Dear friend!
|
Welcome to the new SpaceMinds Newsletter: Thinking Leading Magazine!
This periodic-informative bulletin including news, articles, challenging points of view and information about the professional activities and services of SpaceMinds & Yan Bello, pretends to strengthen the communication with our friends, clients, collaborators and those people who shared an interest and passion about professional/personal development, organizational effectiveness, sustainable change, continuous learning, among others...
I am sending out this English edition to friends, colleagues, clients and acquaintances as a follow up to the Spanish edition of the same newsletter sent out earlier this month (and after a deserved short break for holidays). If you prefer to read/receive this newsletter in Spanish, please let me know or subcribe to it directly on the SpaceMinds website.
In this first edition, knowing that during these weeks many of us have been, are or will be enjoying vacations, I have included a tasting of my article: "The curious incident of the shower at midnight", based on a real situation I lived throught a while ago.
You will also find a reference to the upcoming 2nd edition of the Workshop "Creating Sustainable Change - An Introduction to Effective Project Management & Organizational Change Leadership", that I will deliver (in Spanish) during October 16-17 de Octubre, 2008 in the beautiful city of Barcelona.
I hope you will find this newsletter useful and interesting...
Greetings & best wishes!

As inconvenient as you can imagine this happening close to Saturday midnight, this was certainly a problem you would like to have fixed ASAP.
Nevertheless, as you probably already expect, if I am writing about this incident here, that was not the case.
After completing as best as I could my shower, I went down to the lobby and explained to the person at the reception what happened and ask him for action. To my surprise, he refuse to do anything, saying very politely:
“I'm sorry, it is not my responsibility... and I am not authorized to get the keys of the supply-room and look for a spare part for replacement. You will have to wait until tomorrow morning when the maintenance engineer will come.”
Just that I learned that since the “next morning” was a Sunday, the “engineer” was not coming until mid-day. I asked to change rooms, but the hotel was...
