Move faster than your competitor



Andrew Tsui

Andrew Tsui is the Managing Director of India operations of Asus, which is one of the world’s largest technology manufacturing company. He has a degree in Power Mechanical Engineering and also a management degree. Andrew enjoys cooking, swimming, music and reading in his spare time. Here’s his take on four questions from Business Line:

Two things that my education/training taught me:

If you sit and wait for a question, you are still a student. If you start asking questions and try to explain things, you are becoming a teacher. A person learns much more and faster after he starts teaching.

Be focussed and move faster than your competitor to make him a follower.

Two things I learnt from my work/real life:

Monetary rewards are only a bonus; experience is the real salary.

Good things are always followed by the bad, and vice-versa. (A Taichi philosophy)

One quality I look for the most in a new recruit:

A strong sense of ownership.

A book that I read recently:

The GE Work-Out, by Dave Ulrich, Steve Kerr and Ron Ashkenas.
