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: Social responsibility can improve your financial performance

 Social responsibility represents benefits for the society where the organizations are located, but for the companies too , since their effects are also felt in profitability.Just as you read it, it is proven that the risk of affecting the profitability of companies and enterprises grows when there is no specific application of responsibility with the organization's environment, nor transparency and business ethics. It is therefore, essential that organizations incorporate socially responsible actions into their management and, the benefits go beyond philanthropy or timely help that companies can provide to the communities where they operate.The actions of social responsibility are highly beneficial for organizations beyond the immediate effect that their action generates in society, and in the long term, the contribution that companies and enterprises make in their environment help generate a virtuous circle and healthy economic development.  How they do this...

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.
