Also, Medvedev, who held the posts of Russian president in 2008-2012 and prime minister in 2012-2020, shared life hacks for top managers and statesmen, focusing on the importance of high moral values and lifelong learning, the press release reads. According to him, management technologies require innovation, original approaches, creative thinking, and utmost responsibility. “Top managers should always weigh their actions against decisions that they make. The `red lines’ are inside our head, but that does not mean that decision making has no limits,” Medvedev emphasized.
Medvedev is a close ally of Putin, he held the post of Russian President between 2008 and 2012, then he also served as Prime Minister.
