Carlos Morán: "People don't change their business, but their boss".

By: Álvaro Luengo and Ane Treku

Carlos Morán Moya is part of a group that is difficult to find nowadays. When we look around us, among people with a certain professional trajectory, how many do we know who have not changed business even once? We would probably all answer in the same way: very few. Carlos has worked thirty-one years in CEPSA, a whole life dedicated to a single business. And last Thursday at the MDPO we had the opportunity to hear him tell us how and why.

The professional affirmed that the core topic to be able to grow in the same business is to have good superiors, good bosses. "People don't change business, they change bosses," he said. In his case, he told us how he never had to ask for anything because at CEPSA there was always someone who cared about him. In this way, by taking care to give each person what he or she deserves and offering each one what he or she needs, loyalty is built little by little, which is essential for retaining talent. In other words, the goal of a human resources management strategy is to establish policies and procedures that allow business to have, at all times, people with the talent, skills and commitment required to meet the needs that are necessary for the success of the activity (people who know, can and want).

On the other hand, he stressed the importance of guaranteeing a culture and environment at work where equal opportunities and non-discrimination are a reality, facilitating and promoting the integration of diverse groups under the principles of respect, partnership and work as a team. But how? First of all, we must be clear about the following, and that is that diversity without inclusion does not generate anything, but rather creates problems. At the end of the day, it is not the sum of individualities that must be sought, but the team. To achieve this, we must integrate people, welcome them and, above all, have a good spirit.

From this talk we learned once again that people are the most important thing within the organization. But it is not only the whole, but each person, a boss, or your teammates, make and add up to make a business work and be a place where it is desirable to work.
