Ken tells us, “That’s when I learned the value of money, discipline, the meaning of ‘No pain, no gain’.” Still a young... https://www.scmp.com/presented/business/topics/leave-your-mark/article/2045698/mission-hills-profits-family-people-nation?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/presented/business/topics/leave-your-mark/article/2045698/mission-hills-profits-family-people-nation?utm_source=rss_feed Mon, 14 Nov 2016 04:03:44 +0000 [Sponsored Article] By opening Mission Hills, David Chu put China on the golfing map during the 1990s. Today, it’s the world’s largest golfing facility, and David’s son, Ken, has no qualms where he wants to take Mission Hills – establish the company as China’s premier lifestyle and recreational resort.

For one, he kept his team structure rather flat to remove any hierarchies within the organisation. To this, Steven remarked, “I’m not a dictator. Although I am GoGoVan’s founder, I maintain an ‘open door’ management approach and constantly keep a listening ear to the team with an open mind.

Starting GoGoVan with four other young men, Steven Lam changed that in 2013. “Back then, I didn’t have the intention to create a logistics business; this platform was meant to help me deliver lunchboxes more efficiently!” Steven recalls.
