Why this blog
My name is Arduino Mancini and this is my blog; it stems from the experience I gained over many years of working in organisations, initially as a manager and later as a Business & Executive Coach.
A blog that helps you work within complexity, not simplify it.
This is not a place for theories or easy solutions: you won’t find a collection of “how-to” guides.
My aim is not to offer you ready-made answers, but to present perspectives that will help you rethink what you might take for granted.
The articles are based on real-world experience, gained through working in complex organisational contexts, dealing with real-life decisions and supporting individual and team development journeys.
What you’ll find here
The contents I offer you do not simplify reality, but help you read it so that you can deal with it:
- food for thought on tackling difficult situations and decisions;
- insights into organisational dynamics and ideas for managing complexity;
- common mistakes in managerial and professional contexts, and ways to address them;
- practical approaches to leadership development and personal growth.
The blog is aimed at both those who lead people and those who wish to grow in their roles and build a solid professional foundation over time, addressing change and complexity.
Tools for your development
Alongside the articles, the blog provides practical tools for your work — coaching, training, books, films and eLearning courses — which are used as effective drivers, not merely as supplementary contents.

Why guilt is essential to the organization's functioning!
I must confess that I’m fond of guilt. Do you think I’m prey to one of my usual irony attacks? Well, you’re wrong: give me a few lines and you’ll see.

Three good reasons for sharing your knowledge!
I keep my knowledge for myself. Because if I tell you, you might take my place. Or replace me. So, why should I share what I’ve learned so far? This way of thinking, whether silent or evident, is quite common in organizations. However, people trying to protect their knowledge from the “competition” of bosses, colleagues […]
Here's what can happen when a good Customer-Supplier relationship is not supported by quality standards!
A medium-sized company was facing strong order growth, which needed to be supported by properly skilled staff. The HR director had built up a network of head-hunters with expertise in many different sectors. As far as engineers and project managers were concerned, he used a company he had known for years, the Italian branch of […]
