Elle montre que la force d'un leader se mesure moins à sa maîtrise qu'à sa capacité à écouter, à déléguer et à inspirer.Ce leadership authentique, Barbara le voit comme un apprentissage permanent : un équilibre entre exigence et vulnérabilité, action et recul, performance et sens.Un épisode court, dense et inspirant, qui donne envie de repenser notre posture de leader et notre façon d'avoir de l'impact dans nos organisations.

Dans cet épisode de L'Entreprise de demain, j'ai eu le plaisir d'échanger avec Barbara Sessa, Directrice Générale de Mastercard France, sur un thème essentiel : la confiance. Un mot simple, mais un pilier souvent oublié dans nos organisations.Avec une grande authenticité, Barbara partage son parcours international, les moments de doute qui ont forgé sa force et la façon dont elle a appris à faire de la confiance une boussole de leadership. Elle explique comment cette valeur, quand elle est incarnée, devient le socle d'un management qui crée les conditions de l'innovation et de l'engagement durable des équipes.Pour elle, la confiance ne se décrète pas : elle se construit et se prouve, jour après jour, à travers les actes. Donner le droit à l'erreur, défendre ses équipes, assumer ses choix, créer un cadre de sécurité psychologique, autant de gestes managériaux qui redonnent du sens et renforcent la cohérence entre paroles et actions.Barbara souligne aussi que l'innovation ne naît pas de la conformité, mais du décalage, de la rencontre entre des profils différents et des parcours atypiques. Dans un monde en mutation, elle rappelle combien la diversité des expériences et des points de vue est essentielle pour nourrir la transformation du travail et favoriser la créativité collective.Au fil de l'échange, elle dévoile une vision exigeante et bienveillante du rôle de leader : incarner, inspirer, transmettre. Ce n'est pas le titre qui fait l'autorité, mais la cohérence entre ce qu'on dit et ce qu'on fait.Cet épisode est une véritable invitation à revisiter nos repères : à questionner nos pratiques managériales, à oser faire confiance et à replacer la posture au cœur du leadership.

TESTO DELL'ARTICOLO ➜ https://www.bastabugie.it/8120GIOVANNI DI DIO, COLUI CHE RIVOLUZIONO' L'ASSISTENZA AI MALATI di Antonio Tarallo Un folle della carità. Un amore, il suo, riflesso del grande Amore di Dio per l'umanità. Una mano aiuta un'altra mano, un cuore soffre per un altro cuore sofferente: è questa la sintesi estrema della biografia di san Giovanni di Dio, del quale oggi ricorre la memoria liturgica. La sua figura affascinerà persino Lope de Vega, il famoso drammaturgo spagnolo che scriverà un'opera in versi su di lui. Ma la follia di cui stiamo parlando denota caratteri, in senso buono, rivoluzionari. Qual è stata la "rivoluzione", la novità che san Giovanni di Dio ha portato nel mondo?Fondatore dell'Ordine ospedaliero che reca il suo nome, detto anche dei Fatebenefratelli, il santo spagnolo di origini portoghesi ci ha lasciato un nuovo modello di attenzione al malato e al bisognoso. Un modello nel quale ogni uomo è accolto e assistito con amore. Un termine, soprattutto, ha fatto la differenza rispetto ad altri sistemi di accoglienza - contemporanei a san Giovanni di Dio - degli ammalati: "totalità", matrice e motore di radicali novità nel sistema assistenziale dell'epoca.L'assistenza pastorale e sanitaria, per lui, partiva da Cristo, unica origine di salute e salvezza. E l'accompagnamento spirituale degli ammalati e dei bisognosi, dei loro familiari e dei collaboratori, era parte integrante della sua missione ospedaliera. Francisco de Castro, suo primo biografo, scrive che san Giovanni di Dio «si occupava tutto il giorno in diverse opere di carità, e la sera, quando tornava a casa, per quanto stanco fosse, non si ritirava mai senza aver prima visitato tutti gli infermi, uno per uno, e chiesto loro com'era andata la giornata, come stavano e di che cosa avevano bisogno, e con parole molto amorevoli li confortava spiritualmente e corporalmente». Duplice impegno, duplice visione: spiritualmente e corporalmente. Queste due parole dicono tutto della sua visione di assistenza medica.GUARDARE A OGNI SINGOLA PERSONAIn san Giovanni di Dio, "ospitalità" non voleva dire solamente accogliere gli ammalati, ma era guardare a ogni singola persona, con il proprio bisogno: un "sistema sanitario" (così lo definiremmo oggi) attento all'individualità del singolo. Lo stile che aveva san Giovanni di Dio nella gestione delle sue opere è possibile trovarlo descritto in tante testimonianze. Come ad esempio questa: «Comprò letti ed accolse i poveri e mise infermieri che potessero accudirli e un cappellano che li confessava e amministrava i sacramenti». I confratelli che lo aiutavano nell'opera assistenziale «curavano e davano loro tutto il necessario, come medici, medicinali e tutto il necessario» (in José Sánchez Martínez O.H., Kénôsis-diakonía en el itinerario espiritual de San Juan de Dios, Fundación Juan Ciudad, Madrid, 1995).Uomo soprattutto del fare, Giovanni non ci ha lasciato molti scritti se non una raccolta di sei lettere indirizzate a Luigi Battista, al nobile Gutierre Lasso e alla Duchessa di Sessa. Il santo era loro direttore spirituale. Tra confidenze personali e insegnamenti evangelici, in queste pagine dallo stile semplice e diretto, troviamo la sua visione di assistenza ai malati, moderna e pragmatica, senza mai però trascurare l'aspetto spirituale che per lui ricopriva il primo posto. Colpisce l'incipit, uguale per tutte le lettere: «Nel nome di nostro Signore Gesù Cristo e di nostra Signora la Vergine Maria sempre intatta; Dio prima di tutto e sopra tutte le cose del mondo». Dio, prima di tutto, e la Sua Santa Madre, la Vergine Maria: per il santo, tutto deve iniziare da questo pensiero.Altro punto in comune delle lettere, il poco tempo che san Giovanni di Dio può riservare alla scrittura di queste, perché totalmente assorbito nelle opere di carità: «Scrivo questa lettera in fretta per spedirla subito, e ho tanta premura che quasi non ho tempo di raccomandare la cosa a Dio; ed è necessario raccomandarla molto a nostro Signore Gesù Cristo e con più tempo di quanto io ne abbia». In una lettera indirizzata a Gutierre Lasso ci lascia una fotografia della sua prima casa d'accoglienza a Granada: «Essendo questa una casa per tutti, vi si ricevono indistintamente persone affette da ogni malattia e gente d'ogni tipo, sicché vi sono degli storpi, dei monchi, dei lebbrosi, dei muti, dei matti, dei paralitici, dei tignosi e altri molto vecchi e molti bambini; senza poi contare molti altri pellegrini e viandanti che vengono qui e ai quali si danno il fuoco, l'acqua, il sale e i recipienti per cucinare il cibo da mangiare. Per tutto questo non vi è rendita alcuna, ma Gesù Cristo provvede a tutto».FATEBENEFRATELLIStrumenti di questa Provvidenza furono molte volte proprio Lasso e la Duchessa di Sessa: il santo sa bene che per portare avanti l'opera di assistenza agli ammalati e ai bisognosi vi sono delle necessità materiali. In una lettera alla Duchessa di Sessa, ad esempio, troviamo scritto: «Gesù Cristo vi ricompensi in cielo dell'elemosina e della santa carità che sempre mi avete elargita». E ancora: «L'anello (scrive riguardo ad un anello donato dalla duchessa, ndr) è stato utilizzato così bene che, col denaro ricavato, ho vestito due poveri piagati e ho comprato anche una coperta».Tutto questo lavoro per il Signore e per i bisognosi non è andato sepolto con la morte del santo spagnolo († 8 marzo 1550), che tra l'altro non lasciò nessuna Regola scritta all'Ordine ospedaliero. Ma l'organizzazione era già chiara. Ne sono testimonianza queste righe del suo primo biografo, il già citato Francisco de Castro: «In questa casa di Granata ordinariamente vi sono da diciotto a venti fratelli. Alcuni di essi lavorano nelle infermerie assistendo i poveri, altri nei vari uffici della casa. Altri, invece, vanno a chiedere elemosina per la città, ripartita in parrocchie, chiedendo ciascuno nella propria. Altri vanno fuori per le campagne e i paesi a chiedere grano, orzo, formaggio, olio, uva passa, e le altre cose necessarie alla vita».Si presenta, dunque, nuovamente agli occhi di noi contemporanei un fatto preciso: l'eredità della moderna concezione ospedaliera di san Giovanni di Dio è nell'aver formato, con il suo esempio, i suoi confratelli. Un'eredità che ancora oggi perdura grazie alla presenza dei religiosi dell'Ordine e a quella degli operatori sanitari appartenenti alle strutture ospedaliere dei Fatebenefratelli che, con amore e dedizione, prestano la loro opera nel mondo.Nota di BastaBugie: Ermes Dovico nell'articolo seguente dal titolo "La carità di san Giovanni di Dio verso le prostitute" ricorda che l'8 marzo è la festa del fondatore dei Fatebenefratelli. Oltre a prendersi cura di poveri e malati, liberò molte prostitute dagli sfruttatori, puntando al loro recupero integrale e quindi alla loro salvezza eterna.Ecco l'articolo completo pubblicato su La Nuova Bussola Quotidiana l' 8 marzo 2025:Il fondatore dei Fatebenefratelli, san Giovanni di Dio (1495 - 8 marzo 1550), è conosciuto soprattutto come patrono dei malati, degli ospedali e degli infermieri. Patronati evidentemente di estrema importanza, che condivide con un altro grande santo: l'italiano Camillo de Lellis (25 maggio 1550 - 14 luglio 1614), fondatore dei Ministri degli Infermi (comunemente detti Camilliani), nato appena due mesi e mezzo dopo la morte di Giovanni, come in una singolare e provvidenziale "successione" nella Chiesa universale.Non si dirà mai abbastanza della carità che san Giovanni di Dio (come anche san Camillo) esercitò verso i malati: non solo la Chiesa ma il mondo intero ha bisogno che si diffonda la conoscenza del suo esempio, tanto più in un'epoca come la nostra in cui si sta propagando una mentalità utilitaristica che dimentica che il malato è una persona umana, unione di corpo e anima. Da trattare e amare come faceva il nostro santo: come se avesse davanti Gesù in persona.Ma qui vogliamo soffermarci su un altro aspetto importante, eppure poco conosciuto, della vita di san Giovanni di Dio: la sua carità verso le prostitute. Molte furono coloro che il santo strappò dalle mani del demonio, conducendole a quelle del Signore. Basti leggere quanto riferisce il suo primo biografo, Francisco de Castro, sacerdote e rettore dell'Ospedale di Granada, che scrisse la vita del santo a una trentina d'anni dalla sua morte.Per amore di Gesù e della Passione che ha sofferto per noi, Giovanni - a un certo punto del suo apostolato a Granada - prese l'abitudine di andare, ogni venerdì, nei postriboli della città, con il fine di aiutare qualche prostituta a salvarsi l'anima. Abitualmente, appena entrato nel bordello, si rivolgeva alla donna che gli sembrava più lontana da Dio e le chiedeva solo di ascoltarlo, promettendole che le avrebbe dato anche più degli altri clienti. Quindi, riferisce il Castro, «la faceva sedere ed egli si inginocchiava per terra dinanzi a un piccolo crocifisso che portava con sé a tale scopo; ed ivi cominciava ad accusarsi dei propri peccati e, piangendo amaramente, ne chiedeva perdono a nostro Signore, con tanto affetto, che anche in essa suscitava contrizione e dolore delle sue colpe. E così, con questo accorgimento, attirava la sua attenzione ad ascoltarlo e cominciava a narrare la passione di nostro Signore Gesù Cristo, con tanta devozione, che la commuoveva fino a farle versare lacrime».

Domani al via il Salone nauticoAl via domani il Salone Nautico a Venezia. La quinta edizione, nel segno della sostenibilità e dell'innovazione, si inaugura il 29 maggio e dura fino al 2 giugno ancora una volta nello storico Arsenale, cuore della marineria della Serenissima. È organizzato da Vela spa per conto del Comune di Venezia e grazie alla collaborazione della Marina Militare Italiana. Radio 24 è presente all'interno della Torre di Porta Nuova all'Arsenale. Sono attesi 270 espositori (50 in più rispetto all'anno scorso) che porteranno oltre 300 imbarcazioni, dislocate in un bacino acqueo di 50.000 mq (per una lunghezza complessiva di circa 2,8 chilometri) per oltre 1.100 metri lineari di pontili. I nazionali sono 216 (80% del totale) e tra questi i principali player italiani nonché oltre 50 cantieri ed espositori veneziani, tra i quali numerose eccellenze dell artigianato cantieristico tradizionale della laguna di Venezia. Gli espositori internazionali sono invece 54 (20% del totale), principalmente provenienti da Regno Unito, Croazia, Slovenia, Polonia, Spagna, Francia, Germania, Austria, Svezia, Danimarca, Finlandia. Tra i principali espositori: Ferretti Group, Azimut Benetti, Sanlorenzo, Solaris Yachts, Rizzardi, Pardo, Sessa, Tornado, Absolute, FIM e Wider. FerrettiGroup propone a marchio Custom Line la nuova Navetta 38, che sarà anche l ammiraglia tra le barche a motore, oltre a Infinito 90 che propone un nuovo modo di vivere la barca. Sanlorenzo mette in mostra BlueGame e SD 96 sotto l installazione artistica di Lorenzo Quinn in un bacino che diventa luogo esclusivo. Trenta nuovi cantieri e 15 première mondiali: con questi numeri il Salone Nautico Venezia si conferma una delle realtà espositive più importanti, unico per il suo sguardo rivolto al mercato dell est europeo di cui è ormai riferimento stabile. E Venezia, con questa manifestazione, riafferma il suo ruolo di capitale mondiale della sostenibilità nell anno in cui cadono i 700 anni dalla morte di Marco Polo, che ha per primo esplorato il mercato orientale compiendo una parte del suo viaggio anche via mare. Approfondiamo il tema con Alberto Galassi, amministratore delegato Ferretti group, Massimo Perotti, amministratore delegato Sanlorenzo. E con il Sindaco di Venezia Luigi Brugnaro.Pnrr e spending nei ComuniCome accade ormai inevitabilmente quando un tema corre al centro del dibattito politico, la battaglia delle parole tende a oscurare le questioni di merito. Questa dinamica, intensificata dalla vigilia elettorale, ha investito in pieno la spending review di Comuni, Città e Province, misurata anche in proporzione alle risorse del Pnrr, come anticipato sul Sole 24 Ore di sabato scorso. Nel tentativo di spegnere il fuoco ieri è intervenuto il vicepremier Matteo Salvini: «Si troverà una soluzione - ha detto il ministro delle Infrastrutture -, non ci saranno tagli». Ipotesi ambiziosa, quella prospettata dal leader della Lega per evitare un altro cortocircuito sulla corsa verso le urne dopo redditometro, Superbonus e Sugar Tax, perché questa spending è prevista dalla manovra, attuata dalla bozza di Dm scritta al Mef guidato dal numero due del Carroccio Giancarlo Giorgetti. Pur non avendo partecipato alla fase di costruzione del meccanismo congegnato al Mef, è diversa la linea seguita dal ministro per il Pnrr Raffaele Fitto che respinge la «polemica surreale» su «presunti tagli alla spesa sociale a partire dagli investimenti» che invece sarebbero «esclusi dalla norma». Ma più che alle obiezioni dei Comuni il titolare del Pnrr ha scelto, fin dalla sua partecipazione domenica al Festival dell Economia di Trento, di ribattere all opposizione, partita all attacco nel fine settimana con la segretaria del Pd Elly Schlein che ha accusato la premier Meloni di essere «la regina dell austerità». Il quadro è complesso. Ma, come sempre, i numeri possono aiutare a fare chiarezza; non prima di aver dato un occhiata alle regole reali in discussione. La spending 2024-28. Tutto nasce dalla bozza di decreto attuativo preparata dal ministero dell'Economia per distribuire fra gli enti i tagli di spesa decisi dall ultima legge di bilancio dopo sette anni di tregua per i bilanci locali. Il conto, che vale quest anno 200 milioni per i Comuni e 50 per Province e Città ma cumula 1,25 miliardi (un miliardo per i Comuni) da qui al 2028, insomma non è nuovo; ed era già stato in autunno al centro di uno scontro con i sindaci che aveva portato ad alleggerire un po le cifre iniziali grazie al recupero, in più anni, di una quota di Covid rimasta inutilizzata dalle amministrazioni locali. Il legame con il Pnrr La novità che ha infiammato la scena è il collegamento fra i tagli e il Pnrr. Sul punto la norma, scritta al comma 533 della legge di bilancio per quest anno(legge 213 del 2023), chiede di distribuire i tagli «in proporzione agli impegni di spesa corrente» indicati nei bilanci di ogni ente, ma «tenuto conto delle risorse del Pnrr» assegnate a ciascuna amministrazione alla fine dello scorso anno. Quel «tenuto conto» si è tradotto nella bozza di decreto in una divisione a metà dei tagli: il 50% distribuito seguendo la spesa, l altro 50% in proporzione ai fondi Pnrr. Le uscite relative a «diritti sociali, politiche sociali e famiglia», è sempre il comma 533 a precisarlo, sono escluse dalla base di calcolo che guida la distribuzione del primo 50% della spending, ma non dai tagli. Ne parliamo con Gianni Trovati, del Sole 24 Ore.Approvato il Decreto Salva CasaIl decreto Salva Casa è stato approvato venerdì e che consentirà di regolarizzare diversi elementi interni ed esterni degli immobili, ma peseranno le norme regionali e comunali. Finestre, balconi, nicchie, verande, soppalchi. E anche porte, pareti o, addirittura, intere stanze. Tutti elementi sanabili, a determinate condizioni. Che va sottolineato da subito non sarà sempre facile ottenere. Il provvedimento funzionerà per livelli di difformità crescenti e metterà a disposizione strumenti pensati per regolarizzare varie tipologie di lavori. La prima norma da considerare è quella sulle tolleranze costruttive, che agisce per gli interventi effettuati entro il 24 maggio e tollera alcune divergenze (per una percentuale fino al 5%) tra quello che è presente negli immobili e quanto dichiarato in Comune. Grazie a questo meccanismo alcuni elementi saranno automaticamente considerati regolari, come una stanza o un balcone leggermente più grande. Oggi intanto Salvini è tornato sul tema: "Appena" il decreto Salva casa "uscirà in Gazzetta Ufficiale, spero a ore, lavoreremo subito come gruppo Lega agli emendamenti perché ci sono alcuni interventi che io ho già pronti, che i parlamentari hanno già pronti: penso all'altezza dei soffitti, penso alla riduzione della superficie minima per l'abitabilità, l'abitabilità, penso alla norma salva Milano". Approfondiamo il tema con Giuseppe Latour, Il Sole 24 Ore.

December 2023 marked 82 years since Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor, which spurred American entry into the Second World War. The events of that day are quickly fading from our collective memory. Today, there are just 25 survivors of Pearl Harbor, the youngest of whom is a 99-year-old. Fewer than 2 per cent of Americans have any personal recollection of the events of that day. In this new episode, Jackson and Alex discuss how the attack on Pearl Harbor shaped a generation – colloquially referred to as ‘the Greatest Generation' – and how this pivotal event shaped their worldview. Notably, this generation responded to the threat of National Socialism and fascism to fight to preserve democracy. As we are losing those who remember the attack on Pearl Harbor, how will the events of that day continue to shape America in the future? What lessons can be drawn from Pearl Harbor as we face increasing threats to our democracy today?

Director: Alexander Payne Writers: David Hemingson Starring: Paul Giamatti, Dominic Sessa, Da'Vine Joy Randolph Runtime:  2 Hour 13 Minutes Synopsis:  Paul Giamatti stars in Alexander Payne's latest about the bond that forms between a strict professor and a belligerent student he's stuck supervising over the winter holiday at an elite boarding school. Barton men don't lie. This is just one of the many rules Professor Hunham (Paul Giamatti) takes much too seriously as he hands out poor grades at an elite boarding school in 1971. As he dismisses the politics that come along with educating the children of people in high places, he's punished by the headmaster who gives him a most undesirable assignment for the winter break: to stay at the school and supervise the students who are unable to go home. Hunham resolves to have the students suffer with him, forcing them to start studying next semester's curriculum ahead of time. Among them, 15-year-old Angus (Dominic Sessa), bright but belligerent, makes a ruckus. Teacher and student become foes, antagonizing one another and tiring themselves out, as Mary (Da'Vine Joy Randolph), the school cafeteria manager, observes from the sidelines, herself alone after recently losing her son in the Vietnam War. As the petulant pair succumb to the depressing truth that they've got little else but each other this holiday season, Professor Hunham starts to soften up and they begin to see themselves in one another. Giamatti gives a career-high performance as the risible teacher who delights in doling out punishment, while newcomer Sessa makes an immediate name for himself, revealing layers of complexity to his character's rebellious nature. With The Holdovers, director Alexander Payne (Downsizing, TIFF '17) makes a delicate point about how a first impression never tells the whole truth and shows that the pains and tragedies that feel specific to us actually make us a lot more alike than unalike. The Holdovers is one of those fun, throwback films that manages to remind us of one of those Christmas films from the 80's (set in the 70's) but still has more modern sensibilities. On the surface, it would look like your typical "Teacher stuck with a rebellious teenage and they bond and learn more about each other as their misadventures go on" but there's a lot more to The Holdovers. This is really a film about the masks people wear to prevent people from getting too close. The way that people sometimes retreat into their own heads in order to not confront those things that really trouble and scare them. The three main actors/actresses of The Holdovers also form a really great ensemble that plays extremely well off of each other. This is an example of the classic "Don't judge a book by its cover". None of the characters behave how you would think after first meeting them and that also adds to how enjoyable this film is. Paul Giamatti continues to show how he is such a versatile actor who can take on any challenge presented to him. Initially he comes off as just your stereotypical hardass of a teacher that believes in following the rules over everything but as the film goes on you start seeing there's much more to who he is and why he is the way he is. Dominic Sessa plays the spoiled, asshole kid to perfection but also the audience realizes fairly quickly there's a lot more to what is behind his behavior. It's not revealed until much later in the film and when it does, it's absolutely heartbreaking. The true glue that brings this film together is Da'Vine Joy Randolph. Lesser films would have made Mary's character an afterthought and not given her a solid arc. Instead, The Holdovers recognizes her importance to bridging the gap between Hunham and Agnus but also allows her to go on her own journey with grief and loss.  The Holdovers is an enjoyable surprise that will definitely hit the right emotional buttons for the holidays. Listen as Kriss and the crew talk about The Holdovers.

Sessa - "Vento a Favor" a 2023 single on Mexican Summer São Paulo-based musician Sessa returns with his first new single since last year's enchanting LP Estrela Acesa. The track is co-produced by Brazilian artist Biel Basile and American musician Mikey Coltun, who also plays bass in Mdou Moctar.  "'Vento a Favor' started as a track meant to be on Estrela Acesa," he tells Stereogum. "It was recorded, mixed, and mastered in the same sessions as the whole LP but somewhere along the way, when putting the pieces together, I started to feel that its energy was different from the story I was trying to tell with the record. The track was a bit too sure of its force and movement forward, outwards, while Estrela Acesa's gesture was something more of an inward look, a whisper to the soul. But you know, nothing wrong with that, breathing goes both in and out." Read the full story at KEXP.orgSupport the show: https://www.kexp.org/donateSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
