Hari ini, banyak ahli kepemimpinan sepakat bahwa pengaruh sejati bukan karisma sesaat, melainkan tindakan jangka panjang yang berakar pada integritas. Kepemimpinan yang kokoh selalu dibangun di atas kepercayaan, sebuah fondasi yang perlu diuji dan dibuktikan melalui konsistensi tindakan. Kepercayaan ini menjadi modal utama seorang pemimpin. Maxwell merangkum ekspektasi pengikut melalui tiga pertanyaan: "Apakah kamu menyukaiku?," "Bisakah kamu membantuku?," dan yang paling fundamental, "Bisakah aku mempercayaimu?" Inti motivasi pemimpin haruslah pelayanan bagi pengikut, bukan sekadar kekuasaan atau keuntungan pribadi. Pemimpin yang melayani menggunakan keunggulannya untuk memastikan kemenangan tim, bukan kemenangan diri sendiri. Motif pelayanan sangat penting karena kepemimpinan yang berorientasi gelar hanya menarik individu yang belum matang secara emosional. Daniel Goleman menekankan bahwa kecerdasan emosional adalah kompetensi kunci bagi pemimpin yang efektif. Pemimpin wajib memiliki kesadaran diri yang tinggi agar mampu mengendalikan dorongan dan perilaku impulsif. Presencing (Presence dan Sensing) adalah praktik kepemimpinan transformatif yang dikembangkan oleh C. Otto Scharmer. Ini adalah kapasitas unik untuk merasakan dan mewujudkan potensi masa depan tertinggi yang ingin muncul melalui diri kita. Pemimpin yang ber-Presencing bertindak dari niat (intention) yang jernih, bukan sekadar mengulang pola pikir lama (downloading). Keaslian dimulai dari kejujuran diri, yaitu memahami sepenuhnya kekuatan dan kelemahan yang dimiliki. Meskipun demikian, Herminia Ibarra mengingatkan bahwa terlalu kaku pada satu "jati diri sejati" bisa menghambat kemauan untuk berkembang. Mengikuti saran Peter Drucker, keberhasilan maksimal hanya tercapai jika seseorang beroperasi dari kekuatan dan metode kerja alaminya. Mitos "ikuti gairah Anda" perlu dilengkapi dengan realitas bakat atau keahlian yang nyata. Jika tidak berbakat, jadikanlah gairah sebagai hobi agar kecintaan itu tidak hancur oleh kegagalan profesional. Marcus Buckingham menekankan bahwa manajer hebat berfokus pada kekuatan unik setiap karyawan untuk memaksimalkan kinerja tim secara keseluruhan. Beralih dari pemain terbaik menjadi seorang manajer adalah transisi yang sulit dan sering kali membingungkan. Linda A. Hill menjelaskan bahwa manajer baru harus menggeser fokus dari pencapaian individu ke keberhasilan yang dicapai melalui interdependensi tim. Mereka harus segera belajar mengelola konteks dan hubungan dalam lingkungan kerja secara menyeluruh. Manajer pemula sering keliru mengasumsikan bahwa kekuasaan mereka bersumber dari otoritas posisi. Padahal, pengaruh sejati lahir dari kredibilitas yang dibangun melalui karakter, kompetensi, dan keteladanan yang konsisten. Jika fondasi kepercayaan rapuh, upaya memaksakan kepatuhan pada staf berbakat hanya akan menemui kegagalan. Salah satu hambatan terbesar adalah delegasi, karena manajer pemula khawatir kehilangan kontrol atau terlihat tidak penting. Analogi "Monyet di Punggung" mengajarkan pemimpin untuk secara sadar mengembalikan inisiatif (agency) kepada staf, sehingga manajer dapat fokus pada waktu diskresionernya. Tindakan ini krusial untuk menumbuhkan akuntabilitas tim. Maxwell menegaskan bahwa promosi tidak seharusnya diberikan sebelum seseorang berhasil melatih pengganti mereka sendiri. Prinsip ini memastikan calon pemimpin memiliki kemampuan dasar untuk mengembangkan potensi orang lain. Carol Walker menyarankan agar perusahaan secara eksplisit memberikan penghargaan kepada manajer yang sukses dalam membina dan mempromosikan stafnya. Dalam komunikasi, prinsip Ramsey sangat jelas: "Menjadi tidak jelas berarti menjadi tidak baik," karena kejujuran menuntut keberanian untuk menyampaikan kebenaran. Kejelasan yang penuh kasih diperlukan agar semua orang memahami realitas, standar, dan arahan yang berlaku, mencegah ketidakjelasan menimbulkan kekacauan. Banyak insentif tradisional seperti kenaikan gaji atau fasilitas hanya menghasilkan pergerakan jangka pendek, didorong oleh imbalan eksternal. Frederick Herzberg berpendapat bahwa motivasi sejati berasal dari dalam, muncul dari rasa pencapaian, tanggung jawab, dan pekerjaan yang menantang. Pemimpin harus memperkaya peran kerja, bukan sekadar memperluas tugas, untuk mengaktifkan potensi ini. Pemimpin wajib memberikan umpan balik yang membangun secara teratur, lugas, dan tepat waktu, tidak menundanya hingga akhir tahun. Umpan balik bertujuan memberdayakan karyawan, meningkatkan keterampilan, dan mendukung jalur karier mereka. Kritik harus selalu berfokus pada perilaku yang dapat diubah dan bukan menyasar kepribadian. Kepemimpinan efektif memerlukan empati yang mendalam, secara sengaja mempertimbangkan perasaan anggota tim saat mengambil keputusan sulit. Lencioni menambahkan bahwa pemimpin harus berani "menderita lebih banyak" untuk kebaikan kolektif, siap terluka demi melindungi timnya. Pengorbanan adalah harga dari tanggung jawab kolektif. Membengkokkan sinar perhatian kembali ke diri sendiri adalah praktik sentral Presencing untuk menumbuhkan kesadaran (awareness) yang lebih luas. Pemimpin harus berlatih mendengarkan secara generatif, menangguhkan penilaian, dan membuka hati untuk merasakan dinamika sistem secara keseluruhan. Kualitas hasil kolektif berbanding lurus dengan kualitas "tanah sosial" yang ditanam oleh pemimpin. Kegagalan adalah bagian tak terhindarkan dari pertumbuhan, sebagaimana ditekankan oleh Maxwell. Respon adalah kuncinya: "Kegagalan yang Baik (Good Miss)" menghasilkan pembelajaran dan penyesuaian, sedangkan "Kegagalan yang Buruk (Bad Miss)" lahir dari penolakan tanggung jawab. Chris Argyris menyebut proses ini sebagai pembelajaran double-loop, kemampuan merefleksikan dan mengubah asumsi mendasar. Resiliensi adalah kemampuan krusial untuk bangkit dari kesulitan besar. Individu yang tangguh menunjukkan penerimaan realitas yang kuat, menolak optimisme buta yang menyesatkan. Resiliensi juga muncul dari penemuan makna di balik kesulitan, yang menciptakan jembatan harapan untuk membuat tantangan saat ini terasa tertahankan. Mengingat waktu adalah sumber daya terbatas, pemimpin efektif harus mengelola energi, bukan hanya waktu, melalui pembaruan yang sistematis. Dorongan untuk bekerja berlebihan menyebabkan kelelahan dan ketidakfokusan, merusak kinerja. Ritual pembaruan yang disengaja, seperti istirahat berkala dan nutrisi seimbang, adalah kunci untuk kinerja berkelanjutan. Transformasi sistem menuntut pemimpin melampaui ego-sistem (fokus pada diri) ke eko-sistem (fokus pada keseluruhan). Ini berarti beralih dari persaingan menuju ko-kreasi, mengintegrasikan perhatian, niat, dan tindakan pada tingkat keseluruhan, yang merupakan inti dari kepemimpinan eko-sistem Scharmer. Akhirnya, keberhasilan jangka panjang dibentuk oleh jangkar pribadi yang kuat, melampaui pencapaian profesional semata. Maxwell menegaskan definisi utamanya: dicintai dan dihormati oleh orang-orang terdekat. Investasi yang selaras dengan esensi batin dan tujuan hidup akan menjamin kebahagiaan yang mendalam dan abadi.

En Inde, un village autochtone a été démantelé par la police et les gardes forestiers de la réserve de Nargarahole, dans le sud-ouest du pays. Motif : la présence du peuple Jenu Kuruba nuirait aux tigres, un animal pourtant vénéré par ce peuple.  En Norvège, des Samis et des activistes écologistes s'opposent à une mine de cuivre. Elle menace de polluer le fjord voisin et de perturber de l'élevage de rennes. Mais pour les autorités, elle est un atout dans le cadre de la transition verte.

Aujourd'hui, je vous parle du temps de l'anamnèse quand on a comme motif de consultation un vaginisme.C'est un temps essentiel à prendre, la patiente présente un sujet intime, tabou, souvent associé à des sentiments de honte, tristesse, colère...Les origines de vaginismes sont diverses et variées : la représentation de la sexualité, la peur de la douleur, la méconnaissance de son corps, les idées reçues sur la première fois, des expériences douloureuses qui entraînent une protection réflexe, des violences, des intrusions, des troubles hormonaux, des traumatismes physiques (accouchements) et psyhchiques, des cicatrices douloureuses... L'anamnèse est le temps idéal pour identifier l'origine et mieux comprendre l'histoire de chacune.Je parle dans ce podcast du livre "Vaginismes" de Margot Maurel et Angela Bonnaud aux éditions La Musardine.Site ressource pour trouver un.e professionnel.le de santé formé.e aux vaginismes : Les clés de Vénus.https://www.lesclesdevenus.orgHébergé par Ausha.

On la paie souvent sans vraiment y prêter attention : la taxe d'enlèvement des ordures ménagères. Prélevée en même temps que la taxe foncière, elle finance la collecte et le traitement des déchets. En théorie, elle permet aux communes de couvrir les frais d'un service public essentiel. En pratique, elle se révèle de plus en plus coûteuse pour les contribuables, et parfois… bien plus lucrative que prévu pour certaines collectivités.Une hausse continue et des disparités criantesSelon l'UFC-Que Choisir, cette taxe a grimpé en moyenne de 20 % en cinq ans. Un rythme qui pèse lourd sur le portefeuille des propriétaires. Surtout que son montant varie fortement d'un territoire à l'autre. À Brest, par exemple, un habitant s'acquitte d'environ 68 euros par an, quand à Paris la facture s'élève à 240 euros en moyenne. Pour les associations de consommateurs, ces différences restent difficiles à justifier.Quand les collectivités font de la trésorerieUne enquête de l'Agence de la transition écologique, reprise par Le Monde, met en lumière une dérive : plus d'une collectivité sur deux prélève davantage qu'elle ne dépense réellement pour la gestion des déchets. Or, la loi est claire : cette taxe doit uniquement couvrir le service rendu, et en aucun cas devenir une source de bénéfices.Exemple frappant : la métropole de Dijon. En 2022, elle a perçu 110,32 euros par habitant, alors que le coût réel du traitement n'était que de 69,17 euros. Face aux critiques, les responsables invoquent la nécessité d'anticiper des investissements lourds, notamment pour moderniser les infrastructures de tri et de valorisation des déchets.La justice donne raison aux contribuablesLes tribunaux, eux, rappellent régulièrement les règles. À Saint-Amand-les-Eaux, dans le Nord, les habitants ont gagné un procès contre leur agglomération. Motif : un trop-perçu en 2021. Résultat concret, des chèques de 115 euros ont été envoyés aux contribuables lésés. Une victoire qui a fait jurisprudence et incité d'autres habitants à contester leurs avis de taxe.Une taxe nécessaire, mais à encadrerL'UFC-Que Choisir nuance toutefois son propos : la taxe d'ordures ménagères a sa légitimité. Entre 2020 et 2024, le coût réel de la collecte et du traitement a bondi de 22 %, notamment à cause de l'inflation, du prix de l'énergie et des exigences croissantes en matière de recyclage. Le problème n'est donc pas son existence, mais sa gestion opaque et parfois abusive.En clair, si personne ne remet en cause l'utilité de financer le ramassage des poubelles, de plus en plus de voix s'élèvent pour que la facture soit juste, transparente et proportionnée.

En ce mois de juin, les théâtres russes commencent à envoyer leurs programmes de rentrée avec des pièces mettant en valeur ce que Vladimir Poutine continue à appeler « l'opération spéciale ». Jeux vidéo, films, séries télé, toute l'industrie du loisir et de la culture est mise à contribution. Objectif : toucher le grand public. Avec, à ce stade, un succès encore mitigé chez les spectateurs. De notre correspondante à Moscou, En septembre, Irkoutsk accueillera la 15e édition de son festival national biennal de théâtre. Notamment sponsorisée par Gazprom, la compétition accueillera aussi en parallèle un laboratoire dont le thème est cette année « l'Opération militaire spéciale dans l'art théâtral moderne ». Vingt-huit candidatures de pièces originales écrites en russe, jamais mises en scène ni publiées auparavant ont été acceptées. Trois seront ensuite sélectionnées pour être jouées en public. Ce n'est qu'une des nombreuses illustrations de l'effort des autorités pour pousser une culture grand public toute tournée vers le soutien à son « opération spéciale ». Souci prononcé d'être proche des combattants De la capitale russe à Saint-Pétersbourg, de Kaliningrad à Vladivostok en passant par Kazan et Novossibirsk, cette année encore plus que les précédentes, chaque grande ville ou moyenne de Russie a vu se jouer dans ses théâtres au moins une pièce dite « patriotique », illustrant ou vantant l'effort de guerre de l'armée russe, héroïsant ses soldats, avec un souci prononcé d'être aussi proche des combattants que possible. À Moscou cette année, sur la scène du célèbre « Sovremennik », se jouait une pièce intitulée Call Sign Silence : l'histoire du nouveau départ dans la vie civile d'un vétéran handicapé revenu à la vie civile, « renforçant le moral des citoyens de Russie » selon certaines critiques. Dans les journaux de petites villes comme Yoshkar-Ola, à un peu plus de 800 km de la capitale, on peut aussi lire à propos de la présentation d'une pièce ce type de description : « Des témoins des événements ont aidé les artistes à recréer des actions militaires réalistes sur scène (..) Ils ont enseigné comment tenir correctement une mitrailleuse et exprimer la douleur d'une blessure pour que le spectateur vous croie ». Ces « témoins des événements » sont bien sûr les soldats. Même le théâtre amateur ou les troupes des écoles s'y sont mis. « Des films et des poèmes écrits parfois trop rapidement » Sur le grand et le petit écran, on peut aussi aujourd'hui voir des films et des séries dans la même veine que le premier modèle du genre : une série intitulée 20/22, soit une histoire d'amour contrariée qui se déroule pendant le siège de Marioupol, présentant, dans le droit fil du narratif du Kremlin, les soldats russes comme libérant la ville d'un fascisme destructeur. Malgré tous les efforts des institutions, disposant souvent d'un budget généreux pour subventionner toute proposition, le public n'est pourtant pas toujours au rendez-vous. La faute à une qualité qui laisserait à encore à désirer, juge une critique d'art qui fait autorité en Russie : « Aujourd'hui, le point de vue très patriotique trouve un débouché artistique, mais je ne vois pas encore une véritable forme d'art, juge-t-elle. Pour l'instant, et ce n'est que mon opinion personnelle, ce ne sont que des tentatives. Et elles ne sont pas toutes professionnelles. Il y a des films souvent réalisés à toute vitesse, ou bien des poèmes écrits très rapidement. On voit bien aussi ce qu'on appelle la poésie « Z ». Mais dans ce domaine, il n'y a tout simplement pas de bons poètes. Enfin, peut-être un. Il y a Igor Karaulov, qui est généralement considéré comme un vrai écrivain. Mais à bien des égards, ce sont des poèmes aux formes très simples, sans véritable élaboration. » À lire aussiSoutenir, critiquer ou se taire, les artistes russes face à un choix lourd de conséquences Difficile d'échapper à la production « patriotique » La qualité insuffisante est souvent invoquée par les spectateurs qui revendiquent ne pas être intéressés. « Si vous êtes en vacances, vous n'irez pas au cinéma voir ce type de film, même si on vous donne une réduction de 95%. Personne n'en a envie, car c'est mal fait, ça n'a rien à voir avec l'art », explique un jeune étudiant. Ils sont aussi encore nombreux ceux qui cherchent à fuir le plus possible dans leur vie privée, sur leur temps libre, tout ce qui peut leur rappeler la guerre. Comme cette psychologue moscovite, la quarantaine, qui explique : « Je ne regarde pas ce genre de cinéma et je ne l'ai jamais fait, car il provoque des émotions que je n'aime pas vraiment ressentir. Je suis assez sensible et j'essaie de me concentrer sur le positif. Dans ce genre de films, il y a toujours un côté dramatique et douloureux, que, personnellement, j'essaie de minimiser, car je vis déjà suffisamment d'expériences douloureuses dans ma vie. Et on entend parler de morts tous les jours. » Au box office russe de 2025 jusqu'ici, trois films sur le podium : le conte de fées Le Magicien de la cité d'Émeraude (version soviétique du magicien d'Oz), Nezha vaincra le Roi Dragon, un dessin animé chinois, Le Prophète, une biographie de Pouchkine pour adolescents. Il y a bien un film de guerre dans le Top 10, mais il s'agit d'un film d'anticipation qui se déroule dans les fonds marins. Pourtant, à en croire un jeune Moscovite, il est difficile d'échapper à la production contemporaine « patriotique » : « Bien sûr, la propagande est moins oppressante aujourd'hui qu'en URSS. On ne vous dit pas de toutes parts qu'il faut absolument voir tel film, mais le ressenti est très similaire. Mais même si vous n'êtes pas obligé de voir telle ou telle production parce que vous n'en avez pas envie, vous vous retrouverez forcément de toute façon à voir la bannière ou la publicité et vous ressentirez cette émotion écœurante. » Trop de pression peut-être, surtout pour ceux qui, comme ce jeune homme, doivent déjà garder leurs opinions anti-guerre en Ukraine pour eux et s'évader, seuls devant un écran d'ordinateur, en regardant grâce aux VPN des films et séries interdits. Cela n'empêche pas, parfois, des petits gestes, comme celui d'un étudiant qui cet hiver a laissé un commentaire sur le site internet d'un théâtre de Moscou, critiquant la présence de la lettre « Z » sur sa façade.  Pour expliquer ces quelques lignes à RFI, il avance : « Je ne soutiens pas l'opération spéciale, je ne soutiens pas la guerre, ni le régime actuel, je pense que toute sa politique est extrêmement mauvaise, et j'essaie de m'y opposer autant que possible. Donc, je n'irai plus jamais dans ce théâtre tant qu'un « Z » y est suspendu. Je pense d'ailleurs que se rendre dans un tel théâtre est un soutien indirect. D'ailleurs, je ne monterai pas non plus dans un bus sur lequel la lettre Z est affichée. Je sais bien que dans la situation actuelle, il est extrêmement difficile de ne montrer aucun soutien, que tout le monde est sous une pression folle, mais je pense que n'importe quel théâtre peut quand même se permettre de ne pas accrocher une énorme lettre Z sur la façade. » À lire aussiRussie: le pouvoir conforte sa reprise en main sur la culture « Faire profil bas n'est pas se taire » Pour combien de temps encore ? Depuis 2022, les autorités ont méthodiquement procédé : elles ont visé toutes les têtes des grandes institutions culturelles connues à Moscou ou à Saint-Pétersbourg. Toute direction jugée pas assez favorable au pouvoir et à sa décision d'envoyer ses soldats en Ukraine a été remplacée par des figures dont la loyauté aux yeux de tous ne pouvait faire aucun doute. A la tête de grands musées, on retrouve par exemple aujourd'hui des personnalités réputées proches des services de sécurité. Parfois, certains d'entre eux siègent simplement au conseil d'administration, mais cela suffit pour assurer un verrouillage désormais total. Quant aux artistes critiques, ceux qui n'ont pas fui courent un risque très élevé de se retrouver derrière les barreaux. Le terme « critique » recouvre d'ailleurs un champ très large. Témoin l'affaire de la metteuse en scène Evguenia Berkovitch et de la dramaturge Svetlana Petriïtchouk, condamnées en juillet dernier à quasiment six ans de colonie pénitentiaire par un tribunal militaire. Motif : « apologie du terrorisme ». En cause officiellement : leur pièce de théâtre intitulée « le faucon », Saluée par la critique et le public, elle avait reçu en 2022 deux Masques d'or, la plus prestigieuse récompense du théâtre russe. Elle raconte l'histoire de jeunes femmes russes recrutées sur internet par des islamistes en Syrie et partant les rejoindre pour les épouser. Soit, disent les artistes qui ont toujours clamé leur innocence, l'inverse de ce qui leur est reproché. D'Evguenia Berkovitch, et des motifs de son arrestation, une personnalité du monde culturel russe dit : « Mon opinion personnelle est que le vrai problème est qu'elle n'était pas capable de se taire, sur aucun sujet. Evguenia a toujours dit que le théâtre ne pouvait pas être en dehors de son temps, en dehors des événements. Que si le théâtre ne parle pas ce qu'il se passe dans le monde, au moment où ça se passe, alors cela signifie qu'il n'est pas honnête » Sans débouchés possibles pour exprimer leur vision – une des personnes rencontrées lors de ce reportage parle de « zone de silence » –, aujourd'hui les artistes qui ne soutiennent pas activement la politique du pouvoir et qui sont restés en Russie se réfugient, dit cette personnalité du monde culturel, dans l'expression de leurs idées de la manière « la plus allégorique possible ». À lire aussiRussie: le musée du Goulag à Moscou fermé Un jeu vidéo russe sur la guerre en Ukraine « Malheureusement, reprend-elle, il y a maintenant une fracture entre "ceux qui sont partis" et "ceux qui sont restés". Beaucoup de gens qui sont partis ont commencé à critiquer très durement ceux qui sont restés en leur disant : "Vous avez cédé, vous avez abandonné, il est impossible de rester dans ce pays sans devenir un salaud". Je pense que ce n'est pas vrai. Qu'il y a toujours des options. Qu'il y a une différence entre se taire et faire simplement profil bas. La question est de savoir comment vous le faites, et quel genre de personne vous êtes. Même si pour moi, même si la guerre se terminait, la situation sur le plan intérieur ne changera pas. » Le pouvoir renforce chaque jour un peu plus son investissement dans la culture. Vladimir Poutine a ainsi ordonné ce printemps la création d'un lieu à Moscou tout entier dédié à promouvoir « le théâtre patriotique moderne ». Date butoir : le 30 novembre prochain. Une production nationale russe en tout cas, semble elle, à en croire en tout cas son chef de projet, tirer largement son épingle du jeu. Il s'agit d'un jeu vidéo intitulé Squad 22: ZOV. Décrit comme « basé sur l'expérience réelle de la guerre des vétérans russes en Ukraine », il propose des volets comme « Campagne de printemps du Donbass, 17 missions sur les combats de 2014 », ainsi que « Marioupol 2022 » et « Contre-offensive ukrainienne 2023 » et revendique 100 000 utilisateurs quotidiens sur la page internet où on peut le télécharger depuis fin janvier dernier. Présenté sur la plate-forme Steam depuis le 30 mai dernier – et bloqué sur son segment ukrainien –, il y est décrit comme « officiellement recommandé par l'armée russe comme manuel de tactiques d'infanterie de base pour l'entraînement des cadets et de la Iounarmia (organisation d'État russe pour les jeunes cadets de l'armée) », plaçant le joueur « aux commandes d'équipes de soldats russes qui combattent les forces armées ukrainiennes, font des prisonniers et libèrent des otages ». Ce même 30 mai dernier, le chef de projet affirmait au quotidien légitimiste les Izviestia que 54% de son chiffre d'affaires provenait déjà... des États-Unis.

Abstract: This article continues a discussion of the imagery, words, and phrases that make up a specific leitmotif, called the seed motif. Two instances of the seed motif found in Alma are discussed as a seemingly intentional diptych in which one narrative reflects the other, but in the negative. Five specific examples from the motif […] The post The Bands of Death, the Chains of Hell, and the Seed Motif first appeared on The Interpreter Foundation.

In this episode of AI Basics, Jason sits down with CapitalG partner Jill Chase to break down how AI is reshaping the startup ecosystem — from founders to investors to incumbents. They cover how CapitalG (Alphabet's independent growth fund) thinks about the AI stack, why speed alone isn't enough for startups today, and how to build durable advantages in a world where anyone can copy your product. Jill shares insights from portfolio companies like Motif (next-gen CAD for architecture) and Abridge (AI-powered doctor's scribe), plus how startups can use AI “in the business” (product) and “on the business” (ops, GTM, etc). They also explore the transition from copilots to agents — and what that means for the next wave of software.
