MANAGEMENT PRINCIPLES

 During my management years I have come to 4 conclusions. You can go through them in here

I believe in simplicity with a focus  on the essential parts of the business. This means, lean structures  and processes. Less complexity means lower costs, more flexibility and more capacity to grow. 

Planning  is a key element in management. It is essential to know where you want to go, how you are going to do it and study  the hurdles you may find along  the journey. 

At the same time, only by having  a flexible  structure and  flexible contracts with  key stakeholders corporations    we can navigate through turbulent times and  at the same time to grow when the wind is blowing in the right direction.

Risk management  always has  been an area  of interest , both at company or individual levels.  During my times as Quality and safety  Director,  I confirmed   that, evaluating accurately the risks involved in the plans and  putting in place realistic back up plans  are key for a long term success .

It is commonly admitted,  although  unfortunately not always implemented that people are number one asset.  After being CEO of a large corporation,  I fully believe that only  by choosing the right  loyal, committed, skilled  staff and keep them motivated, organizations can succeed in the long run.

I always have tried to lead by example. Even in senior management roles,   I kept my flying licenses  updated to see the operation from the  frontline. That  decision has given me a real vision  of the business  and the capacity to  challenge  the  Power Points KPI´s presentations at the headquarters.
