Thierry Delaporte’s Life Aphorisms
Thierry Delaporte is a football fan. He always used to say that you can be a great player. However, we cannot become a team if we do not work together. We do business for the people. Everything we do depends on people; we must understand what they want. I like talking to people.
As a CEO, I miss the conversations, the coffee machine, the laughter, and the jokes in the office. People are afraid of making decisions, and not making a decision is also a big mistake. If you want to do something, then do it now. Listen to yourself, and never let an opportunity slip away.
If you learn from and help each other, everyone wins. My family is my pride. We should work on strengthening our personal and professional relationships. You create a system that can work automatically. No one should need it. This is my motivation.
