Dear ,

Welcome to the new edition of the Insights.

The feature article in this newsletter is about lessons for managers from software start-ups. I you have had similar experiences I'd love to hear from you.

In the "links worth clicking" section you will find a link to gem of an article about the movie Pulp Fiction. Additionally, there are links to articles with my contributions to e.g. the BBC and the Belgian business magazine Trends.

And on request there will be a new version of my Masterclass “Speak like a leader” on June 19th in Brussels. See you maybe there?

Wishing you a great spring 2015!

Kind regards,

Lars Sudmann
