I would like to provoke some critical thinking by claiming that I am ethical and, then by asking if you are. This simple statement and question can lead to complex considerations. For example, recently while attending an event with two dozen professionals, I asked each person to use a five-point scale to score their own ethical behavior and, then, to score his/her perception of the ethical behavior of others in their profession; five points was the most ethical. Interestingly, the average of the individual self-assessments for ethical behavior were quite high, an average of 4.5 on the scale. And, even more interestingly, the assessments of others in the profession were much lower, an average of 2.8 on the scale. Mind you, the same people giving themselves high ethical scores were being given much lower scores by their peers.

Added Value from a Project Manager

I guess that there is no need to convince the readers of “Strefa PMI” about the role and value of project managers. The ability to plan, lead, control and draw conclusions is currently perceived as part of a project manager’s body of knowledge. Unfortunately, very often the work results are not directly visible, because when the project is on track, the manager “simply capitalizes on good planning”. Moreover, in such circumstances, you are likely to hear statements such as: “our project managers do not add value”, they are just “forward managers” who barely transmit requests from the top management to the team and report data from the team to the top management.

Rebel Soul in the World of Work

What happens when a scientist with a background in drug discovery stumbles into the fascinating world of organizational behavior? Well, I’d argue it’s the perfect cocktail of curiosity, rebellion, and a jumper hand-embroidered with “Rebel Soul” (with the "Soul" written in Korean, because why not?). My career and hobbies might look like a tangled web, but they’re all connected by one thing: curiosity. A relentless curiosity about the systems and stories that shape human behavior. Whether it's unraveling the mysteries of the brain in the lab or decoding team dynamics in the office, I’m all about exploring the spaces where different worlds collide.

Hopeful Skeptics: Finding Trust and Meaning in Work

Cynicism: an unwelcome guest at work. It starts small – a raised eyebrow in a meeting, a quiet scoff at a “team-building” activity – but it doesn’t stay small. Left unchecked, it spreads, casting a shadow over everything. At its core, cynicism is the belief that people’s motives are selfish and that efforts, especially collective ones, are futile. In Hope for Cynics, Jamil Zaki calls it a “disease of social health.” Look around some workplaces, and it’s easy to see: disengaged teams, “us vs. them” mindsets, and a quiet resignation to just getting by. Cynicism isn’t only a workplace issue, though – it’s deeply personal, affecting how we see ourselves and others.
