Business Review talked to Bogdan Cioc, consultant manager at SAP, to find out how the sports influence his professional activity.

Competitions: Transfier triathlon, Triathlon Challenge Mamaia, Bucharest International Marathon, Wintertri marathon on sprint distances, half-marathon Baneasa Trail Run, Bucharest International Half-Marathon

Relationship between sport and professional career: I wanted to give the team the discipline of regular exercise and the trust that you can achieve goals that seem impossible at first glance. The concrete realization that impossible goals are not so untenable is surprising and gives everyone confidence. I wanted to bring this positive mental attitude and this kind of trust to my team. And, of course, I try to incorporate this creative mentality in the way I do my job myself.

Business lessons learned from sport: The scientific planning of activities. Weekends are the time you spend with family, but also when amateur competitions take place. Free time is so scarce and precious, so it must be managed carefully.
