Hello, I am Niels Brabandt. This is my Tumblr Photo blog which I mainly use when I travel or see something which I consider as extraordinary, nice to see or simply beautiful and worth sharing. I am the owner of NB Networks. Helping managers to become better leaders by mastering the concept of sustainable leadership. That is what I do. As an independent researcher and business owner, it is important to me that my work has its foundation in science. Due to my work I travel a lot. I live in Spain. London is a place I visit at least monthly (in average). Paris and Nice are preferred places to stay as well. At least once or twice a year I travel to the United States of America. New York City is my preffered place of choice. The Benelux states as well as Switzerland and Austria are places where friends live which I visit from time to time. Germany is my home country and of course I come along every once and a while. So now you know what to expect. "Niels Brabandt is in..." will not be the usual post here. This is not about me. It is about beautiful places and being in the moment. Hopefully I am able to capture some of them here. No worries, although I deliver workshops and keynotes, there will be no "Niels Brabandt today speaks in..." posts. If you are interest in my work, feel free to either visit my business website, add me on other platforms or read one of my books. By the way: when you are info football (for our American friends: soccer), that is a big plus. I am a long-stand fand of the Hamburger SV (and we hopefully get promoted back to Bundesliga again this year). I am always up for a nice chat (preferable over some tapas), a pint in a pub or a night out in a club. Talk soon and let us share good photographic moments here.

A frequent complaint about leaders is a lack of trust. Too much control is often named as the reason for the impression. While many strive for the maximum level of independence in an organisation, it is obvious that no control is not an option either. How to find the right balance? Niels Brabandt discusses the critical issue in this week's episode.
Mitarbeite klagen oft ĂŒber zu viel Kontrolle und zu wenig Freiheit. In den schlimmsten FĂ€llen sehen wir Mikromanagement in der Praxis.

Niels Brabandt bespricht das stets prĂ€sente Thema in der aktuellen Episode.
Do we have a high engagement trend on the talent market?
Recent trends were not great for employers. The Great Resignation and Silent Quitting show that talents are less interested in engaging with organisations for an extended period of work.

Haben wir einen Trend höchsten Engagements auf dem Talentmarkt?
Die letzten Trends wandten sich klar gegen Arbeit gebende Organisationen. The Great Resignation und Silent Quitting setzen zahlreichen Firmen bis heute zu.

Are private statements relevant for organisational (business) decisions?

Sind private ĂuĂerungen relevant fĂŒr Organisations-(Personal)Entscheidungen?

Wenn VerĂ€nderungen und unerwartet treffen, dann zeigt sich in der Organisation, wie gut unsere Vorbereitungen auf solche FĂ€lle tatsĂ€chlich war.

How can leaders become better at it? How can your organisation improve the situation? Niels Brabandt discusses the issue and offers solutions.
