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.

To plan or not to plan a budget? And what about objectives? Should we assign them, especially to the sales force, or is […]
Why the destructive reprimand is the most feared feedback?
Destructive reprimand is one of the most widely used practices and one of the most feared by people working in an organisation. We’ve already seen how some “real leaders” use it. Why? For many different reasons. The destructive reprimand is characterised by a few patterns, which are worth learning to recognise and analyse. Let me […]
From my colleague and friend Rosario Rizzo
I received this post from my colleague Rosario Rizzo, and I’m happy to share it. A few days ago, I was in a classroom with Arduino, attending his course on sales management. We were talking about how to incentivize sales people and about their career within the company, when I remembered something that had happened […]
