What can we learn from Nokiaman'a?
Vice President of Nokia and richest Pole in Finland gave an interview to Gazeta Wyborcza.
Interview published in Monday's addition to "Gazeta Wyborcza" - "Large format". You can also read it for Gazeta.pl at this address . The interview provides an overview biography Widomskiego Stefan, but I read it, trying to "catch" the secrets of his success and advice for young Poles.
Stefan Widomski Polish emigrated from in 1966 with 20 dollars in his pocket. Work in Finland started with TV repair workshop, 60 km from Helsinki. After one year he learned to speak and write in Finnish well enough that he passed on the economic and political history at the university and did the exam for certified translator from Polish. In 1968, he was employed at a bookstore in Helsinki.
A next step in his career was working in Medko OY - a manufacturer of medical equipment. He there all the way - from the salesman to the head of the export department. Later volunteered to work at Nokia. In 1972, he began work there in the export department, starting again from the "acquisition".
In Nokia career he did with a very good knowledge of the Russian language - Russia selling huge amounts of radio.
With my Nokia earned billions of dollars. Generate one-third of the company's profit. And so over the years. Murderous work 24 hours a day.
It paid off - after a few years he was vice-president of the company, and its shares now amount to several million.
We now come to the point - how and why the success?
- First, persistence and hard work.
- Secondly, the knowledge of multiple languages (Polish, Finnish, Russian, German)
- Thirdly - kontaktowość. To be a good salesman, you have to know how and like to talk to people.
- Fourth - modesty. Widomski not gadżeciarzem - uses the most ordinary nokia 9300.
In an interview is advice for young Poles:
"Maybe out of my mouth it sounds weird, but listen: Do not leave Polish! And if you have to leave this zaróbcie fast money and come back. Do the exact opposite than me. Because I was in a different situation. Poland was a different country. Today, young people have the same conditions for development in Poland, Finland and Sweden "
Criticism of politicians ...:
Politicians, not only in Poland, there are questions that nobody is asking them. Most of their energy goes into solving the problems that they create. Zapędzają in situations that then try to extricate. And so on. I would so he could not. If my thoughts are not going in the direction of a positive solution of the problem, it's a waste of time. Perhaps this attitude that is the cause of success.
... And advice to parents:
Children must first learn to think for themselves. You do not have to worry about whether we leave them enough money.
Not money, but the best education - that children must provide. I help them to become citizens of the world.
I encourage you to read the entire article .
