Chairman Koo Ja-eun Looked for New Employees Right After Returning from CES

18th LS Miraewon New Employee Induction Ceremony
Encouragement to "Become an LS Futurist" While Pinning Badges
Gifts Including 'President Studies' for 17 New Executives

Gu Ja-eun, Chairman of LS Group, encouraged the new employees who joined through this year’s open recruitment to "become Futurists who will lead LS."

On the 19th, LS Group announced that Chairman Gu attended the entrance ceremony for this year’s new recruits held the previous day at LS Miraewon in Anseong, Gyeonggi Province, to encourage them. After visiting Las Vegas, USA, where the world’s largest electronics and IT exhibition 'CES 2024' was held, he prioritized attending the new employee entrance ceremony.

Chairman Gu urged the approximately 200 new employees who completed all training courses to become LS Futurists. Futurist is LS’s ideal talent profile. He emphasized that innovative leaders are essential to achieving 'Vision 2030.'

Vision 2030 is LS’s vision to grow into a 50 trillion KRW asset group by 2030 through future businesses such as batteries, electric vehicles, and semiconductors.

At the entrance ceremony, Chairman Gu personally pinned the company badges on the new employees. In his welcoming speech, he said, "You must have the passion and drive as newcomers and become leaders who will lead our LS." Quoting Ted Turner, founder of CNN, he said, "You must either become a leader yourself and lead properly, or properly follow the direction led by a leader."

The new employees toured major business sites such as LS Cable & System Donghae, LS MnM Onsan, and LS Mtron Jeonju for about three weeks. They received training on 'Learning problem-solving processes and applying them in the field' and 'Executing electric vehicle production projects through open communication and creative collaboration.'

Meanwhile, earlier this month, Chairman Gu gifted 17 newly promoted executives with books near LS Yongsan Tower in Yongsan-gu, Seoul, including 'Introduction to the Study of Presidents' by Kim Seung-ho, Chairman of Snow Fox Group, and 'The Power of Geography 1 and 2' by diplomacy expert Tim Marshall.

He said, "If new employees are at the stage of sketching the blueprint of their social life, executives are the ones who must color the picture they have drawn," and added, "Become leaders who produce results with the mindset that you are the CEO of your own organization."
