Ernst Jan Reitsma

Ernst Jan's passion is to cure, heal or repair what people stops to realize their dreams in work. He is hopelessly in love with organizational psychology and is always trying to understand and influence what people do while being part of an organization. Most of us are autonomous, responsible adults. Why do we stop acting as such when we enter the workplace? What is the role of the self-fulfilling prophecy (Pygmalion) creating this situation? Why can youngsters and start ups skip all this and do whatever they like to realize their dreams?
