		<description>Dear Amy,

thank you for your comment! It is very interesting to read the thoughts of someone from another organisation. The emphasis on Edward de Bono's Six Thinking Hats on my part was not done by chance, I also think it to be very effective and I am glad to have someone else reinforce this thought :) In addition, thank you for explaining the process itself, it is very helpful.</description>

		<description>I think that is a very important point for leaders (and everyone) to think about. Consistency as a leader is also a very important point as it helps those you lead better understand your expectations of them.  Thank you for also mentioning Edward de Bono's Six Thinking Hats process. I use the hats each day for problem solving, decision making, and crafting new solutions for our organization. When problem solving, Six Thinking Hats help me focus in on what the problem really is (like you mentioned above - have we identified the problem itself or just a symtom of the problem?). The white hat helps identify what may be causing the problem. The green hat helps me generate ideas for solving the problem and the yellow and black hats help identify benefits / possible weaknesses of those ideas. The red hat helps me choose the best solution and the blue hat identifies next steps / action plans.</description>

		<description>Dear Annamari,

Thanks for the comment, and you are very welcome for all the help -- my pleasure. I think as a start, focus on the values and on the identification part; solving a problem is much easier by takint these two steps. 
Emotion-based problems are so special that it would require an entire article (or even more :)) to write about it. I completely agree with you that for the leader reaching their goals is impossible without the assistance of all the people around. However, if the people are unaware of these goals, what will they possible achieve? :)

Thanks again for writing,
Gergo</description>

		<description>Dear Gerg?!

First of all, I would like to thank you for all the help you give me.  It would be so much harder to find my strengths and weaknesses without a “mentor“  like you.  
Your article is a great starting-point for me to be prepared for the next year.  On the other hand I am afraid, there are not enough good advices on the world to allow for all possibilities. As a beginner, in the first time I could only take a purchase on my own skills. After getting some experience it will be easier to use the methods consciously. 
It is a great pleasure to me that you focused on emotion-based problems.  I truly believe that these are the most difficult situations for a leader.  A man of great learning can’t gain his goals without the assistance of all the people around.</description>

I would like to encourage You and also anybody to share their views on the articles. It is a great way to enrich our way of thinking, so my advise is to cease this opportunity!</description>
