A palestra internacional da ExpoGestão 2023 com italiana Barbara Borra, presidente global da multinacional suíça Franke Home Solutions, mostrou a importância das pessoas em todas as relações no mundo dos negócios. Não há organizações, nem estratégias, tampouco planos de crescimento que irão prosperar sem as pessoas como as verdadeiras condutoras. Estar atento aos colaboradores e ter humildade para aprender com eles.

16. A successful organization is all about people
16
“I always look at how people behave, how well they can play in team, how well they take
accountability for difficult situations. This is what is most important to me.
17. A simple recipe to drive the business forward
17
Only possible when you have the right people in the right place
1
PEOPLE
The best people, who are committed,
aligned and motivated. They share the
vision to create a simple, understandable
and powerful strategy.
2
PRODUCTS
Distinctive, aspirational, reliable range of
products. Without this, the good people will
leave, and you will not be a credible
partner for your customers.
3
GO-TO-MARKET
The right channels and the most
appropriate partners, who share the vision,
who represent the brand and the portfolio
in good and bad times, who create the
value in the marketplace.
4
BRAND
When all other elements are lined up, it’s
time to invest in the brand.
Otherwise, customers and consumers will
be disappointed because they will buy
products which are not up to their
expectations.
18. Essential attributes for a winning team
18
What makes people, the right people
Humbleness, curiosity and leadership by example are
essential attributes to create a winning, cohesive team.
The common denominator across roles, from the most
junior to the senior ones, is always to bring transformation,
to break away from the status quo, to drive the business to
operate at another level.
All the above cannot be accomplished without having passionate people, as
ambassadors of the Brand.
19. How to guide a person’s growth
19
I love to take “risks” on people, offering stretched assignments on territory where they have not
yet been tested.
Donegani gave me wings and this is the promise I make to myself every day when I hire young
(and not so young) talent in the company: to enable them to fly!
Every good leader should donate wings
to people and let them learn to fly for
themselves. There is no better way to
grow than pushing your boundaries and
leaving your comfort zone.
20. My final advice to a young & talented professional
20
Follow your instinct and take your own path. It
will be a unique and unrepeatable experience.
The best advice I can give to a young professional is not to mirror anyone, but
instead to let your instincts guide you and to follow the path you feel you were
born to follow, which will be unique and unrepeatable!
