On Harmony
What is harmony? We all strive for harmony, but we often are content with artificial harmony, simply avoiding conflict. Our brain has the unique ability to put different notes together and hear them in harmony, even if the instruments are entirely out of tune. That also happens in real life. We need to stay away from false harmony and thrive for real, magic harmony.  More about Bernhard Kerres, a Leadership Coach based in Vienna, Austria, on www.bernhardkerres.com.
