PRA The Opener Program 2021/2022 Class 2 Individual Leadership Challenge

[Audio] Hi everyone, My name is Thuy TRAN – HRBP Manager for CORE Business of Pernod Ricard Vietnam. I am very happy to present to you all my work for " Individual Leadership Challenge"..

[Audio] There are 03 tasks that I was assigned. Task 1 is Interview with your supervisor, to report back and to get advice to close immediate performance gaps. Task 2 is Interview with a leader in a different PRA Business Unit or geography within the PRA organization in order to better understand differing perspectives, priorities and agendas mid-term. And the final one is Interview with leader outside of PRA to find inspiration and trajectory for your long-term leadership development..

[Audio] Now, let's start with the first task!. Task 1.

[Audio] I've interviewed my Line Manager, Ms. Phuong GIAO – Head of HR of Pernod Ricard Vietnam to understand key focus to close my immediate performance gaps. She's provided me with 03 valuable focuses as follows: 1/ Develop strategic planning skill Upcoming task to develop & sharpen this skills: Headcount planning for B23 2/ Less emotional in decision making Sometimes we need to stick to pre-designated principles, not to create exceptional cases. 3/ Apply individualization approach in learning & development Understand learning needs of each employees, especially middle management staff to come up with tailored plan for them. Then we can effectively develop next generation of leaders for PRVN..

[Audio] Now, let's move on to the second task!. Task 2.

[Audio] It's my great honor to have an interview with Mr. Daren ONG, Managing Director of Pernod Ricard Cambodge. Before taking assignment in Pernod Ricard Cambodge, he had been working at Pernod Ricard Vietnam as Marketing Director. His viewpoint in term of people is greatly inspiring to me: I do not run the business directly. My role is to help and manage the people who run the business directly. We need to take care the people well enough so that they are motivated and can run the business to their best capabilities. Therefore, capability development is my focus. For senior leaders, training from external sources can be utilized (including learning from leaders of other Pernod Ricard affiliates/ taking short-term assignment at other Pernod Ricard affiliates) to develop and fast track our people. For younger generation, 70/ 20/ 10 training model can be well applied. Training & development can be considered as an effective tool of retention..

[Audio] Now, it's time for the last task!. Interview with leader outside of PRA to find inspiration and trajectory for your long-term leadership development..

[Audio] Ms. Hue NGUYEN, HR Director of AEON Retail Vietnam is my ex-boss. I admire her a lot because of her dedication to the development and well-being of the employees. Although her workload is super heavy: She has to manage a HR Team of nearly 40 people and total employees of AEON Vietnam now is about 2,500, she is always energetic and well balanced. Her leadership mottos are: 1/ A clear mind in a healthy body is a first & foremost enabler for a good leader. 2/ Each member has strengths & weaknesses. All that a leader need to do is to help his/her subordinate to maximize their strengths & minimize weaknesses so that they can become better versions of themselves . It's a long journey but very worthwhile. 3/ The older you are the more humbly you learn from others and learn constantly. It is difficult to be humble when we are young as we are ignorant, we just think that fighting for what we want is the right thing to do .In reality, it's only true to our thoughts but not the best ways to do things..
