De multiplicator voor onze neurologische schakelingen is Energie: waarom doen we iets, of niets? Hoe komt het dat we voor die éne taak wel in vuur in vlam geraken, en voor die andere zijn we niet vooruit te branden! En hoe krijgen we via authentiek Leiderschap de anderen in vuur en vlam? “CHARGE” betekent opladen, ten aanval én “in charge zijn”: de leiding nemen! Act Now!!
