KEY C-SUITE CONCERN ...ASIAN CHALLENGE

UNDERSTANDING CONFUCIAN MINDSET
Lessons Learned From Experience in the South Korean Executive Suite


Much like Alice who fell down the rabbit hole, Dr. Linda Myers was astonished to learn only after she reported for work in Seoul, South Korea that she was the country's first directly hired foreign female executive. Reporting to work at SK, an $80 billion conglomerate, third in size after Samsung and LG, she soon realized that everything she knew about Confucian culture barely scratched the surface.



Presenter

Dr. LINDA MYERS, GPHR, SPHR
Global Human Capital Partner of WorldWiseHR





Dr. Myers brings 25 years of trailblazing work -- the first to serve in a newly created strategic role -- as both an internal Human resources practitioner and external consultant. Today she is the Global Human Capital Partner of WorldWiseHR, a boutique consulting firm that is retained to support businesses increase their global performance by leveraging human resources capabilities. Between October 2007 and October 2010, Dr. Myers was recruited and “inpatriated” to Seoul, South Korea, from the United States to help accelerate globalization of SK Group, an $80 billion South Korean holding company exceeded in revenues only by Samsung and LG. Leading Global Talent Management, raising global mindsets, developing global policies and practices, and branding the company outside Asia, Dr. Myers also had an ‘extracurricular’ role supporting the Korean President, Lee Myung Bak in his efforts to rebrand South Korea. SK has 35,000 employees across 12 different operating companies, has business presence in 30 countries, and is ranked on the Fortune Global 100 list. Dr. Myers served as the first foreign female VP level executive in this country. Prior to joining SK Group, Dr. Myers served in various global strategic leadership capacities with multinational companies including Wyeth Pharmaceuticals, Munich ReInsurance, Rockwell International, Astra Zeneca, and Bristol Myers Squibb. She has also served smaller consulting companies like China Human Resources Group which has facilitated joint ventures between US multinationals and state owned businesses in the PRC for 25 years. Here, she has worked with such companies as Abbott, Armstrong, Baxter, Johnson & Johnson, and Portman Properties. Dr. Myers was born and raised in New York City. Her unusual personal background (two deaf parents) has been the catalyst for her fascination learning about other cultures. She has lived in major U.S. cities between Boston and Washington, D.C., worked on 4 continents, and traveled to all 7. Dr. Myers earned her bachelor’s degree from Goucher College and her Master and Doctoral degrees from Harvard University focusing on pre-, during, and post- integration challenges of the first global pharmaceutical merger including strategy, due diligence, change management, executive selection, employee communication, culture integration, and outcomes assessment.
