Some days may feel like a breeze and others not so much, but the key to being good at anything is to keep pushing forward, says Juan Pablo Rodriguez, the chief executive officer of Hindustan Coca-Cola Beverages, the Indian arm of the multinational beverage company. He calls himself a “regular guy trying to do his best every day”, be it in the capacity of a father, husband, son, brother, friend or a leader at work, and believes in enjoying the present without undue stress about the future.
Work is a big part of who he is, but what gets him going is tackling new challenges and solving problems. “It is all about the thrill of creating, collaborating and leading. Making an impact each day, that is what keeps my passion alive,” Rodriguez remarks. That said, he makes sure he never misses out on family time. “It is everything to us,” he emphasises.
