Message

In this period of drastic change, we need strong leaders at home and abroad.
International Management Forum (IMF) offers an optimal opportunity for leaders to discover and unleash their potential in the international community.
Our foundation is composed of:
- to have passion as an individual and mission as an organization.
- to respect colleagues and support them in demonstrating their full potential.
- to improve oneself, bond with colleagues, and enhance the organization.

In order to exhibit leadership that passes through borders and across time, we hold the following principles.

  1. 01
    To have passion as an individual and mission as an organization.
  2. 02
    To respect colleagues and support them in demonstrating their full potential.
  3. 03
    To improve oneself, bond with colleagues, and enhance the organization.

When you dedicate yourself to the mission, your colleagues will come around to your ideas.
When you respect and support them, they will unleash their potential.
When you improve and cultivate yourself, they will resonate with you and your organization will grow.

The essential ability to demonstrate leadership in the international community is not linguistic competence,but communication ability.
Communication in the international community is to seek the best solutions by thinking together, and for that purpose, we first need connection, active listening, concise speech, and dialogue.
In the international community where it is not easy to communicate with non-verbal nuance, we should constantly pay attention to deliver a message with clarity and well prepare and practice in advance.

You will learn about leadership and communication skills through discussions on business case studies.
