Mauro Libi Crestani: Trust yourself and create your own brand and it may turn out to be better than anything else.

By Mauro Libi Crestani. A cynic is a man who knows the price of everything, and the value of nothing.” , Oscar Wilde. Having a positive attitude opens your eyes. “A great attitude does much more than turn on the lights in our worlds; it seems to magically connect us to all sorts of serendipitous opportunities that were somehow absent before the change.”  


We all have met people with negative and poor attitudes. They may be the people in your company that can not judge the value of a product beyond it’s cost. They were the ones that will tell you in many excuses why something will not work. In their mind and in their world nothing will work. They will tell you about the cost and the overhead and can not see a winning product. 


The Swiss Watch Industry was, meanwhile, able to continue producing watches and once the war was over, enjoyed a market advantage that allowed it to command up to 90% of the world’s consumer watch industry. In 1954, Swiss engineer Max Hetzel developed an electronic wristwatch . The Swiss watch company saw no value in electronic watches. So they allowed the engineer and his invention to go to the Japanese. By the time the 1970’s started the Swiss watch company was in an economic crisis. It no longer had the bulk of the world’s watch sales. The swiss company had the invention and let it go. Their downfall was their attitude. Having a negative attitude in business  can be so toxic that t reminds me of a quote from Helen Keller, “There is nothing so sad as a person that eyes and can not see.” 


“If you always put limit on everything you do, physical or anything else. It will spread into your work and into your life. There are no limits. There are only plateaus, and you must not stay there, you must go beyond them.” Bruce Lee.  I guess Bruce Lee had his own way of saying that if you are positive the sky is the limit.   The real successful people and companies want to excel and to be the first in technology. The boxer Muhammed Ali believed that he could achieve anything in the boxing world. He was famous for saying, ‘I am the greatest.’ He believed it and he made it happen. Mr Ali has said that he became the greatest in boxing because he knew that was the greatest before he actually was.


I want end by quoting once again Bruce Lee, “Always be yourself, express yourself, have faith in yourself, do not go out and look for a successful personality and duplicate it.”   We all have a different set of talents. If we are positive and believe that our own brand has value then we follow our own way. We tend to copy others when we feel that people will not accept us for who we are, that they will not buy our brand of product. We may try to imitate  others because we have a negative view of ourselves. Trust yourself and create your own brand and it may turn out to be better than  anything else. By Mauro Libi Crestani.

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.

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. 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.

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…..
