To learn from leading top-managers of Ukraine? Everything is possible for students speciality “Management”. And today’s day witnessed that our students are so curious.
On-line meeting with General Director of OLX Group in Europe and Eastern Asia Sergey Gapochenko caused thousand of questions and lots of impressions. How could it be otherwise, when they had top-manager of most successful company of Ukraine (due to statistics OLX platform is most attended on-line service after Google, Youtube and Facebook), and also a manager of international group Naspers in several countries (Bosnia and Herzegovina, Romania, Portuguese, Moldova, Uzbekistan Kazakhstan etc.).
Topics discussed:
- Modern management and values in team work (“live it”, “be empowered”, “we don’t ask for permission, we ask for forgiveness”- these and other slogans of OLX team work were spread among students as “hot cakes”);
- Important aspects of company management and team management at constant development time and changes);
- “healthy conflict” and open minding in team work;
- intercultural communication, work with multinational teams (tolerance, stereotype avoidance, opening, acceptence of differences and importance of “more listening than talking” while deepening into new unknown business-environment and culture).
And surely, students were deeply interested for tips and advises in regard of job
hunting and job-placement interviews, skills to which mostly pay attention at employment in such companies as OLX, the ways company takes cares and motivates its staff.
Meeting with Sergey was arranged in the frame of study course “Conflict management and change management”on the invitation of the lecturer of Management Department Tetyana Mayboroda.
