We write a leadership development and people management blog because we think the world doesn’t need another echo chamber of corporate clichés. This is a space for provocative thinking, grounded in practical knowledge and real-world experience, not fluffy theories or mainstream platitudes. Our goal is to challenge assumptions, spark uncomfortable but necessary conversations, and offer evidence-based insights that actually help leaders grow and teams thrive. If you're tired of the usual HR-speak and want tools that work in the trenches, you're in the right place.

A Mihülyeség Minemaz podcastban Dr. Dobay Róbert és Cservenyák Tamás, az Act2Manage alapítói álltak össze egy kis mítoszrombolásra. Különféle, széleskörben elterjedt munkahelyi és vezetési féligazságokat vesznek górcső alá, és vizsgálnak meg kritikusan. Róbert és Tamás több mint 25 éve dolgoznak vezetőként és vezetőkkel.

In 2023, the Act2Manage team embarked on an ambitious research project to explore a critical question: To what extent do Bulgarian people managers apply widely accepted management practices? We also sought to uncover the key factors influencing the application of leadership knowledge in Bulgaria. Through our research, we faced a significant challenge — there is no universally agreed-upon definition of what makes a "good" leader or the essential skills required for leadership, neither in practice nor in international literature. We finally concluded to investigate those behaviours that show the highest correlation to employee engagement. We present the key findings of our research, conducted among Bulgarian leaders, which also provide valuable insights for leaders in other CEE countries.
