Leestijd: 2 minuten Een brutale Nederlander in een gereserveerde Amerikaanse boardroom. Een gepassioneerde zuiderling die net iets anders met conflicthantering omgaat.

Reading time: 2 minutes In the past days I was nearly driven off the road three times (although I'm everything but a slow driver), I got looked at askew in the supermarket being friendly to a woman that was not as mobile as we are (and by consequence not as fast), and whilst shopping… Continue reading HOW ABOUT SOME COMMON COURTESY?
