Hvað eiga 5S, japanskir stuðningsmenn og skoskir sekkjapípuleikarar sameiginlegt?
Á stórmótum í knattspyrnu sjáum við iðulega sömu fréttirnar eftir leiki Japans: Á meðan aðrir stuðningsmenn fagna eða syrgja, taka japönsku stuðningsmennirnir upp bláa ruslapoka og þrífa eftir sig í stúkunni. Mót eftir mót. Leikur eftir leik — jafnvel eftir tap. Og það eru ekki aðeins stuðningsmennirnir: Japanska liðið þrífur einnig búningsklefann eftir hvert mót…

Lean leikur: Multitasking
Allir halda að “multitasking” sé skilvirk. En þessi leikur sýnir afhverju „multitasking“ hægir á teyminu þínu Margir stjórnendur hrósa sér af því að vera góðir í multitasking.

The Schnauzer family article 4: Which Schnauzer Size Is Right for You — and Which One Is Absolutely Not
This is the article which I think many people think about when they have decided that Schnauzer is the dog for them: which Schnauzer is the right one for me? The polite answer is “it depends.” The useful answer is more honest than that, and the honest version is what follows. I think all breeders…
