hi, i am Alfonso
i am enjoying life in Peru, a beautiful country you should come see if you can, particularly Macchu Picchu
my family and i are building a new business of our own.... and we are very enthused by its possibilities
i must admit that i do not miss my last Stiefel/GSK job, not because of GSK or anyone in particular, but because of the situation that we were in and that, i hope, the new management team is no longer in.... i do miss my team a lot though! and i wish everyone at Stiefel and GSK only the very best
if i proved not good enough of a leader to you during our time together, i am really really sorry... i promise i did try the best that i could, but i understand and respect your right to have been dissatisfied with my performance... if you have been to any top in your life, you know that it gets lonely up there, it just comes with the territory and that is just fine
if i helped you in any way, i am grateful that you gave me the chance and opened your heart and your mind to me even if just a little bit... if you got to know me closely, you know that i always tried my best to do the same for you
all in all, i must say that i am very very grateful with my Stiefel experience... it allowed me to learn tons about the US culture and business environment, it allowed me to learn a lot from and about those of you that i shared experiences and time with and, above all, it allowed me to learn a lot about myself as a person, as a manager and as a leader
to this last point, i did learn that the best strategy possible is not only focus on doing what you have been (semi?
) good at, but actually doing what your heart is asking you to do... in my case, to build my own business in my own country... nothing against any other country, only gratitude, but it is indeed very special to be back home, trying to contribute to the growth of the peruvian people and the development of their potential
anyways, i was just browsing through, remembering the old days and chose for this one to be my first and last post on CP... wish you all the very best
Saludos!
Alfonso
