Who knows what time it is! In Portuguese "Quem sabe faz a hora!"
The right skills in uncertain times Since the acceleration of globalization in the early 1990s, the world of work has not had such a significant impact. The new coronavirus pandemic has definitely changed professional relationships in every way. The need for distance and isolation intensified some movements that were already taking shape before the spread of the virus, such as distance work (the so-called home office), the use of new technologies and the strengthening of e-commerce. The sense of urgency, however, also demanded a rethinking of management and operation. From large corporations to small entrepreneurs, everyone found themselves – and still see themselves – challenged by the unfolding of the pandemic. Real challenges in virtual times. In this context, the philosopher Mario Sergio Cortella turns his focus to the world of work and, in his characteristic direct and inspiring way, he talks about the right skills in uncertain times. The considerations, however, are not restricted to the issue of the pandemic; this is the serious but transitory environment, without being the horizon! Cortella addresses decisive issues for professionals who occupy leadership positions, who are responsible for management and also for those who have these aspirations in undertaking their careers.
6. How do you build leadership capacity in a large enterprise?
With the right people in the right places.
7. What is one meaningful story that comes to mind from your time as a CEO or executive of a large enterprise so far?
Once I went to take a serious problem to my boss, I was super excited, he told me to calm down and that nervous as I was wouldn't solve it, I calmed down and told me calmly what had happened, he said then what was the solution, that is, moral of the story I already had a solution, it was enough just to be calm to reason better.
