“The most qualified person to make a great contribution to the company is the mature person – and you will not have maturity if you have no life or interests outside of work.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\nI have lived with top executives, for whom the only subject for conversation was business. Others had a vast culture, able to address the most diverse subjects, in any company, whether employees, clients, conventions, or dinners. It was truly an enriching experience to be close to these leaders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Without exception, this type of personality always opened doors to clients, contributed to complex negotiations, consequently bringing excellent results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I have learned through experience and observation that many completely different areas of business enrich decisions, bring new insights, reflecting directly on professional activity. We talk about history, biology, archeology, sociology, psychology, philosophy, and many others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This broadening of horizons develops various other leadership competencies. There is a greater capacity to understand the internal and external environment, develop empathy, gain a better understanding of human nature. This learning process is not in the academic benches. It depends on each one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The blossoming of the mature magnolia is what brings beauty, inspiration, and the desire to follow its example. It is not necessary for her to describe herself. Just observe her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As final considerations, the magnolia brings two great management lessons: First, its ability to strengthen the roots of knowledge and experience, bringing the confidence of solid growth. There is no hurry; nature takes its course, and a lot of patience is needed to reach the point where we think we should be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Second, its resilience to withstand all external pressures, often suffering from lack of nutrients, or even attacks from pests, resisting lack of watering, and many other pressures, but maintaining its growth and pursuit of its fullness. This returns in the form of enormous well-being and beauty of its environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That is its essence: to contribute to the environment, and not just to grow to contemplate its own beauty.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
