In this first episode of The Kipling Balance, Pablo Isla, Chairman IE International Advisory Board and former CEO Inditex, interviews José María Álvarez-Pallete, President of Telefonica.
José María choose this verse of the poem ""If"" by Rudyard Kipling for the Q&A:
“If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
and so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: ‘Hold on!’
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
or walk with Kings—nor lose the common touch”
This verse is a call for resilience and the strength of will. It encourages the reader to persist in the face of adversity, even when it feels like there's nothing left to give, relying on the power of one's determination to keep moving forward. It's a reminder that the human spirit can achieve remarkable things through sheer willpower and perseverance.
Join us to see their view and experience and how this helped them become great leaders!
