Now that everyone is talking about nepotism, favoritism or even nepotism in companies and management, I would like to talk about the opposite. Yes, because no matter how much the Minister puts his lovers into public companies, I know another way to do things. Although The closest friends or family members of the powerful person in power intend to hold senior management positions Beyond the sacred principles of equality, merit, and ability, what I have seen in my relationships with companies over the past two decades has not been like that.
In my work, I am fortunate to deal with senior executives in many companies. Now we call them CEO with the English abbreviation of CEO, before we called them directors and always general managers or presidents. Men and women who run companies worth hundreds of millions Providing job opportunities for thousands of families. They sell insurance, mortgages and energy, but also clothing or food. Others make people happy by organizing trips, transporting them or transporting their luggage. There are those who help them with their health or legal concerns. And many more that I will never forget. They live off their clients and serve their employers, and sometimes investors or business families. They lead teams they created or inherited With responsibility for achieving goals.
Well, all these CEOs that I deal with, They share characteristics that should be known Now the loss of reputation for access to employment has become a topic of conversation. All of them High-performance people, such as competitive athletes. They are prepared – and the vast majority of them have studied University courses are in high demand– But they continued to update themselves through the specialized courses they wanted to take voluntarily and despite sacrificing their personal lives.
Meanwhile, everyone had to pack their bags Work outside your city and country of origin. They have gone through different offers and jobs to be screened in some way before arriving at their current positions. All of them, despite having business positions that we would consider successful, have not yet settled down They have the ambition to improve as if it were their first day on the job.. Many of them have experienced setbacks such as layoffs or poor results and have not given up because of it.
And they are in their CEO responsibility because they deserve it And not because no one gave him anything. They realize that they live in Maximum demanding environment They prepare for it psychologically and physically. You know that too Your position will not be for life And that other times and jobs will come. They have the humility to listen to advice when they are usually the ones giving it and accept recommendations willingly as long as they are experts. They look for the best teams and sign talent, never friends.
This explanation of the qualities and merits of the people who govern major Spanish companies is not intended to give anyone deaf ears – these CEOs know how to protect themselves from flattery – but rather It is a message to young people entering the labor market Or they will soon, also for those who are just starting in a company and watching the news think that all bosses are like Ábalos and the company. It’s not like that. A country like Spain is supported by its corporations and leaders who direct it in the opposite direction to that vile way of being.. Trained CEOs who get into their positions every day with high demands and with many personal resignations. Let’s not forget.
