“IN ORDER TO SUCCESSFULLY WORK WITH CLIENTS, YOU NEED TO FEEL THEM” — ALEXEY CONSIDERS

Is there, in your opinion, a principle that will ensure success in work?

The main thing is to carefully study the market before any undertaking. Market research will help you go find new solutions and stay one step ahead. And always be ready to expand. It is not necessary to limit the work of the company by geographical boundaries. In the age of the Internet, this is quite possible.

What is the hardest thing about being a leader?

Assemble a team of professionals. To have an expert assessment within the company, experienced employees are needed. And it is not easy to unite people with different experience, character, temperament and approaches to work into a single team that can solve problems together. We must find the key to each of them.

What leadership skills can be learned?

Communication skills. Business, but at the same time “human” communication is a necessary component in any business. To successfully work with clients and partners and conduct a constructive dialogue with them, you need to feel them. And you can understand their feelings only through dialogue.
