The Message of Jesus from Nazareth – The Care Guys´ Season´s Greetings
December 23, 2009, by Stephan Polomski in Editorial

Our world is changing:
Hierarchical structures become dysfunctional in many contexts: the evolution of the internet is the best example that these old sociological laws are very slowly breaking up.

Last year, I attended a one day seminar of John C. Maxwell, the famous American leadership guru, who has sold more than 16 million books worldwide. I can say that he is one of the most gifted speakers I ever met. If you ever have the chance to meet him, go for it. He started [...]
