M Biver CEO of Hublot watches gave a talk this evening... at first I thought he had spent rather longer at the wine tasting than the rest of us. However, it became clear this was his style... He talked about his business philosophy as a leader and CEO. Basically it revolved around love...
He had three key messages:
1. SHARE - as a leader share your knowledge and your failures. Share success also NEVER say any success is yours personally - it is the team's success otherwise you are not a leader - you are rather sad and lonely!
2. RESPECT - respect your suppliers - they are critical to your customer offering. Respect your people and customers - an "act of love" (when questioned later - it appears that this message does not apply to competitors!)
3. FORGIVE - you must be capable of forgiving mistakes - if you cannot forgive you should not be the boss. If people don't make mistakes there is no future. No success without failure! However, no repeating mistakes - if you do then "goodbye" is his philosophy...
These three approaches should be at a leader's work AND at home.
Be "young". Young means active. Forget the body (sorry Neil) - the brain and heart must remain young - give love as a leader and remain active... You can be 85 and still young...
Some interesting views...
