VTB President Andrei Kostin During the speech before students of the Higher School of Management, SPBSU called three rules that a successful businessman should always be guided by RBC.
The first rule banker described the expression “the man said, Men did.” According to him, in business, it should be remembered what promised, even in words, and not to give up them. “If you are not sure, do not say the word” yes “,” the Kostin stressed.
The second rule for the head of VTB is the desire to always bring started to the end, and the third is the ability to look at the problem with the eyes of the interlocutor. It helps to understand how justified the position of the other party.
Kostin noticed that if a client or partner is right, then he should go to the meeting, and if his desire is not justified, it is necessary to take a tough position. At the same time, he added that he knew such managers, whose career was under the surplus precisely because of the inability to agree with the position of the interlocutor and assume that his opinion is the only right.
Earlier, the banker noted that it does not believe in tough sanctions against the Russian banking sector and VTB Bank (the Bank is under the Summer and the United States since the summer of 2014), in particular. In his opinion, the pressure will remain approximately at the same level as now.
