What should we learn from Macky Sall's departure as a Business manager/Entrepreneur ?
Faced with the pressure of the people, the discordances in his party and the lack of international support, former president Macky Sall, "the Builder" was unable to keep his party in power despite excellent achievements especially in terms of infrastructure.
Nevertheless, I see some lessons that business leaders must remember:
1 – “Be Customer Centric”!
A president who has not listened to his people is the image of a leader who does not listen to his customers. He will make a lot of effort but will not be able to make his business prosper because the need to be filled is different from the offer.
2 – Strengthen team spirit and teamwork!
The party has not been able to unite around an objective requiring the sacrifice of each of the tenors, like a leader who cannot bring together his management committee and his services around the vision and missions. of the company.
3 – Respect and follow the Procedures!
By postponing the elections, the constitutional council objected and had to twist the president's arm. This is reminiscent of the leader who seeks subterfuge to circumvent laws, policies or procedures. This behavior will regularly lead to blockages which result in unplanned decisions being made at the last minute. Such was the case for Carlos Ghosn at Nissan.
4 – Prepare the next generation!
Until a few months before the elections, the former president's party did not have its candidate in the image of the leader who does not prepare his succession, the one who insists on remaining in his comfortable position, and will thus block development of the company towards new horizons. The former president had to look for a candidate who was not unanimous in his party.
Leading also means thinking, planning, learning but above all growing and making you grow.
