Coen Smits

It’s fantastic to watch when a team starts fizzing with energy and enthusiasm again

"It’s my responsibility to make the best possible use of my team members in the project, so that we can bring it to a successful conclusion together. It’s very satisfying when you’re able to get everybody on the same page when there’s a major challenge or problem to deal with. And when we can get everything done to the satisfaction of the client."

"It’s fantastic to watch when a team starts fizzing with energy and enthusiasm again. When colleagues start really enjoying their work again. Of course, sometimes that’s a challenge. But I know how to get the best out of each individual and their intrinsic motivations, and to harness those to achieve the business objectives. I try to make sure that there is a strong feeling of “us”. That’s how to turn a group of individuals with completely different characters into an effective team that manages to produce outstanding results time after time."
"I like to bring people with me in a change process that is based on persuasion"
"I’m a quick decision maker determined and straight to the point"
"I like to identify problems and I’m very results-oriented."
"I spend time on finding out what motivates people at the personal level"
