Podcast appearances and mentions of Francesco Grillo

Intervista completa a Francesco Grillo, CEO di Energia Comune! Con Francesco tocchiamo tantissimi temi davvero interessanti: siamo partiti parlando della non-linearità di un percorso di successo e di come i fallimenti, i dubbi, i problemi… vadano visti come il modo in cui si arriva al successo, non come barriere! avete sentito la riflessione di Francesco sulla scuola della strada, l'importanza di connettersi con le persone su base empatica. Invece che partire con il suo pitch, parte con un apprezzamento e, in modo graduale e sempre rispettando la persona che ha di fronte, arriva poi al dunque che interessa a lui. interessante poi la resilienza con cui Francesco ha continuato a vendere anche quando non aveva successo, iterando il suo approccio finché non ha capito la chiave di volta. bellissima la riflessione di Francesco sul perché ha deciso di fare impresa. Non la ricerca di soldi, ma il desiderio di fare qualcosa che gli desse modo di creare benessere non solo per sè stesso ma anche per le persone che lavoravano con lui. cito: “la solidità si crea con i margini, non con i volumi”. qui Francesco ha riassunto l'essenza dell'imprenditoria sana. molto interessante la scelta di Francesco di buttarsi nel mondo dell'energia… sopratutto il perché: era quello meno sexy, quello più vecchio, e quindi quello in cui era paradossalmente più facile portare innovazione significativa! Questo si contrappone in modo netto a molti imprenditori wannabe che cercano sempre le cose che cercano tutti, in cui quindi c'è un mare di competizione e in cui è difficile emergere! con la frase “La mia promessa è quella di non deludere i miei clienti, i miei dipendenti e i miei investitori” Francesco riassume il segreto, se così vogliamo chiamarlo, di energia comune e di tutte le aziende che hanno successo. interessante il lavoro di codifica che Francesco fa dei suoi valori, delle “parole” che vuole siano associate alla sua azienda, un posizionamento chiaro che si riverbera sui membri del team fino a tutti i suoi clienti, con coerenza. Questo facilita di molto il posizionamento e rende quindi più efficiente l'acquisizione e la gestione dei clienti. davvero interessante la riflessione di Francesco sul senso di libertà che gli deriva dal non avere alcun tipo di debito e di onere finanziario con nessuno… e aver invece portato a bordo i suoi fornitori, invitandoli a condividere con lui il rischio in forma di open credit. Spero davvero che questo vi stimoli a cercare approcci diversi per poter realizzare una vostra visione. molto bello il gesto di Francesco nel dare il 10% della sua azienda a ciascuna delle 3 persone che gli hanno dato fiducia e lo hanno aiutato a creare Energia comune da 0. Una cosa rara, sopratutto in aziende di stampo “tradizionale” in cui l'imprenditore tende invece sempre a tenere tutto per sé abbiamo poi parlato dell'importanza dei social e di come Energia Comune lo stia “coltivando” per raccontare i loro valori invece che usarlo per acquisire nuovi clienti dal giorno 0 (il che ne rallenterebbe di molto la crescita) e molto altro!

Nuovo episodio di 'Come Ho Iniziato' con @Francesco Grillo, fondatore di  @energia.comune. Un'azienda che, partendo da zero e senza investimenti esterni, ha raggiunto in 6 anni: * 60 mila clienti * 40 milioni di euro di fatturato (2023) * Oltre un centinaio di dipendenti Tutto questo in un mercato iper-competitivo come quello della fornitura di luce e gas, affrontando il covid e la crisi energetica. “Se il tuo sogno è la tua ossessione, non crearti mai degli alibi”. Grazie a Francesco per il tempo e la trasparenza, e complimenti a tutto il team per i risultati! 0:00 Francesco e Energia Comune 1:25 Il gap sul mercato 5:30 L'inizio da zero 7:30 La scelta dei soci 11:00 Tentativi e fallimenti 13:20 Covid e Crisi Energetica 17:20 Come trovare i talenti 20:20 Come scalare l'azienda 23:30 Perché le imprese falliscono 27:40 Il mercato italiano 30:30 Marketing e social media 34:04 Fare impresa al Sud 38:00 Consigli finali ========================== Storie di professionisti non convenzionali. Io mi chiamo Lorenzo Danese e ho lavorato per 10 anni come ingegnere in grandi aziende come Tesla e Amazon. Contagiato dalla mentalità americana, ho cominciato a fantasticare sull'idea di avviare un mio business, rendendomi conto di non avere la minima idea di come iniziare. E così ho avviato questo progetto, dove chiedo a professionisti fuori degli schemi e imprenditori come ci sono riusciti. Se hai dubbi o commenti fammi sapere, siamo qui per imparare. Mi trovi anche su LinkedIn @ldanese e Instagram @lnzdanese. Buon ascolto, spero ti sia utile! ==========================

Today I spoke with Francesco Grillo (co-authored with Raffaella Nanetti) about his latest book, Democracy and Growth in the 21st Century: The Diverging Cases of China and Italy (Palgrave Macmillan, 2019). Despite the title, it is not strictly a book on China or Italy. It is a visionary contribution to both economics and political theory that reflects on the crisis of the West and the paradoxical success of China. Is democracy still the best political regime for countries to adapt to economic and technological pressures and increase their level of prosperity? While the West seems to have stagnated in an environment of political mistrust, increasing inequality and low growth, the rise of the East has shown that it may not be liberal democracy that is best at accommodating the social mutations that technologies have triggered. The cases of China and Italy form the research focus as two extremes in growth performance. China is the star of globalisation in the East, while Italy is the laggard of globalisation in the West and a laboratory of creeping political meltdown now shared by other major Western economies. But is this forever? Introducing the ‘innovation paradox’ as the main challenge to the West and the notion of ‘knowledge democracy’ as key to sustainable growth, this book presents a new side to the debate on the Fourth Industrial Revolution (or fifth as the authors argue). It is a vital reading for all those questioning what kind of democracy positively impacts innovation as the force whose speed and direction transforms societies and economies. Andrea Bernardi is Senior Lecturer in Employment and Organization Studies at Oxford Brookes University in the UK. He holds a doctorate in Organization Theory from the University of Milan, Bicocca. He has held teaching and research positions in Italy, China and the UK. Among his research interests are the use of history in management studies, the co-operative sector, and Chinese co-operatives. His latest project is looking at health care in rural China. He is the co-convener of the EAEPE’s permanent track on Critical Management Studies. Learn more about your ad choices.
