If there is a skill that is essential to develop in those who lead, it is that of being a good care manager. When there is personal management of attention, there is more balance, greater self-knowledge, empathy and a perception of quality.

For example, in project management and development, how many and how often do we reach the end of them and realize that they are highly questionable ​​such as options, the quality or even the relevance of the lessons learned or the skills developed!
