Key takeaways: What José Luiz Rossi said…
- On the importance of winning…
“I like to win in the marketplace. The adrenaline of running a successful company is something very nice. I’m a competitive person. Winning by doing the right thing is something that motivates me.”
- On the changing face of leadership…
“When I started [40 years ago] management was all about hierarchy… command and control. There was no appreciation of softer skills. Today you need to think about being inclusive… giving autonomy to people.”
- On the need for leaders to adapt to stay relevant…
“A lot of my colleagues have left the market because they couldn’t adapt… more have become obsolete [as a result] of management change, than technology change.”
- On self-promotion…
“It took me years to realise the importance of networking… and building your personal brand. I wish I had understood that earlier.”
- On knowing the right time to change career – and leaving one job before you have another…
“If you have a good job, it’s difficult to [force yourself] to move. You have a good salary; you are in a comfortable position you don’t move. Leaving gives you a compelling reason to change!”
- On what he may do differently if he had his time again…
“I would invest in mastering public speaking, earlier in my career. [Leaders] need the skills to talk to bigger audiences.”
- On working in different cultures…
“If we a do a good presentation to Americans, they say: That’s awesome… fantastic! The Brits will just say: That’s not too bad!”
- On the importance of showing leadership on global, social issues…
“You need to show you care. I come from a very humble background. My great grandparents were peasants… they were illiterate. I know how important it is for people to be given opportunities. Being open and inclusive is the right thing to do.”
- On the lack of economic stability around the world…
“The time of cheap money, cheap energy and cheap logistics is gone. There is no stability. Continuous change is the norm now. Leaders need to adapt to stay relevant.”
- Advice for leaders and would-be leaders…
“Jobs end at 5pm – but careers don’t! You need to do more than the average person if you want to differentiate yourself.”
