Mauro Libi: Action Oriented

Would have, could have, should have. Those three expressions should never be used in your life or in your business. A successful person is good at his word. When you say something mean it. No excuses accepted. Those three expressions are expressions of excuses. Your word has to be sacred. You want the people in your personal life and in your business life to feel secure with your word. When you say something, that is the way it is going to be. No excuses, no worry. 

Your clients will know and be fully confident that you do not just talk. You act. When we spoke about time management, we spoke about allowing extra time for mishaps. Things happen. You may not be able to get certain necessary parts to finish a job. An extraordinary manager would have allowed extra time in his time estimate that he gave his client from the start. Now that we have the extra time, we can look for alternative ways of getting what we need so that we can finish on time. We act even when the environment is not so friendly. We get things done. We keep our promises. A promise is just empty words unless you can back it up with a successful conclusion and a happy customer. 


An extraordinary manager will never procrastinate. They will never use the excuse that the market is not ripe to start that project right now. That now is not a good time. A good manager will modify the plan to fit the present circumstance but he will find a way to make it a success.  A procrastinator finds reasons why now is not a good time to do this project. An action oriented person is too busy working on the task, adapting it to the present set of circumstances and ready for their next win.

Mauro Libi Crestani: Change initiatives are not just whole scale business transformations

By  Mauro Libi Crestani.  Business hire management teams to figure out new ways to solve customer problems, improve products, create new revenue streams, and reduce costs. This involves creating new ideas for change. Technology, innovation, products and the way of doing business means coming up with new ideas for staying competitive in today’s quick moving market. Every change starts with an idea—a vision of what could happen to create a tangible benefit for an organization. But ideas are not enough. Change initiatives are not just whole scale business transformations. These make-or-break moments can also be leadership changes, restructurings, culture changes, system implementations, operational excellence programs, workforce programs or new market expansions. This involves time and money. Given all the investment in change and its importance to a company’s future health it is important to take note that…..

Mauro Libi Crestani: Negative attitude can destroy your career and personal life

I once went into a car dealership for a car purchase. I was meet by a salesman who was dressed in a well ironed suit and he had the biggest smile. He introduced himself by name and he asked for my name. He offered me something to drink as we discussed my desires in a car.  Let me assure you, that you came to the right place. He had been with that dealership for years. His customers stayed with him each time they wanted a new car.  I was told that this car dealership was about positive attitude. The salespeople , the finance  department , the service department all had to be positive that their customers were treated with the best service and that all their needs and concerns were listened to and acted on. I felt so positive that this was the place for me.  I have a married friend  who in sales. He is always depressed and always quiet. He is my friend and I once went to him to purchase his product for my company. He was telling me how sales were down, that he was not sure that he w

How does technology help in business communication?

One of the elements which has undoubtedly worked to support our growth, expansion and excellence projects in the last years, has been technology applied to business communication. I still remember when everything was reduced to memos, billboards, advertisements, photos and one or another printed publication in order to communicate inside the company; at the same time absolutely massive Advertising in existing media was in charge to go to the great public which included our customers and prospects.  Today we can say that with the advance of humankind, communication needed is also appearing. And our times make use of digital communication to improve business processes with more efficient and functional ways which allow more interaction, and overall, business productivity.
