Peter Milovic – Solitude
“Helping people by inspiring them and leading them in an innovative way.” As a crisis manager, leadership expert Peter Milovic is asked to intervene in situations where internal company politics have gotten out of hand, such as with internal wrangling or threats of strike action. The book 'Eenzaamheid' (Solitude) turns the reader into a participant in his story.

Texts that move people
"Life | Successful managers bond with their staff. I am noticing that people’s receptivity to my ideas is on the increase. In my work, I see managers flourish considerably. You really move them. And then it’s time for the next step: the actual application. I believe in my model. It is, as it were, a constructive stairway with the key words being personality, warmth, moments of excellence and leadership. A director understands his solitude and his ego. He also knows how to achieve a moment of excellence: take a step back and let others go on ahead. It is the gateway to the next stage. You can only attain to the highest level of personality by experiencing moments of excellence. The basis of each moment of excellence is to be found in the appreciation and the purity you give and receive in return. Every time you have a moment of excellence, you add a significant link to your personality. And that personality knows: you can only be a good leader if you make place for other people. The challenge is to take on the fight against solitude: let other people take to the floor! If you free up that floor for others... and you stand watching those others, then at that moment in time you feel lonely. If you can cope with this, then solitude will have become your friend for life."
