech Republic) in September 2015 with the objective to build a better future for everyone. SDGs clearly sets a direction for upcoming 15 years, leading to eradication of poverty, to a struggle with inequality, and to security of our planet. The wording of SDGs is a result of a collaboration of not only the UN member states, but also representatives of civil society, private sector, and academia of all continents. So, at the Summit Global Compact 2030, we did want to demonstrate to the private sector that SDGs bring opportunities for contributions to not only a better and sustainable future, but also for new investments.

The gender equality is one of the 17 goals, implied in many others. Are you in favour of quotas or do you suggest another approach for companies?  And how do you see the fact that women often do not support women?

Women in the Czech Republic, on average, earn 22% less than men in the same occupation. More than 95% of CEOs of global corporations are men. Current projections show women will not have the same economic opportunities as their male counterparts until 2096. Certainly, something must be done about this. However, I am not sure whether the quotas are the best solution. In recent years companies themselves set ambitious goals to support equality of opportunity within their organisations and within their respective countries. And they are starting to realise that their investments into equality are returning. For example, in 2015 the leading management of Unilever consisted of, for the first time in history, mainly female managers. This is supported by a whole range of global campaigns advocating gender equality in a workplace such as HeForShe or UN Women. The campaign urges men to speak out against any form of discrimination or violence against women in their workplace or in their private life. Many significant figures and representatives – men – of the private and the public sector from all over the world are actively supporting the initiative.

Being able to witness your energy and dedication, and knowing that you are a mother of a 4-year-old daughter, what is your approach to work-life balance?

Honestly, work-life balance is one of the few things I struggle to get under control. I take work home with me, I go to sleep thinking about it and I am waking up with it. On the top of that I share an office with my husband, so our private life and our work life are fairly blended to a certain extent. And even when we find a moment only for ourselves, we manage to come up with new, interesting ideas, especially in the evening while having a bath or before falling asleep. Even though recently I feel like I am so exhausted I fall asleep even before we say goodnightJ. Mia was 8 months old when I founded the association. I worked during a part of a day she was sleeping, and then overnight. Now, she goes to a preschool but I am trying my best to spend some quality time with her whenever I can. Moreover, we devote Fridays only to ourselves, spending some good chunk of time together.

What are your final words for Czech and Slovak Leaders readers?

The way to sustainability is in our common interest. SDGs bring the most solid plan to date for new companies to find opportunities regarding the challenges of a modern society. And we are not talking charity here. Effective inclusion of sustainability into a business strategy requires a serious commitment. Cooperation is also vital. Companies must understand that cooperation – even with their competitors – is necessary, followed by common investment into common goals, facing systemic challenges. As one African proverb says: If you want to go fast, go alone; if you want to go far, go together.

“When you don’t get any better you stop being good.”

 

Ing. Zdeněk Reibl, MBA.

Ing. Zdeněk Reibl, MBA.

The largest Czech-Slovak insurance broker for companies and entrepreneurs. 23 years on the market. 54,000 insured events resolved annually. Nearly CZK 7 billion in mediated insurance per year – this is RESPECT, a.s., established 23 years ago based on the model insurance brokers who were usually part of the team of every business in the world. A few foreign insurance brokers were operating in the former Czechoslovakia and later Czech Republic, but there was practically no Czech brokerage company. That led to the decision taken by Ing. Zdeněk Reibl, MBA and his partner Tomáš Urban to establish the Czech insurance company RESPECT, a.s. that would adapt to meet local needs while following western trends, in particular in its approach towards the client. And it succeeded.

You won the Broker of the Year award in both 2014 and 2015 – 1st place. Congratulations on your success. What is the recipe for being a successful insurance broker in the Czech Republic?

It flatters us to have been awarded the first prize in the category Broker of the Year two years in a row in such a prestigious and generally recognised industry competition. We very much appreciate it, but we know that even greater and harder work awaits us, and that we have to keep working on ourselves. Dalai Lama once said that pessimism leads to failure and I believe that to be a broad truth. Everything starts with optimism and hard work, the rest inevitably falls into place. The jury comprised of experts from various insurance companies assessed for example the quality of supplied materials to insurance companies, the level of communication between us and the client and between us and the insurance company, corporate culture and many other aspects, on which we place great emphasis in RESPECT. This also relates to high demands we put on our colleagues working in the company. However, the biggest rewards for me personally are satisfied clients who feel they are in ‘good hands’ thanks to our service and products, and of course our colleagues who enjoy working in RESPECT and are proud to be a part of the team and the RESPECT Group brand in the Czech Republic and Slovakia.

How were the early days of doing business – insurance brokerage, in the former Czechoslovakia?

We were full of vigor, ideals and a desire to prove that if it works abroad, it simply must work at home. We drew inspiration from the London brokerage firm Minet. In 1993, we began in an apartment with just one car, a landline and registered capital of just a few Crowns. Our sole communication tool was Yellow Pages, we were our own marketing and we had a great desire to change the market and the way businesses think. Of course, we ran into barriers such as “insurance brokerage service is pointless, because clients could obtain the same services directly through the insurance company, so why should they need a broker?” However, the mood in the company quickly changed, people began exploiting opportunities and doing business in any segment with any goods – this was associated with inherent risks that nobody knew too much about and that needed to be resolved in time, to be insured or at least partially managed. It became important to be informed and have the flexibility to always be there by the client’s side; this was a key breakthrough and the added value of an insurance broker. When you are dealing with an issue, an insured event, which disrupts you and threatens continuity of your business, you want to resolve it immediately and not wait till ‘some’ institution opens its doors for business so you can go in and start arguing. Back then we sensed that flexibility and time would be decisive.

What is RESPECT Group like today?

Besides having earned the Broker of the Year award for 2015, today we also rank among the TOP 5 insurance brokers for B2B in the Czech Republic and Slovakia. We have an enormous yet compact team of brokers who remain on a constant learning curve in terms of the insurance market and provide flexible services to clients’ businesses. They expect the unexpected, and this is especially important for setting up insurance programmes which are like a hand-made product. They are never the same because every business segment is different and therefore requires a custom-designed insurance programme. We were ahead of the times in many ways in relation to our motto and consequent changes introduced by the new Civil Code. Since our very start, we have been advocating acceptance of personal responsibility for the work we do in accordance with our motto: “We accept personal responsibility for insurance quality”. The work of an insurance broker is hard; one must be prudent and have attention to detail. Simply put, it has to be someone with a strong personality. We also know that a successful company changes before it has to, so we have ‘rejuvenated’ our logo this year and revamped our corporate identity, in part because we are entering the third decade of the company’s life, and because it is necessary to constantly improve and develop ourselves. Gradual consolidation of individual companies and branches of RESPECT into the holding group and under the RESPECT Group brand brings even greater flexibility and possibilities for our clients regardless of where their companies are located.

In 23 years of work on the insurance market, you have been able to build a strong premium brand. What products are businesses most interested in?                                          

Naturally, the greatest interest remains in products without which no business could function – insurance covering assets, fleets and last but not the least, personal liability insurance. Beside this, however, in light of the often very specific lines of business, specialised products are also coming on strongly, such as credit insurance and D&O. In 2015, we saw a rising demand from clients in covering cyber risks; nowadays it’s not enough to only have a password. Cyber risks threaten company data in computers and mobile phones alike, and are just as real as e.g. damage to property or health. And with the rising digitalised age, risks will only increase. We could go on and on – everything can be insured and risks appear in all areas of any business. We always search for simply the best solution for our clients based on their true needs. Our undeniable advantage is also the fact that we do not need to limit ourselves only to the possibilities of the local market, but thanks to our long business relationships, we have forged partnerships abroad as well, where in certain areas, the offer is somewhat more diverse than it is here right now.

What makes you different from the other insurance brokers?

Definitely the fact that we are a Czech family business with a tradition, which however does not lose its drive abroad. We are the only corporate broker representing the Czech and Slovak Republics in the worldwide broker network UNiBA, and we are capable of acquiring insurance through locally established partners around the world. Within our company, we have also established the RESPECT ACADEMY, a unique education system for our clients, with whom we share the latest information and news from the world of insurance and insurance products. We also discuss with them examples of solutions to insured events based on practice, thus enabling them to share experience among themselves.

Where do you see RESPECT in 10 years?                                                   

Thanks to our long-term planning, vision and strategies, I believe that we will remain one of the top insurance brokers, and a sought-after and traditional partner to our clients. I always say with slight exaggeration that RESPECT was here, is here and will be here for another 100 years, and this is one of my secret wishes. To achieve this, we will need to be continuously fortunate with our employees, good partners in terms of insurance companies, as well as with high-quality competition as thanks to them, we are always trying to move ahead and come up with innovative ideas.

Burnout… Why you can’t afford to ignore this issue

dennehyIt’s always gratifying to read about a situation you predicted more than 4 years ago. It is also frustrating to realize not much has changed.

When I wrote Can You Afford to Ignore Me? one of the issues I pointed out is that women and millennial men and women entering the work force have always looked at work beyond compensation. And, one of the contributing factors to cause them to walk away from their job was burnout, which implies a feeling of not seeing a future for themselves at their job based on the expectations and conditions associated with a 24/7 connectivity.

Many managers interpret this as laziness or lack of commitment, when in fact it is more about a desire to create a balanced life so they can contribute effectively to the workforce.

The data related to engagement in the US is clear – only 3 out of 10 employees are engaged at work. This impacts productivity, innovation and long term commitment to the organizations.

A recent article published in Fast Company magazine shows the following research: The trend of young women burning out by the age of 30 is very real and unfortunately common. A study by McKinsey shows that women account for 53  % of corporate entrylevel jobs, but women only hold 37 % of mid-management roles. That number drops to 26  % for vice presidents and senior managers, indicating a major gender disparity higher up the corporate ladder. As only 11  % of women choose to leave the workplace permanently to have children, another reason for this gap can be traced to high expectations companies place on employees in always-connected work environments.

If you read closely, you see women DO NOT leave work due to family issues or parenting interests, they move or go into other business options because they are feeling a high degree of demand on their time, all the while, looking at layoffs and downsizing. The natural response is… Why am I doing this? I’m giving all of my time and how do I know if my efforts will be appreciated?

The same is true with millennials. Here you have a great quote that sums this scenario in a very insightful way; Melanie Shreffler formerly at Ypulse (currently the Senior Editorial Director, Cassandra Report) tells Forbes, “You can’t see the end of the tunnel because there are so many twists and turns. It’s impossible to see what life will be like in 20 years these days. It’s hard to look just three to four years in the future. They don’t know what they are striving for, which makes it really hard to move forward.”

We are transitioning into a new work style, and I think it’s more human and yields higher returns…Can you afford to ignore this?

Communicating effectively in times of change

urbankova-sidebarChange is the only constant in life or as some say, change is a fact of life. My company goes through a major change every other year, so communicating change has become an almost daily routine for me.

At times I hear people refer to change communication and change management interchangeably although these are two different things. Some of you may know the John P. Kotter’s famous eight-stage model for change and its management. Change management is a structured approach to help individuals and teams adopt new methods and embrace different reality in the workplace, as well as ensure that changes are thoroughly and smoothly implemented, and that the lasting benefits of change are achieved. It consists of multiple components that Kotter outlined, starting with establishing a sense of urgency and finishing with instituting a change. However, what about the people we are taking with us on a change journey? How are they affected?

When explaining the impact of change on employee behaviours, I like using the Kübler-Ross five stages of grief, developed as a result of working with terminally ill patients, which are applicable to any transformation individuals go through:

Communication is one of crucial elements of change management. If done right, communication raises the level of understanding of what is happening, what it means for the organisation and ultimately for the individual, what role employees will play in the change process, and also manages their expectations. Based on the Towers Watson change and communication ROI study, organisations with effective change and communication management are 3.5 times as likely to significantly outperform their peers. So, how do we go about communicating change?

Overall, there are three phases to consider:

Preparation – you need to have a solid strategy and a detailed plan with concise and simple key messages. Try to understand your employees’ concerns – do not forget you are taking them on a journey and you want them to follow closely, not to lag behind. This can also be an ideal opportunity to offer coaching to your leaders and provide supporting materials to line managers to ensure they understand how to deal with what employees are going through.

Drive – use multiple channels to communicate and align the organisation with the change – people consume information in different ways and you are trying to make all employees understand what is happening. Establish a two-way communication. One of Stephen Covey’s Seven Habits of Highly Effective People is ‘seek first to understand, then to be understood’ which captures the value of listening in communication. So, communicate openly and honestly with an opportunity for feedback as people want to feel they are part of the process. You can also target influential leaders and managers to help drive the change.

Reinforcement – in this phase you repeat some of what has been communicated, tell success stories, lessons learned, inform on progress of the change taking place, and celebrate successes. This is also a perfect moment to say thank you to your people. Recognition is paramount in times of change, so people need to see their efforts are appreciated and valued, which will encourage them to keep up the good work.

kubler

Change is difficult and can be challenging for even the most experienced of leaders. While there’s certainly an adjustment period involved, if we lead from a place of understanding and clarity, we will achieve positive outcomes. Good communication contributes to eliminating people’s fears of and resistance to change.

Remember, communication is happening even when we are silent; such approach, however, can generate rumours which may negatively impact productivity as well as retention. It is easier to build awareness and understanding of an upcoming change by communicating clearly from the start than fixing a negative impact of silence later on. Based on my experience, best results are produced when we proactively and consistently keep our teams informed – effective communication can help successfully sail the ever-changing and sometimes rough waters of a company environment.

The Czech British Chamber of Commerce (CBCC) held its first Annual Summer Garden Party at the residence of the Czech Ambassador to London, H.E. Libor Secka, in Hampstead, London, on 8 June 2016.

The Summer Garden Party was preceded by the Moravian Silesian Region’s Investment Seminar, organised by the Moravian-Silesian Region and the Regional Development Agency, the CzechInvest Agency in the UK, and the CBCC. The region’s representatives shared a valuable insight into opportunities presently on offer and ones to look out for in the future in the Czech Republic, and in particular in the Moravian Silesian Region.

Both events provided a great platform for discussions with top business leaders as they address today’s most competitive challenges and networking.

Picture1As a longtime New Yorker now living happily in Hrad, my blog will celebrate what I call the 3Fs: Food, Fashion and Folklore! I seek to educate as well as entertain. My responsibility to readers is to make sure that things and places I recommend will not disappoint their cultured tastes. As a food lover, I am looking for a simple but elusive combination of good food, decent portions, reasonable prices, prompt and courteous service, a charming ambiance, and an interesting history. As a fashion blogger, I am looking for fascinating, authentic, unique pieces and whatever I can recommend that makes you look better. And in Folklore, in addition to anecdotes about interesting events and personalities, I cover tools, technology and craft traditions associated with popular culture, travel, architecture and more.

Some time ago, the Moroccan embassy asked me to find a Czech fashion designer who could mount a joint fashion show together with famous Moroccan-Jewish designer Albert Oiknine to celebrate the annual tour of the Karlovy Vary Film Festival at the Pupp Hotel in Carlsbad.

The Czech designers I contacted either declined or cancelled on me, so with just two days before the show, I still had nothing to offer. I remember how disappointed I felt that day and how I even considered skipping a social event planned for that evening. But as the hour approached, I remembered that sometimes the most important thing in life is just showing up. As Franz Liszt memorably put it, “Beware of missing chances; otherwise it may be altogether too late someday.” I put aside my wounded feelings and made my way to the event.

By a great stroke of luck, I encountered there a beautiful woman (opera singer Alena Miro), who was wearing a classic but at the same time romantic dress. I asked whom was she wearing, and that’s how I first heard Camilla Solomon’s name.

I went to Camilla’s magical show room the next day, and instantly fell in love with her fairy tale-beautiful, seductive dress designs. I asked her to put together 40 long dresses for the show taking place the next evening. She had only 20 available, but thinking quickly, she asked her loyal clients to pitch in for her success. She had to bring some of the dresses to the dry cleaner’s overnight, but she managed to pull it off. Camilla was a hit!

salon

It often seems as if Camilla is always on the move. Camilla has collaborated with powerful personalities and Czech powerhouses like Miss Czech Republic, Karlovy Vary Film Festival, and Preciosa. She prepares a new collection twice a year, and also gladly undertakes one-off commissions from her discerning clients.

Camilla’s version of high fashion does not exclude a sense of timelessness. In one of our discussions, she told me that she does not want to create a dress that is like a single kiss that is never repeated. She does often not aim for the kind of flashiness that pleases runway paparazzi and magazine editors; her dresses are made to be worn by real women who want to make a glamorous but also a serious impression.

In any case, she told me, when she adds a splash of color to her designs, her clients often ask her to make the same thing in black! Czech ladies are not the only ones who think that black is beautiful: as a New Yorker, many of my friends and I often made the same choice. While I would probably never tell her so directly that I agree wholeheartedly with her Czech customers, I admire Camilla’s sense of vocation and I am proud of the small role I played in bringing her designs to a wider audience.

Picture5

Camilla, who is also of Jewish origin, got on famously with Oiknine. She came to Prague 15 years ago from Slovakia with only one suit, but with ample talent and the passion to fulfill her dream of becoming a fashion designer. She started in her own apartment and quickly built up a roster of faithful clients. She now owns a very cute boutique on Kozi Street (her home space she shares with eight cats.) Unlike some designers who exhaust their creative imaginations and budgets in an effort to secure a lease in a suitably situated Old Town square, Camilla is totally focused on her work. She has retained her sense of humility: for her, dress designing is all about meeting her customers’ needs, not feeding her own ego.

THE POSITIVE LEADER: Fuelling success and happiness in a world of disruptive change

muhlfeitThe importance of strong leadership has never been more apparent. As events in Europe unfold dramatically in the wake of the British public’s vote to exit the European Union, we find ourselves looking to our leaders –and potential leaders–to guide us through this period of uncertainty and change.

An inspirational leader can rouse confidence in times of ambiguity like these, and instil a sense of optimism for the future that might otherwise be missing. But with political leaders dropping like flies and other individuals clamouring to take their place, a number of key questions are brought to the fore. What makes for successful leadership under challenging circumstances? How can we identify a strong, visionary leader? And to what extent does great leadership inspire engagement and success in others over the long term?

These questions are becoming more significant than ever in a perpetually-changing world, and not just in politics. We’re all operating amidst a backdrop of supersonic developments in technology that are bringing dynamic innovations to every aspect of our lives and business. As corporations race to meet new demands and opportunities for growth, time-starved CEOS and managers face all manner of complications. Not least is dealing with an employee engagement crisis in which a staggering 87% of the worldwide population is not engaged at work [1]. Through my time spent coaching clients and revisiting my own personal leadership experiences at Microsoft, I’ve uncovered four key ways that leaders frequently go off beam, both in how they manage themselves and manage their teams:

Where leaders go wrong

  1. They target weaknesses, not strengths. Misguided leaders waste vital time, money and energy grappling with faults and failures rather than recognising and leveraging people’s natural talents. The result? Disengaged and dissatisfied teams.
  2. They fail to ‘have a dream’. A leader lacking a clear, inspirational purpose or vision will have a tough time rallying people in a unified direction. Accomplished employees don’t just want any old job; they want meaning and the chance to contribute to something bigger than themselves.
  3. They manage time, not energy. Facing non-stop demands in the workplace, leaders cram their diaries to the brim believing that they’re skilfully maximising their time. Instead, they’re recklessly abusing their energy, diluting their focus and heading straight for a burnout.
  4. They put success before happiness. When leaders set their sights only on the material trappings and tangible accomplishments of life, such as money or metrics, they ignore the deeper connections and meaningful activities that produce long-lasting success and happiness.

It was with these errors in mind that I sought to develop a new approach to leadership, one that answers the plight of frustrated leaders looking for a more positive way to navigate the cut and thrust of the business world. Grounded in positive psychology, the 4Ps of Positive Leadership model is my contribution to the leadership field, providing a workable system for any kind of leader and organisation:

The 4Ps of Positive Leadership

  1. Positive People (The ‘Who’) – Discover and work to your strengths.
  2. Positive Purpose (The ‘Why’) – Identify your mission and vision.
  3. Positive Process (The ‘How’) – Manage energy, not time (become a ‘Chief Energy Officer’).
  4. Positive Place (The ‘Where’) – Lead yourself to happiness, and success will follow.

You might notice one particular type of P missing from this list – that’s right, Performance. That’s because performance isn’t a cause of successful leadership, but rather an end result. By championing a more positive and authentic approach, you open yourself and others up to greater happiness. And once you’ve achieved that happier state? You guessed it – outstanding performance is quick to follow. Positive psychology research has proven that the ‘happiness breeds success’ edict isn’t hocus-pocus, but actual fact. It’s time we treated it as a real and significant principle of leadership best practice. A closer look at the 4Ps can show you whether you’re on the right track in your leadership.

POSITIVE PEOPLE: Building Strengths

One of the most worrisome aspects in the modern workplace is our obsession with ‘fixing weaknesses’. Not too great at giving presentations? Then you need to spend more time practising. Are your budgeting skills under par? Well go on a course and keep working at it. Leaders will spend whopping amounts of energy and untold hours trying to address the legion of discernible flaws in themselves, their teams and their organisations. The problem with this approach is that it causes us to overlook the things that actually make us great: our strengths. It’s by playing to our strengths that we produce our best work and make our weaknesses irrelevant. Not too sure what your strengths are? There are lots of ways to find out. A good starting point is to use a survey method such as StrengthsFinder 2.0, Via Survey or Realise 2.

Remember that leadership isn’t just about you; it’s also about the people you depend on to do your job effectively—your team. Make sure you have a balanced team who bring a variety of complementary strengths to the table, and that each individual is filling a role that utilises their unique talents. This not only makes your job easier, but also generates confidence in your followers and increases engagement with their tasks.

POSITIVE PURPOSE: Personal Mission & Ultimate Vision

We all have a responsibility to ourselves to find a job, career or lifestyle that we love; something that gives us a sense of purpose – a ‘why’ for doing things. This is our personal mission. We all have one. Make it your priority to find your personal mission so you can enjoy greater moments of ‘flow’ and drive positive change in the right direction. Ask yourself: What are your strengths? Your values? Your passions?

But as a leader, it’s not enough to simply be aware of your purpose. By being visionary and creating a picture of what the future could be, you have the power to inspire others just as much as you inspire yourself. Getting the people around you on board with a clear vision – inspiring them to share a bigger purpose – gives you and your team a high platform from which to achieve more than you imagined possible. Surprising as it sounds, the need to make a meaningful contribution is fast overtaking money as the most powerful driver for performance. So instead of relying on bonuses, why not try helping your team unlock more of their potential in the workplace?

POSITIVE PROCESS: Energy Management

Being ‘busy-busy’ is such a feature of modern life that no business leader can say they aren’t feeling the strain. Faced with relentless demands in the workplace, we try to take control of our time through typical time management methods – using day planners and to-do lists, setting up reminders on our smartphones – driven by the idea that the more we can squeeze into our day, the more productive (and hopefully the less stressed!) we will be. However, the key to avoiding burnout is not how we manage time; it’s how we manage energy. Unlike time, which is strictly limited to 24 hours per day for everyone, personal energy is renewable [2].

Today’s businesses need leadership that recognises the value of ‘strategic renewal’. Throughout the day, our bodies follow a cycle where they are at their peak energy levels for 90–120 minutes, after which they hit a trough for about 20–30 minutes (these are called ultradian rhythms). During our low periods, we feel tired, irritable and groggy, and we lose focus. By resting at these times, we can revitalise ourselves and refuel our energy ‘tank’ for those key moments when we need to work on our most challenging, high-grade tasks.

POSITIVE PLACE: Success vs Happiness

Leaders are lost. In spite of their achievements and material wealth, many top-level leaders are mindlessly running the rat race – dashing headlong towards the next goal, the next gain, the next bonus – without finding happiness within their day-to-day existence. They’re relying on success to make them happy, but their focus is in the wrong place. Happiness is not one final point or moment in time. I define it as the overall pleasure you experience while on the path to unlocking your potential.

So how do you get on the happiness path? By pursuing your personal mission instead of the rat race. Set goals that engage your strengths, connect with your values and do what you love to do, as well as what you have to do. Get this right and instead of simply looking forward to achieving your goals, you’ll actually enjoy the sense of direction and meaning that they bring to your everyday life.

„Získávání nových investic, které generují nová pracovní místa, je jednou z důležitých priorit naší vlády.

Italian National Day

Celebrations for the 70th anniversary of the Italian Republic at the Italian Cultural Institute in Prague

The traditional June 2 reception, hosted by the Italian Embassy in Prague at the Italian Cultural Institute, was attended by numerous Italian and Czech personalities and commemorated the 70th anniversary of the birth of the Italian Republic.

Ambassador Aldo Amati opened the reception by noting the excellent state of relations between Italy and the Czech Republic. After thanking the Czech Government for its efforts in promoting relations between the two countries, the Italian diplomat remarked that the best quality indexes on the state of bilateral relations can be identified in the Czech Republic’s support of Italy’s candidacy for non-permanent member of the UN Security Council; in trade between the two countries, which has exceeded ten billion Euros; and in the triumphant concert of the Filarmonica della Scala, which was held in Prague on April 15 of this year.

Ambassador Amati was echoed by Sen. František Bublan, chairman of the Committee on Foreign Affairs, Security and Defense of the Senate of the Czech Republic, who, while stressing the democratic values on which the Italian Republic is founded, recalled its genesis after the tragic experiences of fascism.

A greeting was also expressed by Petr Gazdík, Vice President of the Chamber of Deputies.

It was a follow-up to a most successful visit by President Štěch to Canada where he was accompanied both by a senatorial delegation and by a business mission. The large turnout at the seminar demonstrated the great interest of Czech companies in the opportunities offered by Canada, especially in anticipation of the entry into force of the Canada-EU Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA).

“The Czech Army has not been sufficiently financed and has been pushed to the sidelines.”

Martin Stropnický, Minister of Defence of the Czech Republic

It was my pleasure to interview for the Czech and Slovak Leaders Magazines one of the most favourite Czech politicians. Besides being Minister of Defence, Martin Stropnický is also known and popular as an actor, director, writer, and singer. Mr. Stropnický studied at the Theatre Faculty of the Academy of Performing Arts in Prague and at the Diplomatic Academy in Vienna. From 1980 until 1990 he worked at the Prague Municipal Theatres and at the Vinohrady Theatre. In 1990, he joined the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and served as Czech Ambassador in Portugal and in Italy at the Holy See. In 1998, he was a member of the caretaker government as Minister of Culture. In 2002, he received the highest Czech theatre award for the role of Howard Katz. From 2003 to 2012, he held the position of Artistic Director of the Vinohrady Theatre. In 2013 he was elected MP in the Czech Parliament and since January 2014 he has been Minister of Defense of the Czech Republic.

Mr. Stropnický, is Europe and the Czech Republic still a safe place? Where do you personally see the biggest threats and how can citizens cope with the situation?

I do not like to terrify people for no reason and therefore my answer will be simple and clear – yes, the Czech Republic and Europe represent a safe place. But we have to be careful and safeguard our democracy and safety more. We all see what is going on around us. After decades of a relatively calm period and having the feeling that nothing can happen, we have now embarked upon a new situation. The security environment has profoundly changed with the annexation of Crimea, hybrid war in East Ukraine, expansion of the Islamic State and terrorist attacks in Europe. We are facing new challenges to which we must find common answers within the EU and NATO. If we want to maintain European space a stable one and economic area in the future, we all need to pull together and solve crises at the place of their origin. Problems cannot be resolved by passivity.

It seems that crisis times for society mean good times for the army. Budget and the number of both active soldiers and soldiers in reserve are growing. How can the Czech Army use this opportunity? And can some positives be found for the society as a whole?

The Czech Army has not been sufficiently financed and has been pushed to the sidelines. This resulted in a hidden debt of 100 bn. CZK (approx. 3.7 bn. EUR) and low numbers of professional soldiers and active reserve soldiers. Now, we are trying to change it. We have managed to secure a higher budget, we have started new modernisation projects, every year we hire two thousand professional soldiers, and we have created more attractive conditions for active reserve soldiers as we would like to increase the numbers from 1,300 to 5,000. All of our activities are designed to ensure a safe environment and maximum protection for the citizens of our country. Many people perceive it the same way. If there is something positive regarding the situation, then it is the patriotism of people and their interest in things happening.

One of your goals was for the Army to become again a trustworthy partner of entrepreneurs, you support the Czech defence industry and you stopped using agents for purchasing. Have you already achieved some specific results?

We have the outline for our defence budget for the next two years and key concept documents that represent a basis for mutual prosperous cooperation. Overall, the Army has a clearly defined plan what to buy and when and the outline for the budget serves as a guarantee that there is a budget secured for the planned acquisition. The domestic industry has the information as what requirements to prepare for in time and as a result the mutual communication has improved. We continuously work on improving acquisition processes. We are dismantling the historic legacy which had a wrong acquisition setup. Companies could see some positive results by the end of this year. Whenever it is possible, we will support multiple-year contracts. These will be concluded with domestic manufacturers and important investment contracts will be concluded for the life cycle of the material required. Overall, in more than two years, we will have done substantial amount of work that will benefit both parties. The common denominator must always be the defence capability of our state.

The Army of the Czech Republic has always belonged to institutions that have managed to maintain high level of credibility, despite adverse conditions. How do you explain this phenomenon and what are the areas that you would like to stress in future development of the Army?

According to the polls, 72 % of the public trusts the Army, which is the highest level from all state institutions. Being the Minister of Defence, I take pride and get motivation for further work. In two and half years in the office, I have visited most of the army units as well as soldiers serving in missions abroad. I witnessed that men and women in uniforms perform extraordinary tasks and so the credibility is well deserved.

Periods in your career would easily suffice for someone’s lifetime. You had a remarkable career as an actor and director, then in diplomacy and nowadays in politics. What were the lessons learned from each distinct period? Do you still have any unfulfilled plans or dreams? And is there any environment that you miss?

I enjoy changing environments and professions, I enjoy learning and overcoming obstacles. It is true that from time to time I think that it is too much and I would deserve a bit of quiet time. My entry into a political life was totally spontaneous. As a citizen, I felt that the situation in the Czech Republic had become unbearable. I was very satisfied in my personal and professional life, but the public space before 2013 elections started to feel like the period of normalisation (1980s in communist Czechoslovakia – LŠ comment). Perhaps today such words might sound too daring and some smart aleck might laugh at me but I truly entered politics feeling the citizen’s duty.

You are often characterised as extremely committed to work. Is it possible to maintain work-life balance in top politics? And to what extent does the fact that politicians often sacrifice family and free time determine the decision to enter active politics in the first place?

Commitment is just a sign of inner energy that each one of us possesses. It is just the way I am, it is not any special merit. However, as I am getting older, I think that I should slow down. I do not like when someone prides on their productivity. And I totally dislike stories about someone who spends weekends working, on weekdays works from six in the morning until nine in the evening and in the evenings he is angry since his family distracts him from studying papers during dinner time. Someone who cannot have a rest and someone who does not have another dimension, cannot be productive anyway. You cannot save the world by “yielding up the ghost”.

You seem to be a consensual leader. Is it due to your previous experience with acting or diplomacy? And how would you characterise a successful leader?

I cannot say whether I am consensual, I cannot judge myself. Politics is a permanent conflict of ideas. The diversity of ideas is very precious. But the ability to connect the differences from discussion into a functional and prosperous compromise is even more precious. In order to do so, you need to have self-control and patience. You need to have self-confidence without being patronising. And you must not be afraid. No politician will ever admit this but most crises and conflicts originate due to fear. And fear has various causes. But this would be a long story…

It seems to me that not enough of attention is paid to the issue of women in the army…

I do not think so. Compared to the police, women are respected part of the army. From approximately twenty thousand soldiers, about 15 % are women. In this aspect, we rank in the first half of the NATO countries. We have several high ranking officials such as L-159 CASA airplane pilots or women soldiers participating in foreign missions. I somewhat carefully can say that the only thing we are missing is the female in the ranks of the general. But that is only a matter of time.

What are your final words for Czech and Slovak Leaders readers?

Leaders should not forget their roots. They should not think only about themselves getting re-elected. They should be educated, experienced and balanced. They should have the courage to promote the important things in which they believe. If not, then there is a risk that a leader will become a clown.

Grosseto MARINA

Alšovo nábřeží, Prague, Staré Město (+420 222 316 744) 

gumarovaAs a longtime New Yorker now living happily in Hrad, my blog will celebrate what I call the 3Fs: Food, Fashion and Folklore! I seek to educate as well as entertain. My responsibility to readers is to make sure that things and places I recommend will not disappoint their cultured tastes. As a food lover, I am looking for a simple but elusive combination of good food, decent portions, reasonable prices, prompt and courteous service, a charming ambiance, and an interesting history. As a fashion blogger, I am looking for fascinating, authentic, unique pieces and whatever I can recommend that makes you look better. And in Folklore, in addition to anecdotes about interesting events and personalities, I cover tools, technology and craft traditions associated with popular culture, travel, architecture and more.

The restaurant GROSSETO MARINA is already famously phenomenal and doesn’t need publicity at all.

 Among its multiple advantages are the following:

First, it has a perfect location: it is in the heart of the town, right opposite to the Rudolfinum, home of Czech Philharmonic, and 100 meters from Prague’s Four Seasons hotel.

Second, it has the charm of an architectural oddity: the restaurant is housed in a former steam boat on Vltava River, where you can enjoy the gentle motion of the current without getting sea-sick.

Third, it has a classic view, beloved by everybody, of Prague castle and Charles Bridge, especially at sunset.

Fourth, it has a built-in clientele of locals and tourists who are constantly passing by.

Fifth, it is known as a trendy spot, a place to see and be seen.

You will be satisfied no matter what kind of food you are served because of its confidence which is sightseeing.  Indeed, who cares about food when you got all what tourist can dream while visiting golden city of Prague.

And then comes a Wow moment! The food is magnificent!

Make sure you close your eyes when you try the grilled octopus to savor every last bit of flavor.

Make sure you open your eyes when you try the seafood risotto, because the serving on the plate looks beyond scrumptious with its generous amount of fish.

Make sure to try their daily specials because they never go wrong.

To start: grilled octopus

Home-made pasta: seafood ragout

Pizza: beef carpaccio

Desert: chocolate soufflé

“Big and important announcements are on the way. However, in a short time, we added fresh seasonal ingredients menu which changes every month. Our amazing chef imaginatively plays with seasonal fruits and vegetables and invents a new dish every three weeks which made his professional life suddenly not boring,” says newly-appointed director of the restaurant Helena Stepankova, whose main role is to refresh and renew the menu, style and equipment for the restaurant.

“For the last couple of years, there was an established routine which hasn’t become classic so much as old school, and now it is time for change. For incredible change,” continues Helena.

In my food life, I always tell people: do not follow the restaurant, follow the chef.

I was happy to discover that in spite of the managerial change, the chef stays the same. This means that, no matter what you order, an unforgettable culinary experience is guaranteed.

I tried the chef’s elegant dishes before and always was satisfied. The menu runs the gamut from pumpkin risotto to salads to uniquely prepared seafood dishes or even pizza; and of course, a wonderful and extensive selection of wines and cocktails is on offer.  “Sipping a glass of good wine is everyone’s favorite evening activity. We handpicked wines from Italy, France and Czech Republic,” says Helena.

What I also love about the restaurant is its very well-priced menu. You can afford to go there just for a drink, for special occasions, or just for a great dining experience with a friend. It is so easy to be perfectly happy at the restaurant. Hence, I even recommend to visit it after a break-up news or if you got fired or laid off, because the serenity of the place and its relaxed atmosphere open a new horizon of hope and possibilities.

The only challenge is getting a table at peak times:
MAKE SURE TO MAKE A RESERVATION IN ADVANCE.

Bon Appetite!

Exclusive Interview On Digital Transformation And Its Impact On Businesses And Society

 

Stefan Hochbauer, SAPHaving the opportunity to interview Mr. Stefan Höchbauer gave me not only a positive insight into the situation on digital transformation in the Czech Republic and its neighboring markets in Austria and Germany, but also an impulse to look at the technology from another perspective. More than ever, new technologies are becoming drivers of the business model change. The revolutionary examples of Airbnb and Uber show us how small players can grow into global ones and on the other hand, how the global ones might become smaller ones or disappear completely. In order to succeed, the IT needs to become integral part of the business to profit from the successful and long-term sustainable development.

INSPIRATION FROM SAP – DESIGN THINKING

A Design Methodology

Basically, Design Thinking is a design methodology, which differs from traditional design approaches in specific ways. For example, it is characterised as more creative and user-centered than many traditional design approaches.

A Problem-Solving Approach or Process

Design Thinking can be regarded as a problem-solving method or a process for the resolution of problems. As a solution-based approach to solving problems, Design Thinking is particularly useful for addressing the so-called “wicked” problems. Wicked means that they are ill-defined or tricky. For ill-defined problems, both the problem and the solution are unknown at the outset of the problem-solving process. Even when the general direction of the problem may be clear, considerable time and effort is spent on clarifying the requirements. Thus, in Design Thinking, a large part of the problem-solving activity is comprised of defining and shaping the problem. Much like any other problem solving process, Design Thinking consists of a number of stages or phases, which differ slightly between various Design Thinking proponents.

An Approach to Encourage Creativity

Unlike analytical thinking, which is associated with the “breaking down” of ideas, Design Thinking is a creative process based on the “building up” of ideas. While analytical approaches focus on narrowing the design choices, Design Thinking focuses on going broad, at least during the early stages of the process. In Design Thinking, designers do not make any early judgments about the quality of ideas. As a result, this minimises the fear of failure and maximises input and participation in the ideation (brainstorming) and prototype phases. “Outside the box thinking”, also called “wild ideas”, is encouraged in the earlier process stages, since this style of thinking is believed to lead to creative solutions that would not have emerged otherwise.

A User-Centered Approach That Brings Design into the Business World

Design Thinking is seen as a way to apply design methodologies to any of life situations. It is often used to explore and define business problems and to define products and services. In other words, Design Thinking brings the design approach into the business world. As a style of thinking, it combines empathy for the context of a problem, creativity in the generation of insights and solutions, and rationality and feedback to analyze and fit solutions to the context – All this helps derive a solution that meets user needs and at the same time generates revenue, that is, drives business success.

Mr. Höchbauer, what are the main business model changes and disruption trends that SAP helps its customers to address?

The topic of digital transformation or business transformation as discussed nowadays is driven by three factors. The first one is represented by surprising competitors that have emerged and now are challenging many established players in traditional industries. Several years ago, it would seem odd to consider that BMW or VW would face competition from Google and its autonomous driving, as Google now has all the data relevant and needed. Similar disruptions are happening elsewhere: one of the biggest taxi providers Uber does not own cars, likewise Airbnb achieved its success without owning one single hotel bed. More and more, the traditional companies in traditional industries need to start thinking about new ways how to engage with customers.

The second factor is linked to the Internet of Things – taking into consideration all devices that are connected to the internet and that will be connected to the internet. According to studies, by 2020 there will be about 50 billion devices connected to the internet. We tend to think mainly about mobile phones, but there are many other devices and sensors connected, and generating enormous overall volume of data. Just imagine immense opportunity for businesses arising from combining data from devices together with corporate data, which create the backbone of the enterprise, and then enriched with the data from the social media. Now the next step comes and that is what to do with the data and how to combine them with analytics. We present to our customers the example of Digital Boardroom as the place where all information about different parts of the enterprise is available and so it enables not only access to data in real time but also decision making according to complex evaluation of the current status of an organisation as well as enhancing communication across various departments. Besides effective decision making, this approach also enables many new opportunities how to interact with customers.

The third dimension of disruption trends comes with next generation, the so-called millennials or also internet generation. They have totally different ideas about how to consume goods and services. I always present the example of my 14 year old son. He likes cars, but he has already made up his mind that he does not want to own a car in the future. He wants to have a flexibility and use it according to his needs, so he thinks about sharing cars with friends and changing models as he likes. And now this new approach to consumption is starting to be reflected in the whole automotive industry.

Having heard all this, now I understand that your statement: “In order to win in the new economy, you must digitize or become irrelevant”, should not be considered an overstatement.

To illustrate all of the changes mentioned above on one specific example, I can give you an insight from my recent discussion with a car rental company, an industry that few would consider particularly innovative. Generally, we would think the business is about maximum possible utilisation of the cars, being at the right place at the right time. However, facing the challenges, there is a need to come up with new types of shared and mobile services for their customers. Potentially, SAP as a corporate customer, will not have one company car per employee but rather service level providing a car at disposal according to needs. So from owning or renting a car, we are turning to consuming either miles or hours or any other flexible arrangement.

Individual SAP employee might thus profit from various cars for different occasions. Smaller car easy to park when driving in a city, a family car when going to the seaside for summer vacations or an offroad when going for a skiing weekend. Or perhaps would he or she like to try a convertible throughout summer? Expanding on this mobile cart, let me describe a few services that could be interesting from the user’s point of view. Just by entering the car and connecting to the GPS, there would be a welcome and the navigation system would be automatically selecting the optimal journey to the next meeting. If I go to the petrol station and I refuel, the bill would be automatically added to the right expense company account. No more diffcult and manual handling of receipts and bills into a system. By the way, this is already possible thanks to SAP technology called Concur.

So this was one example that for changing business models you need flexible and reliable, rock solid IT infrastructure with data, applications and solutions and building on these, you come up with new services and ways to engage with your customer to serve their needs better.

Digitalization is truly affecting each and every industry and each and every geography. The adoption might be different if you compare America and Western Europe to Russia and CIS but it is omnipresent. Sometimes, it comes under headline of business transformation but the ultimate aim as to how best adapt for future market is always the same.

Stefan Hochbauer, SAP

Stefan Höchbauer, SAP

For a long time, SAP has been associated primarily with large corporations. In reality, 80% of your customers are SMEs. In Germany, the SMEs have been traditionally considered backbone of economy, but in the Czech Republic, SMEs have been in an inferior position with regards to access to funding and innovation, when compared to multinationals. Has the situation changed?

In SAP we have the same customer base in each country where we operate. What might differ, is the definition of the SME as such, with regards to the revenue or number of employees. But the principle how we engage with SMEs, what products and solutions we offer and how we engage with them, stays the same. As you pointed out, SMEs are also a backbone of business for us. Look at our product and portfolio and you find a range scaling from small to large enterprises. In some areas the offer is the same, in some areas there are special products developed in cooperation with our partners, based on our technology and ready to solve specific solutions in particular segments.

Three particular segments – finance, media and production – have been discussed at SAP Forum held in Prague in June. Finance and production are often discussed, but what was the reason to include media?

As I mentioned, digital and business transformation is relevant for each and every industry. Some of the industries might be more adaptive than others. With media and in particular social media, the question of making use of data available becomes imminent which brings us back to the solutions we offer. This was confirmed in the keynote speech of Mr. Petr Dvořák, CEO of Czech Television, discussing new trends in TV time consumption and the effect on the transforming world of media as such.

SAP is active in both, public sector and private sector. How is the public sector, comparing to the private one, interested in digital transformation? Are there any differences, can you give an example?

It is interesting to note that with regards to the digital transformation, the often mentioned public-private sector divide is not relevant. There might be some slight concerns with regards to cloud solutions, but overall, the solutions and the responses are the same. Let us take the example of growing pressure from citizens with regards to the need of more transparency and budget spending or the pressure to be more flexible in handling administrative agenda filing on the documents and paperwork. The topic of efficient data use and data sharing can be extended to health care where I see a great advantage and potential. The potential of connectivity was demonstrated in one study done by the Heidelberg University Hospital which carried out digitizing cervical cancer screening in Kenya, in a process that helped to prevent data loss and duplication. And one last positive remark regarding adoption and readiness, I am pleased to see that the level of discussion is almost comparable between Germany, Austria and the Czech Republic.

So far, we have talked about transforming businesses and technologies. Now, let us talk about people. What is your view and approach to leadership at SAP in times of transformation?

In SAP, we make sure we have the people at the right positions. We embrace the notion of all inclusive diversity, in terms of gender, age, nationalities and last but not least even different physical abilities. I am so proud not only about my diverse team and particularly about the high number of talented women managers in executive positions throughout the region.

We walk the talk on disruption and so we introduced the methodology called design thinking which is a smart way of brainstorming and engaging with our customers. But we also use it internally. We talk about potential disruptive ideas, topics, trends and influences and how to link them to the opportunities our technology enables. Therefore, the employees need to be open to learning and to adapt fast. We also experienced our transformation from turning from an enterprise resource planning system company into a cloud company based on rock solid technology SAP HANA. This way, we are able to address much bigger market potential, in terms of different industries, lines of business, different buying centers etc. Our experts are trained to be always the most relevant source for their customers as potential consultants on future disruptive trends in a particular industry or business. We invest in training, education, coaching and we are aware that this is an on-going and never ending process.

Who’s next? Czexit, Italeave, Swexit, Departugal, or maybe Frexit?

Who’s next? Italeave, Czech-out, Finnish, Departugal, or maybe Oustria. Time will tell … and rumors along these lines will move asset prices.

PM Sobotka – after Brexit was official – wrote online that the decision was “neither the end of the world nor the end of the European Union”; but he made clear he regarded the result as most unfortunate.

Eurosceptic parties across the continent are intensifying demands for their own referendums: Marine Le Pen, the leader of the Front National in France, called for a ‘Frexit’, the far-Right Dutch Geert Wilders called for a ‘Nexit’, a recent poll suggested that 36% of Swedes would be in favour of ‘Swexit’.

Courage to Take Responsibility

October 16-19, 2016, Prague and other Central European Cities

The life and work of Václav Havel, an intellectual, an author, a political prisoner, a human rights defender and a president of a country, is an amazing example of taking personal responsibility for the state of public affairs and the world as a whole. Nevertheless, today´s democratic leadership seems to be in crisis, contending with a lack of vision, responsibility, and perhaps even courage to lead. Are the current democratic systems unable to generate true leaders? Is the growing authoritarianism in the world a result of the weakness of democratic leadership? Where are the Havels, Churchills, or Mandelas of today?

Etiquette of Airspeak

Airspeak-Etiquette-AVIATION-Times

While writing so many articles we have focused on piloting skills: its building, improvement, sustainability, expansion and many more things. But we have rarely ever written about the pilot communication, its importance for safety and how young student-pilots go about learning the correct form of communication between other pilots and Air Traffic Control.

What is Airspeak?

According to Tom McArthur who released Concise Oxford Companion to the English Language, Airspeak is a restricted language which establishment was initiated by International Civil Aviation Authority in the aftermath of the Second World War. Airspeak was developed to make communication between pilots and air traffic control as unambiguous as possible. What it means is that speech cannot be too dense, it can only use English grammar, vocabulary and pronunciation along with the technical and specialized terminology. Any conversation that is not relevant for the flight is forbidden in the cockpit, therefore, international agreements and training procedures ensure that all pilots are trained in English and follow the cockpit communication rules.

How is Airspeak taught in the classroom?

The classroom for teaching Airspeak requires a special setting. It must be equipped with headset for each student and good quality sound system. The program that is used by the Airspeak instructor usually varies, but the most popular tool used until this day is F. A. Robertson’s “Airspeak. Radiotelephony Communication for Pilots”. The book is prepared in a logical chronology of the flight starting from pre-flight, departure, ATC clearances, startup, pushback and going all the way to final approach, landing and after landing routines. Every stage of the flight has its routine and non-routine phraseology which pilots must know, understand, be able to act upon, and read-back.

Putin’s Cyberwar: Russia’s Statecraft in the Fifth Domain.

13344494_10154312459334575_8760102665573660386_n

This policy paper examines Russia’s cyberwarfare with the West. It seeks to answer two questions in light of this: What are Russia’s capabilities? And what can or should the West do about them? The paper begins by defining what is meant by the term ‘cyber’, before moving on to situate cyberwarfare within the broader context of Russia’s foreign policy. Next, it outlines a number of incidents in which Russia, or hackers close to the Russian government, has waged cyberwar. After considering what Russia’s actions mean, and what the West has done to defend itself thus far, the paper concludes with a review of policy implications for the UK, and for the West as a whole, of Russia’s cyberwarfare.

Miloš Zeman received Polish President Andrzej Duda

President of the Czech Republic Miloš Zeman received Andrzej Duda, President of the Republic of Poland.

Irena Brichta

 

“The Czechs were always at the heart of Europe.”

 

1I have had the pleasure to know Irena Brichta for several years.  We share two passions in common – making the world a better place in the realm of Rotary International as the largest service organization in the world with 1.2 million members and 35,000 clubs and supporting women and diversity.  If I am to characterize her by only one word I would choose energy. She is remarkable for her eager approach and ambitious goals as well as reaching them.  Just look at the unprecedented list of activities she is able to pursue besides her profession as a top executive search expert.

Irena is a Member of Board of Trustees (former Chairman) of Junior Achievement (Young Enterprise) Czech Republic; a Past Rotary District Governor for Czech Republic & Slovak Republic District, and Past President & current member of Rotary Club Prague International, as well as a Rotary International Training Leader and now an RI President Special Representative.

Irena is a British/Czech national, her Czech parents came to the UK after communist coup d’état in 1948, her father was in the Czechoslovak Army during WWII based in England.  She was born and educated in Britain, attending the University of Glasgow where she gained an MA Honors Degree in Czech & Archaeology, and subsequently an MBA at Strathclyde Business School after a British Council Scholarship year at Brno University. She is bilingual in English & Czech; speaks intermediate French, German and Polish, with some Hungarian.

Since late 2005, Irena has been heading her own senior level recruitment firm, and has been helping clients with their senior level recruitment needs in the Czech Republic and across the CEE Region.  A major focus has also been offering senior individuals and organizations, who seek to help and support their senior executives, transition management / outplacement programs – working with individuals to guide them as they find their next career move.

Prior to establishing her own business, she held the positions of Country Manager and Managing Partner for several international Executive Search companies.  She has also an experience from various sales and marketing positions on CEE Regional level at pharmaceutical industry.

How do you perceive today’s world?

Although my generation in Europe did not experience World War II, we did experience the Cold War whether we were behind the Iron Curtain, or living on the other free side, for me personally it was in the United Kingdom.  Until 1989 and the Fall of the Wall, this was the world’s major concern along with the need to find enough oil to fuel our development. However, today, as the tragic events in London, Paris and Brussels have proved, there is a grave criminal threat to our freedom and thousands of displaced persons flooding into Europe for a safer and better economic future.  Is it a wonder parents across Europe are worried for the future of their children? Certainly it is a scarier world today than when compared to the one 20 or 30 years ago.  We need to use our collective experience, work together with optimism and go forward positively, with confidence to create a better world – we can do it. Each of us can and needs to contribute to this better world.

How do you perceive the role of the Czech Republic in today’s world?

This country in the heart of Europe has a role to play in the EU, making it a stronger more cohesive group of countries and maybe reminding other European countries of not being too liberal for the good of Europe. However, we also have to put our house more in order by focusing on ethics and integrity in every aspect of the Czech society. The Czechs were always at the heart of Europe.  It is by no chance symbolic that this year we are celebrating 700 year anniversary of the birth of Charles IV, King of Bohemia and The Holy Roman Emperor who influenced and enhanced society across borders in all aspects of culture, education, politics and renaissance thinking. We should also be reminding ourselves of the great liberal and democratic legacy of President Thomas Garrigue Masaryk.  We have great examples and traditions to follow.

You have been active in executive search for more than two decades.  What are the main trends and changes that you have witnessed?  In the sphere of executive search, can Czech managers compete with the rest of Europe?  And for which qualities are Czech managers known and appreciated?

In the early 1990’s, it was more the search for former Czechs, or those with Czech or Slovak language ability, elsewhere in the world who could return and give of their expertise in management and organizational development to drive former state businesses into the modern world. Not everyone spoke the same language and cross cultural intermixing of ideas and experiences brought their own challenges.  Today, search for senior executives to fill senior roles means searching locally for those who are qualified and ‘fit the role and company culture’ as well as internationally for those Czechs who are working in neighboring Slovakia or further afield.  It is always a case if the person has the skills and experience, fits the company culture, and last but not least the question of his/ her motivation. Of course, today Czech managers compete with the rest of Europe in comparable sized organizations.  There are still only a few who have reached the height of leading a European or world organization in their functional capacity: finance, general management, corporate affairs etc.  Returning to their homeland usually means becoming a business consultant, coach, media figure or entrepreneur.  Senior Czech managers have the same characteristics as other European senior managers – it depends where, in which position and organization they have gained their experience: each have certain strengths and skills which in the last 25 years have been further developed by exposure to and work in other countries in a variety of languages. So today, Czech managers are sought after for their managerial capabilities just as are other countries’  managers.

You have been dedicated to the region of Central and Eastern Europe, can you highlight some interesting regional distinctions we should be aware of?

Each country of the CEE Region is different, marked by its own unique political, historical and social development through the centuries. Interestingly enough, if you look at senior and middle management executives in Prague in international organizations, many of them are Slovaks. Is it a coincidence that they are more hungry for success, more ambitious, having more drive in many cases since they are coming from a smaller country and need to leave their mark?

You are very active and involved in the Rotary International movement. However, „the club life“ might not seem interesting to fit younger generations lifestyle.  Rotary International is still perceived as a mystery to many. What can Rotary International offer to prospective members?  If someone is interested in joining, what do you suggest?

Come and see for yourself!  Each Rotary club is different with different members – it is a group of people representing a variety of professions, who meet regularly, become friends, do good and have fun! The age group can be ranging from 30 to over 80 years of age! Young professionals appreciate exchanging ideas with ‘mentors’, those more experienced, and working together on community projects (local and international), however clubs need to be flexible when having younger members who juggle family, children and work commitments.  Sometimes the answer is to create an e-club where the members meet ‘face to face’ once a month, or just to understand that each age group has its own limitations, but they can mix.  Rotary offers local and international involvement to its members, who can visit any club in the world, meeting new friends, and new business contacts.  Rotarians are focused on acting with integrity and have a high ethical standard, so they enjoy doing business with friends who have the same values.

Your current appointment by Rotary International President Ravi Ravindran mirrors not only the good reputation of Czech and Slovak Clubs (1 District of 70 clubs in both countries) but also the importance of women being engaged in Rotary.  Women and leadership is one of the issues you also have been addressing.  How do you see the latest development and what is your advice to women leaders?

Just go for it.  Don’t let yourself be intimidated, or be despondent in the ‘man’s world’.  Sure its tougher for women to achieve their goals unless they have mentors within or outside their organizations. However, we need to have a strong voice in all aspects of society.  War is usually started by men with other men; women very rarely start wars.  Women are focused on getting the job done and desirous of dialogue. My latest challenge is being made responsible, on behalf of the RI President, for the 27 Rotary Clubs (462 members) in Siberia and Far East Russia for the next 18 months.  It is a voluntary job (only expenses paid) to be juggled with professional and personal commitments. It is always the case that one asks a busy person to do another job, when you want something done!

What are your final words to Czech and Slovak Leaders Magazines readers?

In contrast to the current mood which might be quite pessimistic, I recommend to enjoy your life; work hard, play hard.  Help to make the world a better place and change people’s lives.   Come and visit a Rotary Club near you (English speaking, German speaking, Czech or Slovak speaking) www.rotary.org.

“I see important to set priorities.”

 

foto-4053-webThe year 2015 has been very successful for Czech Trade.  What are your aims for the upcoming year 2016?

Our aim for this year is to transform the enhanced activity of Czech Trade foreign offices into successful business cases and there are several aspects how to measure the success.  Not only numbers and the volume of export materialized but also further criteria, such as the size and experience of a company with export, the origins of the goods whether  they are traditionally produced or new products are introduced or the fact whether a company is trying to access traditional markets or new complicated territories.  We also want to more portray successes of Czech companies on foreign markets in media and so to motivate and inspire potential future exporting companies.

Bringing the services of Czech Trade agency closer to the regions in the Czech Republic represents the second priority for this year.  In March, we have launched “Export Coaching” program that is designed to attract the segment of small and medium enterprises aiming to expand to new markets.  This program offers a complex set of services starting with the first consultation in the region, continuing with the detailed outline of the strategy drafted at the headquarters to the final stage to assisting the entry to the chosen foreign market.

The third priority is to enlarge the portfolio of the targeted markets that we want to make accessible for the Czech companies.  Already at the end of 2015, we have launched the preparation for the enlargement of network of foreign offices to add new representations in Singapore, Iran and to open the second office in Bangalore, India and already the fourth office in Canton, China.  Furthermore, we want to open an office in Lagos, Nigeria to cover the region of tropical Africa and to strengthen even more our offices in the Unites States, since Czech companies are very interested in this particular territory.

What are the trends supporting the export activities that can be inspiring from other countries and how does the Czech Republic characterized by its open economy stand in comparison with other countries? 

We have been inspired by several cases presented at the meeting of the European Trade Promotion Organizations (ETPO).  To mention some specific examples, Denmark is trying to link the foreign development assistance hand in hand to the support of the trade and support of the employment, in Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia organizations supporting export are closely co-operating with early start ups and so speeding the process cycle with regards to the export.

Who are currently main clients and what are other target groups?

Czech trade is primarily designed to assist small and medium enterprizes, however we also work with several large companies.  I have already mentioned our program “Export Coaching” in regions.  In various parts of the Czech Republic we regularly held export forums where heads of foreign offices introduces European and non-European territories.  Individual consultations are being part of these meetings.

Furthermore, we have created a network of five offices in Ostrava, Pardubice, Brno, Pilsen and Ústí nad Labem.  Regional export managers are particularly sensitive to the needs of local companies.  In case of an export potential identified in a particular company, sectoral specialists from Prague Czech Trade headquarters would prepare a specific strategy for an entry to a determined market that would also take into consideration the company readiness for export, its commercial strategy and a specific product.  Employees of foreign offices then make happen the service directly on the selected territory.  The service is therefore tailored made according to the client ´s needs and requests.

Our clients repeatedly confirm that our services have helped them to make new connections, to gain commercial opportunities and also they have saved costs and minimized risks connected to the entry to unknown markets.  We regard export successes of our clients the highest reward for us.

When it comes to the civil service, the quality of human resources is often a subject to criticism.  You have experience both from private and currently public sector.  What is your approach to the leadership?

General directors of Czech Trade foreign offices are truly those who bear the biggest part of know-how.  I have realized this fact as soon as I assumed my position.  Therefore it is crucial that the most qualified people serve abroad.  In order to select new general directors, we have started to use the method based on success factor index to ensure that the right ones are sent abroad having the right key competencies.

What is your approach regarding work-life balance?

I see important to set priorities, both in professional and personal life.  Feel satisfied at both parts and be able to separate time for both of them. 

Talking about separation, how do you see the theme of dividing competencies between two different ministries – Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Ministry of Industry and Trade?  This seems to be a never ending story and evergreen for media debates, but is there an easy way out?

I believe that the solution lies in the agreements between two ministries concerned, specifying roles and scope of both actors participating at the economic diplomacy, as well as joined projects, such as Client Centre for Export that offers all services of unified foreign  network to which belong diplomatic missions as well as foreign offices.  Working with both ministries, we have created a Catalogue of services for Exporters that are provided by all of the subjects mentioned earlier.

There is currently a trend in the corporate world supports many programs to enhance diversity and so productivity.   Are there any similar trends to help any particular highly specialized export groups?

Yes, such trends exist.  I can mention the support of our agency for export companies that are highly specialized.  There is an initiative in our office in Israel to assist with the help of obtaining a certification, key contacts and presence at the important trade fairs with regards to the kosher rules food products.

Czech and Slovak Leaders Magazine has been recently extended to cover also Slovakia.  How do you personally see Czech and Slovak relations?

I perceive them excellent, given the fact that my wife comes from Slovakia..

What are your final words for Czech and Slovak Leaders Magazine readers?

I wish that readers are successful in finding interesting information, relevant to identifying new opportunities to find new ways to foreign markets, to have many ideas and last but not least enough of drive to materialize their export visions.

“Czech-Israeli Relations at the Time When Past Collaboration Helps to Address Future Challenges”

 

Screen Shot 2016-06-05 at 12.19.57Having the possibility to interview H.E. Ivo Schwarz took me twenty years back, all the way to my university studies, when majoring in international relations resulted in one long research of the Czechoslovak assistance to Israel during its War of Independence. I also remember the times of my diplomatic career, when I was heading the Diplomatic Academy and met Mr. Schwarz; at that time he was the Head of Foreign Relations Department at the Office of Foreign Relations and Information and there was a close co-operation between the two institutions. When I was on a private visit to Israel, I decided to contact Mr. Schwarz and use the opportunity for a personal interview for the Czech and Slovak Leaders Magazine. Despite his busy schedule, the Ambassador readily agreed and we had a chance to discuss not only Czechoslovak-Israeli relations (not a mistake but a reflection how is our country reflected and perceived), but also current security challenges and Mr. Schwarz’s outstanding career at various institutions of the public sector that are nevertheless rather secret in their nature.

Mr. Ivo Schwarz has been an Ambassador to Israel since October 2014. On October 28, 2013 he was appointed Brigadier General by the President of the Czech Republic. He was the Director of the Office of Foreign Relations and Information from 2007-2014, having assumed several leading posts at the Office since 1999. From 1991-1999 he was Director of Immigration and Border Police in Western Bohemia. Mr. Schwarz is married and has two children.

Mr. Ambassador, how would you describe Czech-Israeli relations using only in one word?

Excellent.

Well, I expected some sort of a positive adjective and I apologise for my interruption, don’t you fear that excellent relations might be prone to deterioration? Let me mention Czech-US relations as an example. We have experienced that excellent relations are taken for granted and soon they might not be appreciated as such anymore.

Well, should I have a bigger space, I would have said close to excellent. Parallel to the nature of relations between people, relations between countries also do change in time and evolve; however, the change in interstate relations tends not to be so sudden and takes longer. I am not afraid of a change in the nature, since Czech-Israeli relations have very solid roots. Besides, thinking about often mentioned belonging of the Middle-Ages Jewish community to and its role in the Czech society, next year we will celebrate the 90th anniversary of Thomas Garrigue Masaryk´s visit to British Mandate Palestine territory – he was the first European president to do so, thus recognising the status of Jewish settlers. Both sides, Israel and equally the Czech Republic are very much aware of this primacy and tradition. The second special moment is marked by the Czechoslovak diplomatic, military and security assistance during the War of Independence. Everyone in Israel knows that and those who were fighting during this War still remember holding the Czech rifle as their first weapon, and they all mention the importance of Czech airplanes and the military training provided. The Czech Embassy still keeps in touch with the pilots, a former Israeli president Ezer Weizman being one of them, who were trained at various Czech air bases. Then the turning point came in 1967, when Czechoslovakia followed the Soviet Union and interrupted the relations with Israel. However, the need to re-establish Czechoslovak-Israeli relations as one of the foreign policy priorities was mentioned in the famous speech of President Havel on January 1, 1990, to the very surprise of his foreign policy advisors. And Vaclav Havel was again the first post-communist president to visit Israel in April 1990. Since then, we have been continuously working on mutual relations and currently we are able to discuss openly even issues that are not easy to address, which is a sign of a great friendship. On May 22, there will be a joined session of both governments in Jerusalem, which will present another opportunity to discuss and advance many issues further. The quality of Czech-Israeli relations can be documented by the total number of 20 visits (including G2G meeting) of the prime minister, both vice prime ministers, ministers or their deputies as well as Speaker of Chamber of Deputies visiting Israel in 2016. I am very glad that such interest exists. As the Czech proverb goes, it is better to see once than to hear three times.

Such interest is quite unprecedented given the size of the Embassy. By the same token, is the Czech Republic also an attractive partner for Israel?

Yes, there is an interest about the Czech Republic, however the one of different nature; one cannot always apply reciprocity rule to bilateral relations. Given the history and the amount of migrants to Israel, the interest is still shifted to Czechoslovakia as such. Not many people either noticed or came to terms with the existence of the Czech Republic, and we held so many events together in close co-operation with the Slovak Embassy. There is a mutual co-operation in commercial, trade and start-up spheres. The Israelis come to the Czech Republic to become engaged in development projects and construction, chemistry and new technologies. And last but not least, we represent EU and UN like-minded country and the United Nations. Cultural relations also bring another special dimension. By the way, as we discussed history earlier, listening to the Israeli anthem Hatikva brings some tunes that particularly Czechs are very familiar with.

So let us move forward to current issues, and particularly the one that has been your source of expertise, the issue of security. How do you perceive security from a country that has learned to live in the state of a permanent alert?

Throughout its history Israel has faced the challenges the EU is facing right now, such as defence of borders, control of immigration and verifying the origins of migrants. Israel has quite vast know-how, including some lessons what not to do, so we can benefit from those. The latest projects about to be launched concern cybersecurity and government system data protection as well as detection of parties at the state border. I believe that the threat Europe is facing is quite unprecedented throughout the history, apart from two world conflicts. I perceive the European Union as a functioning system but far away from being homogenous. The migrant wave has not only security but also trade and commercial consequences. Therefore, we need to start to co-operate immediately and share the intelligence. I think that it is not five to twelve but rather twelve sharp to act and to define basic principles of European / Western civilisation. Which will be the most important principles to defend and which will be the ones not so crucial so we can quit defending? From my experience and perspective, the protection of borders comes first to give us the time to deal with the mass of migrants already in and only then we can devote energy and also resources to solving the issue in the countries where problems originate or in transit countries. The problem has a solution, but it is a global problem that puts world leaders and diplomats under pressure to find a common ground for co-operation. A lot has been said about economic migrants. But just to make it clear, economic migrants were those who went to the US at the turn of the last century, they were willing to work hard under the existing harsh conditions, accept the reality of the new country, earn money to send it back, and eventually return to their country of origin. This is a true definition of an economic migrant and there are few people like this in the current wave.

Very few people coming from totally different conditions and societies are capable of accepting and embracing our cultural norms of behaviour and functioning. The last thing is to send a strong signal to those countries where migrants come from that they too should be responsible for finding a solution.

To end up more on the optimistic note, how do you view your career journey? How was the transfer from the secret nature of Office for Foreign Relations and Information into diplomacy?

Well, I do not perceive such sharp divide in my career. After the Velvet Revolution, I spent my career dealing with security, foreign relations and diplomacy. In early 1990s, we re-constituted the Czech-German border and check points, controlled the flow, migration system and extraditing processes and all that going on during the time of the Balkan crisis when the Czech Republic was a transit country for Balkan migrants. So I view the current situation as a certain déjà vu, albeit on a larger scale. Then I was active in the Office of Foreign Relations and Information and I am sure you will understand me for not mentioning more details. However, this was the time when you and I met at the Diplomatic Academy of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs; that very fact shows how intelligence and diplomacy go hand in hand. I have always been interested in trends and best practices so I looked abroad for partnerships and co-operation. Mossad was one of the most efficient intelligence services, at that time led by my close friend Meir Dagan, and even Mossad started to be open for co-operation and I believe the two countries learned a lot from one another. After seven years of being a director at the Foreign Office, I got the offer to become an Ambassador to Israel. The circle is coming to close, as in Israel the issues of security and foreign policy are closely interrelated. I can make use of all the contacts from the Foreign Office. Due to the fact there is a compulsory military service in Israel that serves as a primary network, I have an easy access to most influential partners. Being a Czech Ambassador and a Brigadier General at the same time really works here and I am proud I can continue serving the Czech Republic.
