Management
Italian term or phrase: bravo e pronto
Slide show for staff training. Theme is "Overconfidence" (or lack thereof, since you can be overconfident of the fact that you have nothing to offer etc.).

- Non tollero di aspettare persone che mi devono dare risposte, se io sono veloce lo possono essere anche loro

- Sono bravo, preciso e puntuale ma se ci sono cambiamenti io mi sento messo alla prova, devo essere bravo e pronto. Se lo stress sale mi attacco al già fatto.

- Tendo a coinvolgere sempre gli altri, difficilmente decido da solo

TIA for any useful suggestions.
