English term or phrase: "mind the store"
Each day, it seems, another well-known business icon departs, forced out or pressured to retire by corporate directors seeking change. But if the celebrity CEO is out of fashion, what exactly is in vogue in the corner office?

More than vision, more than long-term strategizing and certainly more than facility in front of a TV camera, many boards want CEOs who can mind the store. Pragmatism and a focus on day-to-day operations and the bottom line is in. So is being a team player with directors and other senior executives.

curare gli affari dell'azienda
Explanation:
Attend to local or family matters, as in Ask Dad for permission; he's minding the store while Mom's away. This expression transfers looking after an actual business to more general activities. [Colloquial; second half of 1900s]

  -> certo, Giusi. anche questa è una soluzione valida. Le risposte si equivalgono più o meno tutte. Il concetto di base è quello di "mandare avanti la baracca". Sarà il collega Nicola poi a scegliere quella più adatta al suo contesto.
