You might wonder why this title? Because the word manage comes from the Italian maneggiare (to handle, especially tools or a horse) and because if there is a team it does not need to be managed, it needs a goal and support. This talk if for you if are in a “management” or leadership position, if you are working within a team, if you want to work in a team but cannot move on from being a group, if you are working within a team and cannot find your place and especially if you want to have some knowledge in what it takes to create a team.

- We will look at 2 of these indexes. Power Distance Index The degree to which the less powerful members of a society accept and expect that power is distributed unequally. WHY does this happen? - comunism Indiv - individuals are expected to take care of only themselves and their immediate families There are 4 more indexes but we will not bother with them know. The point that I want to make is that you should never take what you read about teams and believe they will definitely work within your context. You have to experiment, try/ be prepared to fail and remember that in every failure there are information. Masc. preference in society for achievement, heroism, assertiveness and material rewards for success Uncertainty avoidance the degree to which the members of a society feel uncomfortable with uncertainty and ambiguity. strong UAI maintain rigid codes of belief and behaviour and are intolerant of unorthodox behaviour and ideas. Long Term Orientation low on this dimension, for example, prefer to maintain time-honoured traditions and norms while viewing societal change with suspicion. Those with a culture which scores high, on the other hand, take a more pragmatic approach: they encourage thrift and efforts in modern education as a way to prepare for the future. Indulgence - allows relatively free gratification of basic and natural human drives related to enjoying life and having fun

- Change slows down (but not as fast as we think)
- But way does this happen?
- it probably has to do with the ease of remembering versus the difficulty of imagining all of us are walking around with an illusion, an illusion that history, our personal history, has just come to an end, that we have just recently become the people that we were always meant to be and will be for the rest of our lives. We change but we need to control that change…. We need to have goals is that we have a fundamental misconception about the power of time. Every one of you knows that the rate of change slows over the human lifespan / what is the name of this magical point in life where change suddenly goes from a gallop to a crawl..the answer is now change does slow down as we age, but second, you're wrong, because it doesn't slow nearly as much as we think. people vastly underestimated how much change they would experience over the next 10 years. We call this the "end of history" illusion but at every age, people underestimate how much their personalities will change in the next decade it probably has to do with the ease of remembering versus the difficulty of imagining. Most of us can remember who we were 10 years ago, but we find it hard to imagine who we're going to be, and then we mistakenly think that because it's hard to imagine, it's not likely to happen. Sorry, when people say "I can't imagine that," they're usually talking about their own lack of imagination, and not about the unlikelihood of the event that they're describing. Human beings are works in progress that mistakenly think they're finished. all of us are walking around with an illusion, an illusion that history, our personal history, has just come to an end, that we have just recently become the people that we were always meant to be and will be for the rest of our lives
