QUOTES
Luca on why managers need to have real, on the ground
experience: "People sometimes underestimate that if you
want to lead a team, you have to be credible. You have to know
what you are talking about in detail. Because otherwise, there's
no way you can inspire the people and coach them on a daily basis
on what their job is about and how to do it better."
Luca on what it takes to be a CRO of a public
company: "Having the entire company able to actually
make the customer happy and deliver value to the customer is the
first thing. Because you can do all this new business that you
want but if from the bucket you're going to continue to lose
revenue, there's no way you can run a public company."
Luca on the difference between commitment and
compliance: "People tend to be compliant when you tell
them what to do, and you do not explain why and what difference
it can make for them. People are committed when they buy into
something and it becomes their own stuff."
