January 27, 2014Change is Good
Top business owners, professionals and workers are not complacent even when economic times are good. Many are taking action as automation, robotics and mobile technology merge, staying on the forefront of change. According to a recent New York Times article, Lee Kun-hee famously told his executives when he took over Samsung 20 years ago, “Change everything but your wife and children.” More recently, in the wake of a record year of sales for Samsung, he cautioned: “As we move forward, we must resist complacency and thoughts of being good enough, as these will prevent us from becoming better.”
