Business diary: Johan Roets
as told to Jude Webber
Johan Roets is Head of Personal and Business Banking for the Americas at Standard Bank. He is
based in Buenos Aires.
Johan says, "I don't really have a typical day. Sometimes I have a conference call with the executive
committee at 3 a.m. - there is a five-hour time difference with
our head office in Johannesburg. Usually, the Argentine day doesn't start until 10 a.m. or 11 a.m. I
do my best thinking in the morning and my best administration in the afternoon.
"I go to South Africa every couple of months. What I love about travel is the solitude to think and
read. I don't like meetings they can be incredibly unproductive and I try to avoid them. I sit on two
boards and typically have six or eight meetings a week.
"The way I pay attention to things is to write them down. I buy notebooks and take them
everywhere. I write whenever I can during the day, and I go back and highlight important bits.
"I think the great secret in life and business is to focus on maximising your strengths, not improving
your weaknesses. My passions are business, technology and people."
