Deciding like Carlos Tavares
Translated from the French original.
I’m a great fan of Carlos TAVARES. At least of the image the media reflect of him.
His convictions speak to me, especially when it comes to respectful collective effectiveness.
An article in Les Échos this week gives him the floor once again.
Carlos Tavares, les leçons de management du sauveur de Peugeot
In it, he explains how he behaves in meetings.
“For example, when we have a meeting on a topic, I try to stay quiet during the presentation and then hand out the floor. It’s hard, but I’ve learnt to manage myself. At the end, I reformulate and I make the call, with my own weighting — debatable, of course.”
In fewer than fifty words, he gives a lesson we can ALL apply.
Indeed, you don’t need to be called Carlos TAVARES to one day be responsible for a meeting.
And to apply three virtues
discipline, listening, courage.
I’ve just been talking about it with my friend Fatima, the manager of the crêperie downstairs from my flat…
I recommended she do like Carlos next Saturday, when she brings her team together.
prepare, listen and bring everyone on board.
