Foreword to the book by "Florian Mantione"

Florian Mantione is not only a business leader but also a creator of social links, a facilitator, and a humanist.
ReKrute.com, always on the lookout for new trends, has taken a strong interest in the life of this idea agitator who subtly reveals certain realities of corporate life through a selection of articles that we will introduce to you over the coming weeks.
But first, I will let the writer introduce himself:


Since 1976, I have held two fabulous jobs: that of consultant and that of business leader.

The job of Human Resources consultant is the best job in the world.

It involves discovering situations that are always very different, listening, analyzing, understanding, proposing, advising, recommending, convincing, supporting...
It involves discovering personalities that are always very different, understanding them, appreciating them, evaluating them, gauging them, judging them...
Each company and each candidate enriches me, makes me grow, trains me, informs me, improves me...

The job of business leader is also the best job in the world.

It involves bringing a team together on a project and achieving it together.
But since nothing is simple, this achievement is subject to obstacles, difficulties, and unforeseen events, which make it even more beautiful.
It is the noblest of adventures in the face of a world of protection and assistance.

Yes, you really need an adventurous spirit to try to succeed, to last, to evolve, to persist, to stay the course. Yes, the business leader is the new adventurer of our century.

"When the student is ready, the teacher appears," says the aphorism.

Today, I wish to offer you a number of articles that I have written, either in the heat of the moment or after careful consideration.
They do not constitute a synthesis of my conception of management, but they have marked my evolution and each contribute in their own way to the impressionistic picture of the business.
They are, in a way, intellectual vitamins for common-sense management...
