The Leaders Live by ImpacTalk.gr
2 leaders, Spyros Theodoropoulos, CEO of Bespoke AE and Apostolos Apostolakis, Founding Partner of VentureFriends talked about the meaning and values of Entrepreneurship and Leadership in the modern era.
The two entrepreneurs, moderated by journalist and writer Makis Provatas, exchanged opinions and stories from their experience in the tough arena of business and answered to questions of the audience, consisted mostly by students, with axis:
● the principles of entrepreneurship,
● the human factor and its decisive role
● the vision that every young person who wants to work in the field of business and start-ups must have.
With human speech and the self-awareness that their success as entrepreneurs gives them, Spyros Theodoropoulos and Apostolos Apostolakis inspired the audience that watched them live and via live streaming by answering the question "Are you born or become an entrepreneur?", emphasising especially:
● The role of luck (but also misfortune) and the wider social and family environment in shaping the entrepreneurial spirit.
● The importance of soft skills in relation to hard skills
● The importance of selecting executives who are leaders themselves
● The necessity of a leader's adaptability in a constantly changing environment
● Reskilling and upskilling as well as the rotation of executives depending on the upheavals that take place in the business environment
"Adaptability is a key element of success and survival of people and companies", Spyros Theodoropoulos
"Growth Mindset is the belief that even if I fall I will get up and then I will have evolved. Failure is necessary for success", Apostolos Apostolakis
"The job of an entrepreneur is lonely. We make the decision ourselves. Without instinct there is no entrepreneurship", Spyros Theodoropoulos
"We must do our self-criticism and be strict with ourselves and those around us if we want to learn from our mistakes", Apostolos Apostolakis.
Spyros Theodoropoulos and Apostolos Apostolakis concluded by addressing the new generation:
"Just dream and don't let anyone get in the way of your dreams. Listen to your heart!", Spyros Theodoropoulos
"Set goals and commit yourself to achieving them!", Apostolos Apostolakis
