Kolon Group "This Year's Management Message is 'Empathy'... Practicing Autonomous and Responsible Management"

[Asia Economy Reporter Hwang Yoon-joo] Kolon Group emphasized 'empathy' as its management message for this year.

On the 2nd, Kolon Group held an integrated opening ceremony at the Magok Kolon One&Only Tower, attended by presidents and executives at the team leader level or higher, announcing this message.

This is the second year for the opening ceremony hosted by the One&Only Committee, a consultative body composed of key presidents of the group since Chairman Lee Woong-yeol's retirement at the end of 2018.

The One&Only Committee declared 'SURFING 2020' under the theme of 'Kolon Empathy Management.' The idea is to boldly challenge and turn big waves into growth opportunities, just like a skilled surfer overcoming waves with agile and flexible techniques, in response to rapidly changing environments and uncertain futures, creating Kolon's own 'Next Big Thing.'

In particular, this year's management message contains the meaning that each company should practice autonomous and responsible management, and all employees should participate with the spirit of unity (一切同心) to achieve success.

The One&Only Committee also presented specific directions for practice at both individual and organizational levels.

First, it emphasized that each member should have the highest competitiveness as a professional and fulfill their responsibilities and duties. It also stated that organizations must evolve to support the success of their members by changing ranks and titles to a horizontal structure and flexibly applying performance measurement systems for each company.

The One&Only Committee stressed, "Without items leading the future market, survival is impossible," and "We must create Kolon's own Next Big Thing."

Meanwhile, Kolon Group produced and distributed badges symbolizing Kolon employees riding a surfboard overcoming big waves this year. It has been eight years since group employees started wearing management message badges in 2013.
