In this diagram, we share our vision of the components to work on to succeed at international level.
Becoming an expert means knowing how to apply methods.
It’s this contextual intelligence that makes all the difference between someone who’s just getting a job done and a growing professional.
“Have no fear of perfection – you’ll never reach it.”

What is the difference between a technician and a leader ?
The technician simply knows his job and achieve tasks.
The true leader takes into account all changes in the environment and participates in improving the system and reinventing it.
So surround yourself with performers but also with collaborators with these qualities:
- Aim for continuous learning & improvement and quality,
- Mastery of digital, social networks and growth hacking techniques,
- Active listening,
- Business intelligence,
- Capacity for innovation and differentiation,
- Shares the deep values of the company,
- Is reactive and autonomous in decision-making,
- Has an active international network of contacts,
- Creative entrepreneur soul,
- Capacity for 360° analysis of the company in its context and environment,
- Environmental awareness,
- Management and planning of multicultural projects.
The mental model of the best leaders
To be more efficient you must master the technological and human tools available to today’s leaders.
You must set goals and associate clear daily, weekly and annual priorities on the pareto model of 20/80. From this habit, you will be able to cultivate and capitalize on the opportunities that come your way.
What is holding you back from achieving your goals? Leaders understand what causes what to solve their problems. What is the root cause? From there, they cause the goals they want to see themselves accomplish. They know problem solving techniques. They monopolize the issues, find and implement rapid and effective resolution frameworks.
How ? By applying a scientific model to their actions.
- What is the state of the art in this area?
- How do I implement it immediately to test it?
- How do I document my experiences to improve myself?
- How can I ensure repeatability of my successes by applying a winning model?
- What type of control should I put in place?
The feedback loop
One of the secrets of the best performers is that they permanently position themselves inside a positive feedback loop. They are continually carrying out small actions that accumulate over time and which ultimately represent a colossal amount of work that would be impossible to achieve in one go.
They establish positive habits by being able to change their behavior gradually, step by step. Thus, they improve over time, confronting doubts, errors, which enrich their experience. They become after each failure or victory much stronger. They learn to learn.
This attitude allows them to correct their cognitive biases, their limiting beliefs and strengthens their self-confidence. They manage to understand and correct these biases to improve the quality of their decisions.
Network
Finally, to progress and become better, you must work on your network. You must seek to understand the underlying patterns behind each network, how it works, its values, beliefs, perspectives, dreams, weaknesses.
Beyond simply being an inactive consumer of resources, participate in its evolution and by getting involved, you will obtain results.
“The man with insight enough to admit his limitations comes nearest to perfection.“
