Yes, this is a blog whose main theme is Planning and Management! Yes, you will find several book recommendations here because reading and constantly updating yourself is part of the daily life of those who work in leadership. Even for those who don't work in planning and management, frequent reading and updating is very relevant to their professional lives. Reading different and different topics contributes to the broad vision that is so important for decision making. To this end, I participate in two monthly collective blogs and one of them is this one.

If you start to read this book, you will go on a journey with a nine-year-old boy named Bruno. (Though this isn't a book for nine-year-olds.) And sooner or later you will arrive with Bruno at a fence.
Fences like this exist all over the world. We hope you never have to encounter one.

The Hopeless Case
Bruno was sure that it would have made a lot more sense if they had left Gretel behund in Berlin to look after the house because she was nothing but trouble. In fact he had heard her described on any number of occasions as being Trouble From Day One.
Gretel was three years older than Bruno and she had made it clear to him from as far back as he could remember that when it came to the ways of the world, particularly any events within that world that concerned the two of them, she was in charge. Bruno didn't like to admit that he was a little scared of her, but if he was honest with himself - which he always tried to be - he would have admitted that he was.
She had some nasty habits, as was to be expected from sisters. She spent far too long in the bathroom in the mornings for one thing, and didn't seem to mind if Bruno was left outside, hopping from foot to foot, desperate to go.
About the author: John Boyne was born in Ireland in 1971 and studied at Trinity College, Dublin, and the University of East Anglia, Norwich. He is the author of the novels The Thief of Time, The Congress of Rough Riders, and Crippen. He lives in Dublin.
