Oscar Motomura

Ontem assisti uma entrevista com Osca Motomura. Este é diretor da Amana-Key (um centro de treinamento) e um dos maiores especialistas brasileiros em treinamento de executivos.

No final da entrevista, pediram para ele falar uma frase que achei muito interessante. Ele parafraseou um pensador taoista:

“O melhor atleta quer seu oponente na sua melhor forma”.

Aconselho a todos a conhecerem o trabalho desse grande profissional. Acesse o site da Amana-Key e leiam alguns artigos escritos pelo senhor Motomura.

Quem quiser pode assistir nessa semana a entrevista que a Marília Grabriela fez com ele para o canal GNT. Seguem os dias e horários: Qua 05/12 10:00h - Sáb 08/12 10:30h - Sáb 08/12 15:00h .
