Estrategia y Cambio: dirigir…¿es dirigir?
I would like to tell you that a couple of weeks ago I found a description of my occupation that I really liked; I liked it much more than ‘director of the orchestra’, which always made me feel somewhat uncomfortable because of that excess of leadership en having the baton in hand.
