About the Impactroom idea

Impactroom evolves around questions such as: What is the difference between a manager and a leader ? Should we read expensive managementguru books or just pass them around as gifts ? Are excellent male managers better fathers ? Why are managers spending more time with their colleagues than with their own family ?

About the 'Mothers*' in the title of this blog? Mothers are managers by nature, although they don't see it that way most of the time. Important lessons are to be learned from women with children. They are the future topmanagers.
