We need to make happy those we want to make better! | Tribunes | Scoop.it

"Empowerment and trust generate positive and powerful implementation, with teams quickly rolling out a shared decision enriched by all. Organizations learn from their failures and foster risk-taking and experimentation, which are vital to success. In a sense, managers are like mountain guides, leading their co-workers to a hard-to-reach summit that no-one would have attained alone. The team works like a roped party in which each person supports and complements one another on the basis of mutual trust."

"It has now been more than a year that I have started being responsible for Marketing & Development at Saint-Gobain. Exciting times for the company, that is undergoing a transformation program to become closer to its customers – and exciting times for my team and myself to further shape and strengthen the role of marketing. Although we all have busy days at work, I think that it’s always important to take a step back and reflect on our field of expertise. I’m glad to use the platform that is Linkedin, to share my thoughts on this journey and exchange, give food for thought and share practical examples and advice. In this third article on how to create a competitive advantage thanks to our customer service department."
