Leadership for The New Generation…
By Maxim Behar
In the weekly column “Max’s Column” for the Bulgarian TBmagazine, I talk about the difficulties and changes in the Bulgarian economy and business and the only force that counts — experience.
In business, ethics have always been important. Nowadays, it’s a hundred times more important. The new generation, for which under the road and over the road the managers squeal and hoot, is wonderful. Young people with super educations, several languages they speak perfectly, and an incredible sense of right and wrong. They want calm in some very turbulent times, even salaries in times of unremembered crisis, and elegant attitudes and tolerance as our businesses change at the speed of light.
So far, everything is exactly as it should be. I argue daily with the whining, disgruntled managers and explain to them that it is not the younger generation that is yet to come into our companies but we, the managers, who must change. Quickly and forever.
However, what we cannot change in our colleagues is their self-confidence. It must be very high, so we look up to them, even if there is little substance. And I hope that will happen soon!
