In today’s landscape of global competition and the growing emphasis on sustainability (ESG), corporate leaders must cultivate core qualities that empower them to guide their organizations through challenges and toward new heights. On the sidelines of an internal event at PAN Group — a Corporate Member (CMP) of VIOD — the company’s leadership reflected on the essential traits that shape effective governance today.
Four Essential Qualities of Modern Leaders
- Vision & Agility: Define long-term directions while swiftly reading market signals to make timely decisions.
- Courage & Accountability: Have the strength to make difficult choices and take full responsibility for the outcomes.
- Empowerment & Talent Development: Build the right team and place the right people in the right roles to maximize performance.
- Commitment & Sharing: Prioritize collective interests and stand with the organization through all circumstances.
The Power of the Board: Diversity – Transparency – Integrity
At PAN Group, the Board of Directors (BoD) operates like an “all-star team,” where each member brings unique strengths in strategy, governance, innovation, and sustainability. Members engage in open, constructive debates while maintaining full alignment on strategic direction.
Transparency and integrity serve as guiding principles — fostering lasting trust among shareholders, partners, and the broader market.
“Being an entrepreneur is not just about doing business; it’s a continuous journey of moving forward to create value for the community and the nation.”
— Ms. Nguyen Thi Tra My, CEO of PAN Group
