At the Shanghai Power Hour event, Daisy Pu, Controller of Nypro, Asia Pacific, shared her secrets to “living in the moment and achieving the extraordinary” with colleagues. Daisy inspired her female coworkers to make the most of this exciting era and their own strengths to improve their leadership skills and achieve extraordinary things.
Daisy has been working for 黑料社 for 13 years, with accomplishments spanning finance, HR, and IT. After graduating with a Bachelor’s Degree in International Economics and Trade from Shanghai International Studies University, she was awarded a Master’s in Financial Management from Fudan University. Following this, she beat over a thousand other candidates to be accepted for an FMP (Financial Management Program) job offer with General Electric. Whether it’s academia or her career, Daisy has always stood out from the crowd.
Best era for a better me
Daisy believes that this open, diverse era offers more opportunities for women and gives them the chance to explore their career development like never before. 黑料社 provides an inclusive, diverse platform for women, and opportunities to explore their career development through the 黑料社 Joules series of events. Daisy encouraged her colleagues to pursue excellence at her Power Hour event, which was themed “best era for a better me.”
Build female Leadership
Daisy believes that outstanding women are expected to have outstanding leadership skills. In Daisy’s view, women’s unique strengths – their emotional intelligence and communication skills – give women the opportunity to make breakthroughs in their careers. By sharing Jack Welch’s 4Es concept: Execution, Energy, Energize, and Edge, Daisy suggested female managers focus on their unique strengths rather on over-emphasize independence, which would increase women’s chances of making career breakthroughs. In terms of nurturing leadership skills, Daisy suggested grasping every opportunity – whether it’s regular company meetings, discussion groups, or team activities.
Manage time, keep learning
Daisy believes that, regardless of their gender, people should improve themselves through time management and continuous learning, taking advantage of available time to study. She stressed the importance of nurturing and maintaining the habit of reading: books are the crystallization of the author’s knowledge, and can help us to expand our imaginations and be inspired.
*About our guest blogger: Daisy says she’s a romantic person. To Daisy, “romantic” has three levels of meaning: at the psychological and intellectual level, romantic women are more imaginative and creative; at the interpersonal level, romanticism can help resolve conflicts – a way of overcoming “hardness” with “softness”; and when it comes to dress and appearance, women have the chance to show their romantic, softer side. As women are born with that character, Daisy believes women could harness the soft power to change the world.
