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 3 passions are business, technology and people."

-: He goes to South Africa every couple of weeks.

-: Every day is the same (typical) for Johan.

+: He is based in Argentina (Buenos Aires).

+: He works in a bank.
