We talk with Dr. A. Reza Arabnia, president and CEO of Gecofin


Dr. Arabnia, do you believe that Enterprise Spirit can be a positive force that develops within the company itself?

“Spirit” is the result of multiple factors, starting with a specific purpose for which an enterprise is started. This is enriched by the values on which the management of the enterprise is based. The climate generated by the application of these values gives strength to the creation of a group of people who live as if they were in a community. What motivates this community is the force behind the Spirit of an Enterprise. The positivity or negativity of this force depends on the purpose and values and does not necessarily guarantee economic results per se. This is the reason why the path is not always linear, but must remain consistent in purpose, like a sailboat whose captain knows where he has to go, but also understands the importance of managing the wind.”
