CEO Juhn’s Thoughts on Good Luck < The Financial News >

“ I am the one who brings good luck. So l believe Hyundai Corporation as well as every member of the company will go great. “

It is his words that Mr. Mark Juhn, CEO of Hyundai Corporation, recently enjoys saying to his employees when he meets them. Last Monday when he went around each division at the office, he again conveyed this message to the employees.

Hyundai Corporation staffs are encouraged with this message because he could not give this kind of message to the employees without the confidence in the current management status, in which the company is in the process of corporate restructuring program.

A company official said, “Whenever CEO Juhn delivers these promising message, the employees feel as if they have powerful supporters for them” and “it is firmly believed by the members that once the company succeeds in graduating from the restructuring program by the end of this year, the company can get back to as it was.”

In fact, since CEO Juhn took the office in March 2004, the company has shown remarkable improvement. Since 2005, the company turned and has stayed in black and, in the first quarter of this year (January to March period), posted 4.1 billion won in sales profit and 8.4 billion won
in net profit. In addition, CEO Juhn successfully launched Yemen LNG project, which strengthened its strategic resources development business. He also completed in establishing Qingdao Hyundai Shipbuilding by successful take over.

Since last October, CEO Juhn has regularly gone on ‘Saturday-hiking’ to Bukhan Mountain with the company staffs and management every week. He believes that hiking can help each member get closer and exchange ideas, and that will result in beneficial effects at work.
