Hi,
I want to know if it sounds natural. Your help is appreciated! Thank you in advance!
boss out of the office
Remote work is a trendy thing in today's business environment. If employees can work from home, then why shouldn't owners run their companies remotely as well? For example, resting on a beach or at a golf course. The main thing is to establish remote control.
"My domicile is an airplane of Aeroflot, place 1D," jokes the owner of the group of companies Sava Vladimir Sablin. Indeed, it is almost impossible to find him in the office, and when he answers a phone call the caller usually does not have an idea where the entrepreneur is located at that time. Sava conducts its activities in Eastern Siberia, Moscow, Kiev, China and Mexico. Over the past year and a half, Sablin has been to more than 20 countries of the far abroad, not to mention Russia and the CIS. However, the absence of the owner does not worsen the situation of the business. On the contrary, over the past year, the company's turnover grew by a third approaching 2 billion rubles.
In early May, Vladimir Sablin returned to Russia after almost two months of absence. Last year he was gone for about six months. All that time he was on round-the-world economic expeditions conducted by an international business school Executive MBA LWB. "We negotiate with embassies, universities - they arrange for us visits to their companies," says Vladimir Moryzhenkov. "In addition, we are fond of golf, and through local golf trainers you can get direct access to interesting entrepreneurs."
The number of countries visited by the business travelers is already more than ten. They studied English at Oxford, visited McDonald's Hamburger University in China, watched how asparagus is grown in the deserts of Peru. In New Zealand, Sablin learned that it is getting colder there, that houses need to be insulated. So, it is quite possible to enter the local market with modular houses from Bratsk. In Brazil, the niche of mini tractors is not yet occupied - why not enter that market? "It's impossible to find out about such things while surfing the Internet," says Sablin. And now he is wondering how to use the new opportunities.
