One hundred years ago in Zhejiang Province, the mountain retreat Mogan Shan served as a getaway for foreigners wishing to escape the bustle of Shanghai. Since then, it all but disappeared as a tourist destination, only worthy of a few lines in the first Lonely Planet guides to China. Today, however, it has returned to its former glory as a prime vacation spot – only this time, Mogan Shan plays host to more than the honeymooners and romantic couples. The majestic mountain resort now welcomes an increasing number of corporate team building events. It was on one such team building excursion, that ClarkMorgan went ‘Into the Wild!’.

With a Little Help From Obama
We can definitely learn a lot from Obama; his audacity, optimism, and even presentation skills. However, I am not suggesting that you copy him. If during your next HR update to management you were to begin by saying,“Make no mistake ladies and gentlemen, the path that lies before us is fraught with hardship, yet lays the claim to something greater, more powerful that resides within us all…”then I am certain that you’d get more than a few strange expressions. Someone might even check if you are late on important medication. No, the point of this article is to take a look at some of the great principles that Obama uses, so we can convert them into our own style. As the tile of this article suggests, here are four Obama skills:

And what you should be doing about it
by Morry Morgan
China Eastern Airlines MU566 from Sydney to Shanghai was delayed … again. This time, it was by ‘only’ three hours. A “newly fitted part,” an Australian engineer told me,had failed after being installed on the ageing 737. Therefore, a new part had to be found. This was the second delay I had endured with China Eastern Airlines in less than a week. Six days earlier my flight from China to Australia required a seven hour circumnavigation of Pudong Airport to burn off fuel before making an emergency landing. The cabin, I later found out, was unable to pressurise.

Ok, I am back! Last time out, I talked about the importance of developing client management techniques within your organisation. Why was this important? Let me remind you. Managerial talent in China is both hard to find and expensive to acquire. Therefore, developing the type of skills needed to deal with the increasingly complex challenges posed here in China is vital to ensuring your organisation remains successful. This idea works on two levels. First, from a HR perspective, it helps you manage your organisation’s HR needs with greater efficiency. Second, by nurturing your top employees and helping them develop key management skills, you will ensure you do not need to take the costly and complicated approach of trying to bring in someone from outside when you need to fill your next managerial vacancy – you might just have the perfect candidate already!

Recruitment Transparency
In the last issue of Network HR, Allan Nee of Baode Law in Tianjin wrote a detailed and insightful article about the ways in which your organisation needs to adapt to China's new Labour Laws. Allan offered a myriad of fantastic advice. However, there was one factor he mentioned that really captured my attention - transparency.Read More

The Power of Acknowledgement
he seeds of this article were sewn as I put together the last edition of Network HR. First, as I edited the Training & Development section, I read the following prophetic words from Jennifer Peterson, "If you want your customers to feel cared for, you must care for the employees that serve them." This started me musing about the way organisations across China treat employees.Read More

Synchronicity for Success
A single droplet of sweat trickled down my neck as the glowing amber sun beat down on us. I glanced out of the corner of my eye and saw our competitors lined up alongside us. It was the moment we had been preparing for over the last 5 years. Our goal was crystal clear and I had visualised this very occasion countless times.Read More

War, what is it good for?
I believe I can bring the War for Talent to a peaceful end. I came to this realisation two
months ago after I was invited to present at the ‘Corporate Travel and Technology
World' conference in Shanghai. The topic, "Selecting Potential Leaders and Turning a Company from Good to Great", was
provided some months earlier, giving me time to source opinions from
around China. Read More
