Poema da Necessidade

É preciso casar João,
é preciso suportar Antônio,
é preciso odiar Melquíades
é preciso substituir nós todos.

É preciso salvar o país,
é preciso crer em Deus,
é preciso pagar as dívidas,
é preciso comprar um rádio,
é preciso esquecer fulana.

É preciso estudar volapuque,
é preciso estar sempre bêbado,
é preciso ler Baudelaire,
é preciso colher as flores
de que rezam velhos autores.

É preciso viver com os homens
é preciso não assassiná-los,
é preciso ter mãos pálidas
e anunciar O FIM DO MUNDO.

Poem of Necessity by Carlos Drummond de Andrade (C2 LEVEL)

Would you like to have a 4-day workweek? 
Many academics and leaders in the business community are discussing this right now.
Advancements in modern technology and improvements in employee productivity have led many people to think that the archaic model of working five days a week is no longer beneficial to us.
Let me know what you think!
Wish you the best!

Business English: The 4-Day Workweek

L' omicidio del noto matematico Philip March si propone come un caso difficile per l'ispettore Malvisi. Chi è l'assassino?

Certamente uno dei suoi colleghi, invidiosi della popolarità ottenuta dal professor March. I sospetti sono sette: Debora Livi, Ines Lai, Carla Silvi, Ilaria Vieri, Teresa Mari, Elena Gani e Roberto Mei. L'unico indizio è il numero 13, scritto dal professor March in punto di morte.

Ma qual è il legame tra tale numero e uno dei sospetti?  L'ispettore Malvisi lo ha capito e tu, caro ascoltatore, sarai altrettanto bravo?

Mettiti alla prova e scrivi la soluzione del caso nei commenti, spiegando anche il motivo della tua scelta.

Se io fossi Sherlock Holmes

Il problema del numero 13

In this week's Chillchat Baiwei and Karen discussed Karen's favorite kind of Chinese riddle - 歇后语 (xiē hòu yǔ). Besides explaining what it is, we also listed some fun examples to see how it works. As usual, it's a fun but challenging language game for Baiwei, but he enjoys it. Hope you guys enjoy it as well! 

Note: This podcast is intended for language learning ONLY. Not for promoting or criticizing any political party or ideology. Let’s keep it friendly and accessible to all :)

Also, all of the experiences are the hosts’ own experiences so please do your own research if you need more information.

Understanding Change Management
Change management is an essential discipline for organizations facing the ever-changing business environment. It involves a structured approach to transitioning individuals, teams, and organizations from a current state to a desired future state. This can include changes in company culture, internal processes, technology, infrastructure, and corporate hierarchy.

There are two primary types of organizational change:

Adaptive Changes: These are incremental adjustments that organizations make to evolve over time. Examples include hiring new team members or implementing work-from-home policies.
Transformational Changes: These are comprehensive shifts that significantly alter the organization’s operations. Examples include launching new products, entering new markets, or undergoing a company-wide restructuring.

Best Practices

Aligning HR Initiatives
Align HR strategies with the organization’s goals and engage stakeholders to ensure buy-in and facilitate smooth transitions.

Facilitating Open Dialogue
Maintain transparent communication to alleviate uncertainty and build trust among employees.

Sharing the “Why”
Provide the rationale behind changes to help employees understand the necessity of decisions.

Enlisting Sponsors
Secure committed sponsors who actively support the change and can influence its success.

Addressing Employee Concerns
Recognize that employees may resist change for various reasons and provide support to manage this resistance.

Using Storytelling
Employ narratives to convey the organization’s culture, values, and vision, connecting emotionally with employees.

Creating Urgency and Feedback Loops
Communicate the need for change compellingly and establish mechanisms to gather feedback and adjust strategies accordingly.

Securing Leadership Support
Ensure that executives are visibly committed to the change, as their support is crucial for encouraging others to follow.
