Ksenia Lapina – this is the absolute standard of a successful, accomplished, talented and energetic modern woman. Successful businesswoman - the director of the holding of companies, including the TOP Cosmetics dealer network - a wonderful mother of three children and just a beautiful woman, confirms by her own example that in the modern world the weaker sex is capable of almost everything.
Especially for the readers of estet-portal.com, Ksenia answered a few questions and shared the secret of success.
About what qualities distinguish a good leader, and what you need to get rid of– read Ksenia Lapina's interview for estet-portal.com.
ED. Xenia, not so long ago «TOP Cosmetics» entered the holding of companies, which you headed. You came to such success gradually.
What, in your opinion, is the key factor for the successful development of the company
K.L. In 2013 I graduated from the Kyiv-Mohyla Business School and received an MBA – education. Perhaps other businessmen and businesswomen come to success in a different way, but for me personally this education was very important.
I can say in one sentence what exactly this education gave me: after studying I lost my fear
I stopped being afraid of big projects, stopped being afraid to dream and plan for several years ahead, & nbsp; think broadly. I am very well aware that of all the ideas that make it possible to think broadly, only 20-30% are implemented, but this is already a lot for business. And the more such dreams, the greater the horizon, and the more realized ideas in absolute numbers.
ED. KWhat traits should a good leader of a large company like yours have?
KL I believe that a leader, first of all, should be an inspirer. I am convinced that a good leader is one who does everything possible to do nothing. Conditionally, of course. He surrounds himself with those people who will correctly implement the company's strategy, and generate ideas as well.
A good leader must create conditions in which others will work with pleasure and comfort, bringing crazy ideas to life.
ED. Ksenia, if you had the opportunity to talk to yourself in your student years, what would you advise yourself, and the same beginners, young and ambitious professionals?
K.L. If I was talking to a student who had just graduated from high school and entered the university, & nbsp; I would tell her not to be afraid. I am often asked the question, did I dream of becoming such a child, did I think about business? No, I could not even think that little Ksyusha would lead such a beautiful company.
ED. And what did little Ksenia Lapina want to become?
K.L. Little Ksenia Lapina wanted to become a doctor, and I hope at least one of my three daughters will become a doctor, and I will be able to realize your dream through one of the children. I have a good, prosperous and intelligent family, my mother is a teacher, and my father is an engineer. But four children were brought up in our family, & nbsp; and the parents did not have the opportunity to give expensive medical education. Is it good or bad? Most likely, I would not have become a good doctor - this profession is very individual. And in business, I do better because I can delegate authority correctly.
ED We know that your older daughter is more interested in business? Does she plan to follow in your footsteps?
K.L. She, like me, thought about becoming a doctor, but she is very similar to me, and when she realized that for this you have to study for 9 whole years, she said: "Let's do something quickly." She entered a business university in Europe, but I really hope that she will return to Ukraine and become a quality manager within our holding. But she herself is categorically against it. My daughter says that she went to university in order to do business on her own, and not to be a manager - these are still different things.
