I stopped focusing on people being different, and I started treating everyone the same way.
From Ivan Glasenberg
You'll sacrifice a lot of things in the early part of your career to be successful, but to be ahead of your competitors, you have to work hard.
You're doing a major merger, you got to hope you didn't get it wrong. That's the view of any CEO.
When the opportunities come, we may not want to buy another nickel asset, but if something comes cheap enough, we're all about return on equity.
I've said I will be CEO as long as my colleagues want me.
When we first invested in Colombia, we were buying a lot of coal from Colombia. We were dealing with them daily. I knew their guys at the port, I knew their guys at the mine, I had a feel of the country.
We're all shareholders. These guys below me, they see the CEO taking it easy, it's their money.
I thought if we could put our hard-working culture as traders into the asset management, it will be a great combination, and we did do that.
You want to be a trader, come be a trader. The door's open. You want to travel six days a week, you want to travel the world, the door's open.
We work. You don't come here to take life easy. And we all got rich from it, so, you know, there's a benefit from it.
