LEADERSHIP LESSON FROM FOOTBALL COACH 

Good day to you Phillip. What has brought you here, to work and live in Vietnam, despite your affinity to xem bóng đá trực tuyến environment and culture of xem bóng đá trực tuyến Philippines as well as xem bóng đá trực tuyến US?
After graduating in International Relations and Economics, I worked for a short period as a shoe salesclerk in a fashion store in xem bóng đá trực tuyến US, before taking a management training program in Guam. Following its completion, my father called me and said: “Phillip, you've done so well so far. It's time to come back to Vietnam!” It sounded simply as an invitation to join his company, but I was quite frightened at first, not knowing what I should do. But then, after a while, I realized: “Vietnam is where I belong”. And despite xem bóng đá trực tuyến massive pressure ahead, I believe I can make a name for myself here in my homeland.

How then do you manage to bolster such confidence?
Most people would think that working for xem bóng đá trực tuyến family business is a huge advantage. And yet, xem bóng đá trực tuyến only perks I receive here is my parents' support and advice in times of hardship. xem bóng đá trực tuyến point here is that my father has realized xem bóng đá trực tuyến competitive advantages in xem bóng đá trực tuyến Vietnamese market, and he needs somebody that he can trust to take direct charge of xem bóng đá trực tuyến entire body of staff and bring about more development. Heeding such a vision, I always try to excel in my range of responsibilities. A good leader is always prepared to face and handle every problem, from finance and marketing to event promotion, creative work or HR management. But in order for xem bóng đá trực tuyến business to run smoothly, one must also be able to clarify xem bóng đá trực tuyến tasks of each department and integrate them into a whole single body. Being xem bóng đá trực tuyến owner, and more importantly a leader, is just like being xem bóng đá trực tuyến coach of a football team, I believe. You show your “players” xem bóng đá trực tuyến organization's overall vision, letting them know that they are an essential part of a strong body. xem bóng đá trực tuyến whole team who swallow xem bóng đá trực tuyến bitterness of failure with me, shall join me in xem bóng đá trực tuyến celebration of xem bóng đá trực tuyến sweet taste of success.  

With xem bóng đá trực tuyến multidisciplinary scope of work of your corporation, what is your secret to keeping everything under control?
For every type of work, there is a separate procedure that I've established, with responsibilities and detailed tasks for each respective level. This management method helps me maintain control of xem bóng đá trực tuyến work's details without getting too deeply involved and controlling in xem bóng đá trực tuyến staff's job. But perhaps xem bóng đá trực tuyến biggest challenge is to harmonize with a wide range of different personalities of xem bóng đá trực tuyến staff, thus requiring great flexibility in xem bóng đá trực tuyến administration so as to help them maximize their potential and improve their working attitude. Moreover, establishing a management philosophy is also quite important to me, as I always try to back my employees, giving them xem bóng đá trực tuyến freedom to grow in their own way, and observing their development process since Day One.
xem bóng đá trực tuyến success of every business, either big or small, lies in whether a manager could attenuate to every problem from his or her employees every day. In order to do that, we've established several communication channels through xem bóng đá trực tuyến application of new technologies, for instance WhatsApp, Viber, Skype or Facebook. In a near future, we aim to develop a local area network (LAN) so that those in xem bóng đá trực tuyến company could connect with each other more easily. I wish for all of them to be as close and understanding to each other as friends. However, xem bóng đá trực tuyến best means of communication is still direct conversation and observation of xem bóng đá trực tuyến daily work to keep a close track of everyone's status quo. That is a managerial practice that I've been trying to attain.   

SAVOURING DEFEAT IN YOUR OWN WAY

While success is rarely rewarded with deserving recognition, failure often proclaims and echoes itself eagerly and excessively. What would you do in xem bóng đá trực tuyến face of failure, and how do you get past such a feeling?
Failure is xem bóng đá trực tuyến part and parcel of life. It brings you pressure and sometimes makes you feel like you’re not trying hard enough. But even if xem bóng đá trực tuyến sky seems to fall today, you still have to wake up tomorrow and continue with your life. Don't ever let xem bóng đá trực tuyến sorrow stop you from loving life. Defeat is not xem bóng đá trực tuyến end of xem bóng đá trực tuyến journey, but a quest for us to decide how to make our next moves. Sadness and worries pose a great challenge to one's emotion, but with enough strength to carry oneself over them and achieve greater success, xem bóng đá trực tuyến bliss of reaping xem bóng đá trực tuyến sweet success from xem bóng đá trực tuyến seeds of failure is simply indescribable. In xem bóng đá trực tuyến face of failure, I often try and draw a lesson, and remind myself never to make xem bóng đá trực tuyến same mistake again. Then I set about to participate in sporting and community events to meet and connect with new people and lift my spirit up. There's no shame or embarrassment in accepting one's failure to become more complete every day.

What would you give as advice for young people who are struggling to achieve their success, in order to raise their self-confidence and strength?
I receive many messages from xem bóng đá trực tuyến young generation in Vietnam every day, which helps me learn a lot about them, even their music preferences. I feel passion and enthusiasm in their words, and I wish to connect more with them. I've also realized a major conflict among this generation, as they are well aware of their passion, but don't seem to enjoy what they're currently doing. Therefore, throughout your education, go for xem bóng đá trực tuyến things that you love, and learn, bit by bit, from anywhere. From people who are better than you, from reality, conferences, and also xem bóng đá trực tuyến internet. You know, xem bóng đá trực tuyến thing so far that I feel proud of xem bóng đá trực tuyến most is Pulse Active. Beyond just being a company, it is my spiritual channel to connect and transfer positive inspiration to Vietnam youth. 

Speaking of pressure, perhaps one of xem bóng đá trực tuyến biggest pressures for you is to outdo such an overwhelming figure as your own father. How do you address this matter and what did you do to demonstrate your competence?
I'd like to think of more as a challenge, not a pressure, for I am certain of my career and personal life. I believe that one needs to constantly challenge oneself in xem bóng đá trực tuyến course of life, while staying true to one's chosen path. xem bóng đá trực tuyến best thing that my father has given me is xem bóng đá trực tuyến opportunity to learn, to seize a chance when it comes, and to realize xem bóng đá trực tuyến importance of a positive working attitude. I've embraced my challenge and strive for it every day with xem bóng đá trực tuyến love and support of my family. From my point of view, family doesn't pressure me for self-acclamation, but rather provides me with xem bóng đá trực tuyến strength to overcome any hardship.
