I am Arduino Mancini, and this is my blog.
I offer insights and training tools for people who want to develop effective thinking and improve their performance, at work and in private life.
Training, career management, glass ceiling, job search, boss and people management, critical thinking, negotiation, gender diversity are just some of the topics we will discuss: at the bottom, to the right, you find the post’s categories.
To complete the panorama of the tools at your disposal, you will find reviews of books and movies, training courses and coaching programmes for people, groups and organisations.
A characteristic of this blog?
I believe that the task of a blogger is not to dispense truth, but to leave the reader at least a doubt to be kept within his notes: and questions to share with the tibicon community.

Delegation is crucial to the organisation’s functioning and has a significant impact on the quality of the team’s performance. Not to mention people’s motivation, which falls apart in situations like the one in the cartoon. What do you think? Ever faced situations like this?
The tibicon Calendar is now in its 4th edition, this year also in English. You can download it for free and discover the 12 movies, one per month, that I’ve chosen for your education: by scanning the QR code or clicking on the short link, you can access the trailer and review on tibicon.net/en.

Today I want to talk to you about a rather common behaviour: changing jobs without updating the LinkedIn profile and leaving the name of the old company during the trial period. I met several people who behaved in this way and asked some of them why. The answer I received was more or less the […]
There are people who like to hear their own voice so much that they would never stop talking. These people choose for themselves the career of the professor (preferably university, middle and high school kids today are too irreverent…), the salesperson (yes, you often find them among the chatterers), the consultant (how nice to see […]
We often hear and talk about cooperation: in organizational, political, and social contexts in general. It is a widely shared opinion that the solution to many complex situations requires a higher extent of cooperation. However, explaining its authentic meaning is not simple at all. Listen to how the poet Maya Angelou has admirably done it. […]
The cartoon’s moral? If you want to be cautious and stay on the defensive to play it safe, at least make sure you can tie your opponent’s score. And that the habit of defending does not make you forget how to make a goal! What do you think?

This morning I read this Nathaniel Hawthorne quote, which may be further and useful food for thought. No man, for any considerable period, can wear one face to himself and another to the multitude, without finally […]
Banality, I must confess, is for me a real nightmare. When you have a blog and have chosen to be present on social networks, it is difficult to write about interesting stuff all the time and avoid the temptation to “make volume.” How can you prevent or significantly lower the risk of writing banalities?
