How do you decide what needs to be done right now and what can be done later?

Everything that needs to be done, can’t be left for a later time… It may, however, end up being done by someone else... Like everyone else, I have a to-do list – that just doesn’t seem to stop growing. Excel, Evernote, OneNote, Moleskine… We all have our way of fooling ourselves to believing that we are in control of our agenda.

Suggestion: On Mondays list your Top 10 goals for the week. Everything below that Top 10, delegate. Someone on your team will be able to help.

It doesn’t work for me, maybe it will for you.

What made you lose more time in the projects you participated in? Why?

This business is made of people. If I’m in a project, my efforts are mostly directed towards people, in keeping them motivated by constantly offering them new challenges. It’s important to know their profile and career expectations, in order to place them in the right spot during the course of the project, keeping the team’s internal balance.

So far, the only exception is Vodafone Ireland, where I spend most of my time at Bookmakers or Kehoes.

Some say that sleeping eight hours a day is a total waste. Do you agree? Please explain.

I agree! It’s a complete waste of time when you have Breaking Bad or Fargo episodes waiting to be seen. It’s impossible to go to sleep with that on your mind.

Otherwise, it would be great to be able to sleep eight straight hours per day… but then there is this thing called kids… Need I say more?

In an emergency, would you rather work all night long or wake up really early in the morning? Why?

My first reaction to this kind of emergencies is trying to find an excuse to avoid them. I’m usually very successful and always have my arguments.

When I get to the point where I can’t fool anybody else, I prefer working at night. I believe that it is part of human nature – rest after a goal is achieved.

From our clients’ point of view, the Business and the Technology clock move at the same speed? Please explain.

I think at this moment, our client’s focus is fundamentally on providing solutions to the business. Regardless, of the technology that supports that solution.

Our ability to deliver on time, on budget is way more important than the technical solution. What sets Celfocus apart is adding technology to the first two variables. That’s how we make a difference.

Do you think that you’re a very busy person? Why?

I might just have reached that conclusion now, realising that it took me two weeks to answer your questions.
