I Want To Sell My Grandmother's Pearls

The most important management lesson I have ever received

I was at the time, I talk about many years ago, a young manager / consultant who ran in Zambia, on behalf of a company of the Mediobanca Olivetti dealer, dealing At the same time sub-Saharan countries on behalf of Olivetti itself.
One Saturday afternoon I was offered the Directorate General of Industry and articulated trucks: I took possession of the office on Monday morning. It was the Lusaka Engineering Company, 1,400 people, 40% State participation in Zambia, 40% and 20% Mediobanca Fratelli Piacenza. My last experience of management had been until then the steering assistance customers on the technical area of \u200b\u200bLondon (230 technicians). I felt so honest to declare my hesitation to take the job on grounds of manifest lack of experience. I had a lot of courage: I forgot to tell me that the offer was made personally by Dr. Enrico Cuccia. And it is from him I received a lesson in management that I will never forget. The man spoke very little, then I got to meet him a couple more times in Africa and Milan. He wrote on a piece that I still have four sentences: invoices, invoices, receipts, payments received and payments made. I turned the paper because I read it and said, "Look engineer Monday she goes to the factory for two weeks does not take and any decision you make every night in his office by the Chief Administrative these four numbers at the end of two weeks together all the directors (managers did not use the word) around the table of the Executive, holds the numbers in order before him, and begins to ask questions. You will see that after the meeting will be able to make decisions. "I followed the instructions to the letter, fortunately I had a secretary English not very attractive but very efficient, and after two years of my management for Price Waterhouse he could draw up a report full of praise for management.

Some ideas and tools to take advantage of this great moment is going through the ' The economy

I'm not doing the easy irony in considering the economic moment "awesome." When we look back on this period, the end of 2008, 2009 and 2010, if we have been able to take advantage of opportunities that we have been offered, or that we have been able to create, we can congratulate ourselves. But we think and act differently from how we have acted and thought until ora.Non we are talking about reckless optimism, positive thinking, or spend money that we do not, we're not talking about waiting for the difficult period will pass and everything is as before, we are not thinking about how to get along and survive anything. The opportunities will present themselves in a completely different way to exploit it and then we will think and act in a fully specified otherwise.
1. Many people, managers and entrepreneurs or employees publici e privati, stanno guardando al proprio futuro cercando di sopravvivere. Si fanno piccoli aggiustamenti, si riducono le spese, si tagliano i costi (in generale la promozione, la formazione e il personale) tagliandosi così le gambe per quando la crisi finirà, se mai si riuscirà a restare sul mercato fino a quel momento. Occorre invece porsi dei grandi obiettivi ed investire per raggiungerli tutte le risorse che abbiamo. Non sto parlando solo di risorse economico/finanziarie ma di entusiasmo, capacità di lavoro, competenze e conoscenze.
2. Quando avremo deciso con fermezza quello che vogliamo fare nei prossimi due o tre anni, quando avremo identificato i nostri obiettivi, occorrerà pensare come se li avessimo già raggiunti. Occorrerà dunque metterci nel futuro ed agire e pensare come se avessimo già raggiunto quello che volevamo. Non si tratta di una battuta ma di un metodo scientifico e quindi sperimentato. Noi abbiamo ua capacità mentale cosciente (conscious mind ) che è in grado di elaborare circa 40 informazioni al secondo, ed una capacità mentale subconscia (subconscious mind) che è capace di elaborare 4 milioni di informazioni al secondo. Dobbiamo quindi non affidarci solo al razionale, col quale vedremo solo le cose e gli avvenimenti spesso deprimenti che ci circondano, ma cercare di riprogrammare il nostro subconscio. E’ quello che di solito fanno gli atleti prima di una gara impegnativa: si pongono nell’attegiamento mentale del vincitore. There are several ways to achieve this state of mind and we'll talk.
3. Not enough to be able to exploit the opportunities that present themselves, you must be proactive: to build the opportunities to exploit. To do this it is important to grow your network, your network of contacts. We must seek to build relationships with people as you can and should do this not only to those who think we can be of assistance but also to those who may need our help.
4. Be ready, be prepared for when the crisis ends. We have the knowledge, skills, experience, talent, passion, foster, and enhance these values \u200b\u200bbecause there is definitely someone who needs our knowledge, skills, experience, talent and passion.
think about these things during the month of August. You again in September. Anyway I will stay connected and always ready to respond to emails.
