On 15th of May in Warsaw took place a conference - Lead4change - organized by AIESEC. The aim of the event was to build consensus and cooperation between organizations, motivating students to act and get involved, to determine the situation of young people in the country, identifying and understanding the importance of each organization individually.
During the event there were three rounds of discussion, three debates in each one. I think the most interesting was a discussion held by Mr. Andrzej Śmiech - "Motivating environment - utopia or a creative challenge for the leader?". There were about 40 participants who were divided into groups of 6-8. Within the groups they had to predict the factors that have demotivating effect on work environment. All ideas were jointly discussed and debated, and the instructor presented creative ways to deal with them. We also talked about building an effective team and selecting the right employees, as a challenge for the modern leader.
Mr. Andrzej Śmiech is a business trainer and coach with great experience and a man full of positive energy, infecting enthusiasm. All the major findings and conclusions illustrated in a very accessible way, giving examples and metaphors.
