“The difficulty of succeeding only adds to the need to undertake ”
This magnificent quote from Beaumarchais is a timeless truth in the business world, in that it invites leaders to embrace challenges as forces that call for action, to persevere in the face of uncertainty, and to turn every difficulty into an opportunity for growth.
For Michel, it has become a philosophy of support because he firmly believes that, just like a top athlete, a leader must continuously adapt, train and innovate in the face of uncertainty.
And it is as a true sparring partner, that Michel seeks to make managers apply the profound meaning of this quote by encouraging their resilience, helping them in decision-making, establishing their strategic vision, developing their skills and finally maintaining their motivation.
