We recently welcomed a new employee, Maria Castillo, to the Lex Documents Brussels office, and I wanted to introduce her on LinkedIn and also share a really cool fact about her… that she’s a top professional frisbee player on team Belgium! Though I love sports, I wasn’t too familiar with Frisbee, but since Maria is currently ranked 19th in all of Europe (!), I ended up asking a lot of questions about it, and learned about the rules of the sport… (By the way, here’s an article about the top 25 female-matching players in Europe, where Maria is featured! 🤩https://lnkd.in/d8_NHnBm) And the more we talked, the more I realized not only did I really start to appreciate professional Frisbee, but I also thought the rules were very applicable to business. Specifically, these three rules struck a chord with me, so I wanted to share my thoughts about them… 🚫 NO-CONTACT In Frisbee, players aren’t looking to physically take down their rivals or aggressively go after them for the sake of it. Any contact between opposing players is a foul. I like this because, while there’s a lot of competition in business competition, I actually like the idea of not wanting to “take down” our competition but instead focus on being OUR best, doing the best by OUR clients, and winning with strategy and skill. 👍 SELF-OFFICIATION If there’s a foul or any other call, players are expected to take responsibility and self-mediate disputes as they come up. I thought this was pretty unique in a sport, but also really fantastic practice in terms of cooperation and communication. For me, in business, we try to do our best, take responsibility when we make mistakes, and figure out ways to problem-solve on our own. 🤝 A BALANCE OF COMPETITION AND RESPECT While competitiveness can make for a great game, it is not the sole focus. A game where players respect each other, the rules, and have fun is most important. I think the same rules should apply at work - we should want to do well but not at the cost of others and make sure that the work we do is enjoyable! . . . Thoughts on this? #businesstravel #immigration #businessstrategy #globalmobility #ultimatefrisbee

💡Great companies thrive on great leadership! Get to know our Regional Director for Poland & Bulgaria, a driving force behind Foundever's success for 16 years! Monika Röhr-Łukasik shares insights on her journey with the company: “This year, Foundever celebrates its 20th anniversary of operating in Poland, which naturally leads to reflection on the company's performance. It's not insignificant to me that I am part of the company's history, having worked here for 16 years now. Starting my career as an Applied Linguistics student, I assumed I would supplement my household budget and probably, after a few months, embark on a career path in line with my education – I planned to work in diplomacy and strongly advocate for the positive image of Poland on the international stage while nurturing international relations. However, it turned out that Foundever was "my place," where I acquired a multitude of skills that not only shaped me as a manager but also had a tremendous impact on the development of my life. Today, I have the honor of leading Foundever Poland as Managing Director for four years now. These have been years of immense transformation and company growth. I am pleased to see actions strongly focused on the employee. In my work, I am guided by several principles: from simple ones like "We are all only human," because behind all productivity, quality, and financial metrics are people who have their needs, limitations, but above all, strengths. So, I build teams based on their strengths and rejoice in the career development of many of my subordinates. Another important motto for me is "The only limitations that exist are those we impose on ourselves." I have often found that courage is the fuel for development, and development always means change.” 💡Who will we have the pleasure of meeting at our 20 years anniversary conference? We're eager to hear your professional stories and insights! #CXConference #HumanTouchCX #FoundeverPoland

Why did we choose Sweden as our first international destination? 🇸🇪 ▪️ First and foremost, it is a country that is very close to our values – even if the Baltic Sea separates us. Just like in Poland, the customer is always our top priority. We have identified four fundamental values that connect us with Sweden: 1️⃣ Transparency As KUBO, we want everything to be clear and understandable. We avoid any misunderstandings through efficient communication and mutual agreement. We are always open to your questions. 2️⃣ Punctuality Agreed-upon deadlines are sacred to us, and we perform all services with precision and timeliness. The only thing we would like to draw out is a good partnership 😉 3️⃣ Attachment to Tradition We are deeply attached to tradition. It is through them that we can unite, as they shape our identity. That's why, as much as we like to talk about them, we also enjoy listening to them. And after all, we share a common history with Sweden. 4️⃣ Work-life balance We know how vital well-being is, so we care about work-life balance. We support each other to ensure that everyone is happy – not only at work but also in terms of hobbies and interests. We believe that Sweden is one of the best places to expand the KUBO Team. We are extremely excited that we can work with you right here! 😊 #Sweden #Swedenjobs
