"We are leaving in era of change and transformation. We cannot do our business with the same manner that we did 10 years ago. Diplomatic and economic disturbances are ahead of us. But we have to weather the storm. Technology, digitalization, innovation are the key factors to endure in troubled times. However, the human touch is still important. Leadership is all about combining technology and human touch to make possible the impossible. All other things are managing."
