\"Stephen-Smithyman-600x350-300x175@2x\"<\/a><\/p>\n


\n1. Quel a \u00e9t\u00e9 votre premier emploi?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Je suis expert-comptable de profession et mon premier emploi a \u00e9t\u00e9 avec Deloitte o\u00f9 j’ai compl\u00e9t\u00e9 mes articles. Je suis ensuite pass\u00e9 \u00e0 Standard Bank o\u00f9 j’ai financ\u00e9 des transactions li\u00e9es \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9mancipation \u00e9conomique des minorit\u00e9s. Plus tard, j’ai ralli\u00e9 Solethu Investments j’ai travaill\u00e9 dans \u00a0le secteur dela location de locomotives en Afrique. C’est seulement \u00e0 ce moment-l\u00e0 que j’ai d\u00e9couvert les opportunit\u00e9s immenses qu\u2019offraient le continent.<\/p>\n


\n2. Quels aspects de votre travail vous maintiennent \u00e9veill\u00e9 la nuit?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Nous employons maintenant plus de 557 personnes dans 14 pays et, en tant que directeurs, nous sommes responsables de ces personnes ainsi que\u00a0des familles qu’elles soutiennent financi\u00e8rement. Avant chaque d\u00e9cision, je pense \u00e0 ces personnes qui travaillent dans des circonstances tr\u00e8s difficiles; c’est une \u00e9norme responsabilit\u00e9 que nous assumons\u00a0tous les jours.<\/p>\n


\n3. Qui a eu le plus grand impact sur votre carri\u00e8re?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Deux personnes importantes. La premi\u00e8re est ma femme – sans son soutien, son encouragement constant et ses paroles de sagesse, je n’aurais pas eu le courage et la perspicacit\u00e9 n\u00e9cessaires pour traverser les p\u00e9riodes difficiles. Son soutien m’a donn\u00e9 la plateforme de lancement pour construire Kanu Equipment. La deuxi\u00e8me personne est mon d\u00e9funt p\u00e8re qui \u00e9tait mon mentor depuis ma jeunesse. La fa\u00e7on dont il a v\u00e9cu sa vie, avec beaucoup de travail et d’int\u00e9grit\u00e9, m\u2019a enseign\u00e9 ma fa\u00e7on de faire affaires.<\/p>\n


\n4. Quel est le meilleur conseil professionnel que vous ayez re\u00e7u?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Le client est toujours roi.<\/p>\n


\n5. Les principales raisons pour lesquelles vous avez r\u00e9ussi dans les affaires?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Je me pr\u00e9occupe constamment\u00a0des objectifs finaux de nos clients. Je fais toujours le n\u00e9cessaire pour les soutenir, c’est pourquoi la philosophie de d’entreprise est \u00abExperience The support (Faites l\u2019Exp\u00e9rience du Support)\u00bb.<\/p>\n

Je dois \u00e9galement r\u00e9it\u00e9rer que ma femme y est pour beaucoup, car elle m’a activement aid\u00e9 \u00e0 me concentrer sur ma carri\u00e8re en m’accordant le temps et de l’espace n\u00e9cessaires pour prosp\u00e9rer.<\/p>\n


\n6. Quel est le meilleur endroit pour d\u00e9velopper des comp\u00e9tences de leadership? \u00c0 l\u2019\u00e9cole de commerce ou sur le tas?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Certainement sur le tas \u00a0– la th\u00e9orie n’est pas toujours la r\u00e9alit\u00e9.<\/p>\n


\n7. Comment vous d\u00e9tendez-vous?<\/strong><\/p>\n

En passant du\u00a0temps avec ma famille. J\u2019aime \u00e9galement jouer au golf \u00a0– quand j’ai le temps.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

8. \u00c0 quelle heure aimez-vous \u00eatre \u00e0 votre bureau?<\/strong><\/p>\n

4 heures du matin. L’oiseau matinal est celui qui attrape le vers.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

9. Votre question pr\u00e9f\u00e9r\u00e9e lors d\u2019entretiens de recrutement?<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Pr\u00e9f\u00e9riez-vous un temps illimit\u00e9 ou de l\u2019argent illimit\u00e9?” Ou “Citez\u00a010 choses que vous pourriez faire d\u2019une piscine vide”.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

10. Quel est votre message pour les chefs d’entreprises et les futurs entrepreneurs d’Afrique?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Vous allez faire face \u00e0 de nombreux d\u00e9fis. Relever ces d\u00e9fis progressivement, pers\u00e9v\u00e9rez et croyez en vous-m\u00eame. Si vous essayez de voir tous les obstacles devant vous, vous ne d\u00e9marrerez jamais – alors allez-y, commencez. Ensuite, \u00e0 chaque obstacle, trouvez une solution et continuez \u00e0 avancer. Travaillez constamment \u00e0 l’am\u00e9lioration continue.<\/p>\n
