  • Richard Liao | 继承者还是接班人 一个CEO的养成 | Part I 渴望独立
    Apr 17 2023

    “接班跟继承是两个不一样的概念,接班是succession and planning, 那继承是inheritance。坦白讲,谁不想当继承者?接班就不一样了,你真的要把这个企业不好的地方都做好,改成与时俱进永续经营,那是一个很大的re-engineering。”

    “我认为passion很重要,可是我认为money更重要。”

    “就算我用爬的都要爬进去,拿到那张进去华尔街的ticket。”

    “我一个男的那么高那么大,25岁,在办公室哭哎,哭完之后回到自己的座位上,继续做这个报告到晚上十一,十二点,又不敢回家,就怕明天早上八点钟需要报告,就睡在办公室。”

    Jan 12 2023

    “我们一群人在做一件我不知道出路在哪儿的事,但是每天大家都为了寻找这个出路而努力。”

    “就像马拉松,你别数脚下还有多少路,你就跑就好了,你要做的就是跑好脚下每一条路,不要去想结果。”

    “大家去思考,我想做什么样的工作,而不是什么工作。把各种需求特质抽离出来,然后去匹配。”

    离开了外交部的张宇德和自由度过了一个长长的蜜月:去北外读了研,给中国男排外教做了多年随队翻译,还为国家主席做了外翻。终于将passion做成职业的他为什么又做出第二次重大的改变?

    “我觉得这是上天注定的安排,因为我在委内瑞拉遇到了 THE most incredible人和事。塞翁失马,焉知非福。”

    “我不能逃避问题,我要去面对他,哪怕我对现在对职业生涯不满意,但是没有资格去说我适不适合,因为

    我给他的时间不够。我给我和外交事业彼此一个周期,那样之后无论做出任何决定, 都更理性。”

    “你要离开都时候,你最亲的人是可以理解的,因为他直到那个痛。”

    “我这是及时止损。我并不知道我下一步那条路是对的,但我明确的知道这条路是错的。”

    张宇德,北外毕业开启了8年外交生涯,外派乌拉圭和委内瑞拉,那些驻外的时光他经历了什么,回国以后又为何选择离开,离开外交部这个自带光环的金饭碗?

  • Special Episode | The Pain of Changes
    Nov 23 2022
    With what happened at Meta in the past two weeks, half of my marketing fellows were let go, as part of the 13% company-wise layoff. I was not one of them. I did not know how to describe my feelings at that particular moment, and I still don’t. All I know is that the suddenness of loss hit me off guard, and my heart sank deep and felt hard to float back on. I was trying to stay positive by sending caring messages, and telling myself to stay strong, but nothing seems to work fundamentally. I think there is another kind of permanent pain dwelling deep down in my heart that triggered me to re-reconcile a lot of thoughts that I didn’t get a chance to think about. I started to question the questions that I thought I had an answer to, asking a lot of whys and then realize life is a book that you won’t be able to read until you have been through it. There is actually nothing to question about, but let the waves of time push you through. You thought you had control of how to ride them, while the truth is, you barely have any. You thought you have got all the education, experience and self awareness to better control the direction of life, while the fact is that life is a box of chocolates. As negative and passive as this may sound, there is something I believe that drives me and everyone of us forward in a manner that we believe in. It goes deep down to the value that we believe to bring, inspired by the passion that we are naturally born with. We are always educated not to trade anything else with passion, but the reality is that it might just be a word worth nothing today or tomorrow. We are lectured on to focus on process instead of result, which ironically often turns out to be the sole measure to evaluate our success. And what is success? Life is not a business, and home is not an operation. So at the end of the day, what is that light at the end of the tunnel that we are looking forward to? I have no clue. I guess that’s what all humans have been relentlessly chasing after: the meaning of life. And I think the only way to find the answer is to live it, and live it fully. I know I have been carried away. And that’s ok. We tend to think deep when we are hit hard. And this whole journey about finding the answer is probably why we exist. Now it’s all about perceptions in terms of how you look at things that happened. It’s not relevant if things happen for a reason or not, as you can just change that reason to whatever you want. All that matters is that you choose your way to carry on. You may not have all the freedom you need to navigate this journey as you want, but you do own every little step in front of you to move forward, as you know, tomorrow is another day. And from what happened, it’s pretty clear that life is not about winning or loss, as it’s purely a collection of experiences and emotions for us to taste and be through. It’s a privilege to have the chance to live through it and it’s definitely magical to have so many people to live through it together, which absolutely adds another layer of richness to this already-fruitful experience. So, thank you my friend, my metamates, thank you for being part of this journey and I treasure every single minute of it.
