person supervising the cleaning of Helsinki's metro was working from home.
Flying the country Economy Class, Liisa tells 3,500 staff at 25 branches
to kill routine before it kills you. At SOL Days, Japanese - style motivation
sessions, she has the whole hall dancing, and urges staff: The better you think
