pathways to virtuosity - learning to live great lives issue 4
DESCRIPTION
Our Mission is to be the best resource in manufacturing technology – partnering with our customers and suppliers to improve competencies for applying manufacturing technology resulting in leaps in productivity and thereby providing legendary customer value, as measured by our net promoter's number.TRANSCRIPT
YOU might ask, how is this relevant to me? It is relevant to every Phillips Partner -- every one of us are not only who we are, we are also the possibility of what we can become. At the highest level, isn’t this expressed by having a heart, mind, and soul dedication to a clear purpose in life? What is possible for you? What is possible for us? The most powerful force imaginable (this
side of Heaven) is people whose purpose in life is best achieved by contributing mightily to a great & worthy mission which is bigger than them -- in our case the accomplishment of the mission and vision of Phillips Corporation. Our company has a dual purpose, we are dedicated heart, mind, and soul to both being the best supplier of manufacturing technology in the world and to developing a community (our company) where we learn to live great lives.
Alan Phillips
Our definition of a great life:imagining what is possible and developing the competencies to create what you imagine. How does one learn to live a great life?
By learning to cultivate our imagination and grow our competencies. Learning or growing one’s competen-cies is best facilitated by taking on great challenges -- having a heart, mind, and soul commitment to being the best in your role -- to being a virtuoso. Is the role you are current-ly fulfilling providing you the best opportunity for you to accomplish your purpose in life? If you are a salesperson are you dedicated heart, mind, and soul to being the best salesperson there will ever be? If you are a service engineer are you dedicated heart, mind, and soul to being the best service engineer there will ever be? Can you imagine that the very best have the most fun, the best standard of living, the best life?
Our system is geared to provide each one of us the challenge we need through our role descriptions and SMARTER performance objectives. It is the everyday rigorous dialogue we have with ourself and with our team leader focused on our performance in comparison with that required in our role
descriptions and our SMARTER performance objectives that is the key to our learning -- to the growth of our competencies. It is the every day rigorous dialogue centered on the quality of our plans and the effectiveness of the execution of our plans to accomplish
our roles and our objectives.
Turning dreams into a reality -- is this really a possibility for us? Want a testimonial -- ask Ron Schulze -- ask Wouter Kleizen -- ask Ed Kilgallon -- ask Larry Hubbard -- ask Fred Joseph
-- ask Helene Kershaw -- ask Michael Garner -- these are among many Phillips Partners who have been on a most memorable journey -- a heart, mind, and soul dedication to the fulfillment of their roles and their purpose in life.
When you look through these pages at the people’s faces and their purposes -- can you imagine the possibilities? What is possible for each individual?What is possible for us and our community?
I am honored that KP Cheung, President of Tai Tong and our Partner in China, has written an article for us. It is remarkable how the culture of Tai Tong fitsharmoniously with the culture of Phillips.
KP Cheung
I am very pleased to say hello to all the friends from Phillips in this special way and to share some of my thoughts with you.
One day in 2004, I met in Beijing with Alan under the
introduction of Eric Lin. This was the beginning of the cooperation between Phillips and Tai Tong. Since 2006, we have opened three Joint Venture HFOs in China. Brooks and Connie played a great role in this cooperative relationship. After more than three years of the collision and fusion of Chinese and Western culture, the JV HFOs are now showing a very harmonious picture. We see the mutual understanding and trust that is built up between people from Tai Tong and Phillips. This is a hard won accomplishment. I treasure it very much. Today, I also hope that through this essay to further deepen our mutual understanding.
Tai Tong has a total of nine branch offices and more than 260 employees with an average age of 30 years old. They are so outstanding. Their intelligence and fighting spirits are always praised by the professionals. In 2008 HAAS has 11 HFOs in China. Tai Tong owns four of them, but our sales volume occupies 68 percent of the total sales of HAAS in China. I am very grateful to all the colleagues for their hard work. I would also like to say thanks for the great support from HAAS.
I always believe that the harmonious and healthy development of an enterprise is based on the mutual respect and trust between employees and the company. In Tai Tong, as the result of mutual trust, it creates very
simple and plain relationships among colleagues and the righteous working atmosphere, so that the management fees are naturally low and, more importantly, the work is more enjoyable. As there is no need for dancing when there is attendance upon superiors or subordinates, our efforts focus on how to improve the company’s business. Also, we are concerned about health, environmental protection, and vegetarian as well as being engaged in charitable activities. Despite the profit drop in this global financial crisis, we still donated about 120,000 U.S. dollars for the orphan’s education this month and sponsored a charity concert in the famous concert hall in southern China - Xinghai Concert Hall. Of course, all the donations and sponsorship expenses are gained by the hard work of Tai Tong employees. I am so grateful to them.
However, we can’t ignore the brutal market competition because of the happiness of doing charity. We have to keep learning and improving while being confident. Even now, we are discussing how to improve market share of HAAS in China and how to tap the market potential of each authorized HFO. We will keep moving with self-confidence, modesty and courage!
Finally, I wish you all success in work and a happy life!
