Hi everybody. Are You alive and fresh again, so that Your
eyes can safely make their journey through my 3rd post
? I mean, right now it is saturday morning here in São Paulo and last night was friday night, so it might be a little
too early still for at least some of You ….. Don`t worry, You`re excused. I know You. Leave my post besides and read it
in 5 hours.
Let me please at first give You some important general comments about my blog. When I
started this blog exactly 3 days ago, I did not really read or understand a lot
about the technical features of the blogger tool and the google functionality.
started this blog exactly 3 days ago, I did not really read or understand a lot
about the technical features of the blogger tool and the google functionality.
I just identified it quickly as one of the leading tools for people running blogs
and after having played 5 minutes with it, I decided, that it`s very easy to
use it and that therefore I`d like it. Anyhow I did not want to become much more
than a pure user of this tool.

All the details, how it`s built and works etc.
were truly spoken not at all of my interest. But after having done my first 2
posts and after having received a lot of fantastic feedback from wonderful people allover the world, I have been made aware of some general deficiencies,
which definitely have origin in my very basic blogger tool know how.

which definitely have origin in my very basic blogger tool know how.
Many
people would like to become followers of my blog directly here in
blogger/google, but we couldn`t find out yet, how to enable this. Others found
difficulties to place their comments directly into my posts in blogger. I am
really ashame for that, but must I admit, that I have not the least clue yet, how to get
this fixed. Why not do some “crowd brain funding” and appeal to Your experience with regards to these purely technical system questions?

Maybe
the one or other of You can easily give us blind fish the right hints, how to become a
follower of my blog in blogger/google and how to access easily my blog posts
for reading and commenting from anywhere in the internet. For all those, who for whatever reasons prefer
this, You can also just follow me in linkedin and find my daily blog posts
there as well.

But I wouldn`t love, to find my blog in blogger soon looking the same as a graveyard. This
refers to the joke, where 3 people participate in the burrial of a person and –
standing at the open grave – one of them says to the others “I can`t understand
this. He had more 80.000 followers”.

And this little story leads me
already to sharing with You a really important
learning experience, which I have made during the last 25 years of my career in general management functions as Plant Manager, Managing Director, CEO and President for first
class german industrial companies like Henkel, ElringKlinger, BOS, IWKA/Oystar,
GEA Heat Exchangers and now – already since almost six years – for Vulkan at different places around the globe.

What I can state clearly so far is, that as a General Manager nobody nowadays, in
the modern, professional world, expects You to be an expert in all business
dimensions related to Your function and company.

With todays complexity, high velocity and dynamic of our businesses, to be true, hardly anybody
would even be able, to accomplish this. This can still work only, when people start very early
in a company and climb up the career ladder there during long enough years, maybe all their life long.

But I think, even this management model has more and more become very seldom and rare in our modern
industry world . So, how to become able to dominate such multiple functions within the general business
responsability safely and without permanent risk of heart attack, alcoholism and repeated divorce?

The only, but really easy and secure way, to master this challenge,
is to find the right, qualified, experienced and trustful people, each of them an
excelent expert in his area of responsability, to form a strong and highly motivated team with all of them, to give each of them authority, resources and support enough for
becoming able, to do his job efficiently with high productivity, and to constantly motivate and inspire this whole team
for seeking ceaselessly new challenging targets and outstanding results. That`s it. So easy

I have personally already had the luck and opportunity,
to learn this in practice during more than 25 years in several totally different – all of these global leaders in their business segment– industrial companies of totally different structures, sizes, company
cultures and in totally different industries, market segments, global locations and cultural, economical and political environments.

Thus I have gained plenty of good (and bad) experience with setting up such strong, highly
motivated and excellently performing teams, which gives me really extreme pride and
satisfaction. With this background described, I am showing You In this post a picture of my
current management team, together with which I run successfully our fantastic and highly successful – even in Brazil and despite the Covid-19 crisis – company
Vulkan do Brasil (200 employees, global product development & engineering center for our industrial division, highly efficient, lean, agile factory, 3 different aggressive sales divisions with different sales area responsabilities;

While writing this new post, I am
listening to piano concerts from good old Mozart, one of my favorite
classical music composers. But instead of making me relaxed, Mozart makes me quite angry right now. Due to this damned
Covid-19 crisis, I needed to finally cancel my wife`s and my own holiday trip to
Europe, originally scheduled (flights, rental car, hotel, entertainment, leisure activities in the south of Germany, Vienna, Prague, Budapest and Dresden, all already firmly booked since a year ago) for july.

One of the
highlights of these unbelievably beautiful vacations should have been our attendance of a Mozart concert in the famous Vienna Opera House. Oh shit….. Gone now. Forget it. Hope we can re-take all these fabulous
plans next year once again. Please cross Your fingers for my wife and me.

One more crazy comment. People normally can`t believe when they drive in my car with me and hear my mostly playing music playlist, which mixes Rolling Stones titles with Mozart piano pieces.
This is a a very stimulant combination of power and equilibrium, of speed and slowness……You might want to try this out by Yourself one day.
Let me know, whether this made You feel as delighted as it does for me. Thank You for having accompanied my blog once more today. We`re a strong and motivated team now, agreed ?
I count on each of You guys ! Wish You lot`s of fun,
relaxation, time with Your family & friends and whatever else You have planned for
this weekend.
