The most powerful executive in Romanian trade, Dușan Wilms, is at his second term running Metro Cash & Carry Romania. Now, the focus is on boosting the efficiency along all the lines of the business, after the network was in a period of rapid expansion during his previous term, reads BUSINESS Magazin.
A key element of this term is employee motivation, said Dușan Wilms, a CEO with Metro Cash & Carry Romania, during the Meet the CEO event organised by BUSINESS Magazin.
He explained this was vital as being used to success, with a soaring turnover year after year, the period of declining sales came as a cold shower.
At this time, “there must be a captain in front who should take up all the water and wind and make sure the team is stable,” Wilms says.
He prefers not to define the current period as a crisis one, considering we have just returned to normality after the consumption excess artificially spurred by the lending boom.
