The document discusses cultural differences in time management and work-life balance between Korea and Ukraine. Koreans are known to be extreme workaholics, spending 56 hours per week working and sacrificing sleep and personal life. This often leads to conflicts in Korean companies that employ Ukrainians, as Koreans may criticize Ukrainians for sleeping too much. The perspectives on work and corporate culture between the two countries differ fundamentally. The document suggests Ukrainians working with Koreans could benefit from learning the Korean approach to time management.

I
remember my first day in Samsung very well. It was the
first working day after a number of May holidays in
2007 and we had just moved to our new office in
Zhylyanskaya street.
Most of all I was impressed by my first chief, Head of
AV department, Mr. Jae. His firm confidence in a final result
motivated so much that my work turned into a competition
with myself, and putting down Mr. Jae was something impos-
sible.
I had known the field of PR before I became PR-manager,
however (!) I knew it from another side – as a journalist and
as a PR-agency member. At least I knew what a “good
PR-manager” must be like. That’s why the work for me was
familiar and unfamiliar in the same time. Probably my jour-
nalist background served me the good turn in my career
growth in PR. I knew and understood all editorial processes
from the inside so it was not difficult for me to find common
language with mass media and cross points of Samsung and
target audience’s interests.

Руководство посчитало, что именно в отделе бренд-маркетинга Yulia Shyshenko, Author of column
и PR я принесу наибольшую пользу, поскольку к тому времени у
меня за плечами уже было несколько десятков успешных проектов
в этой сфере. Я отлично знал ценности бренда, быстро развивался
и был готов к изменениям. Я понимал, что наряду с традиционны-
ми подходами нам нужно искать новые инструменты взаимодей-
ствия со СМИ и целевой аудиторией.
Когда я возглавил отдел, моей основной задачей было создание
команды, способной реализовывать амбициозные проекты. А для
этого необходимо, чтобы каждый сотрудник выкладывался на
100%. Конечно, это понравилось далеко не всем. Не скрою, пона-
чалу было некоторое сопротивление нововведениям, но после того
как ребята оценили перспективы и открывающиеся возможности,
они стали работать не за страх, а за совесть. И, конечно же, при
любых реорганизациях нужно четко донести до подчиненных,
какие изменения будут происходить, с чем они связаны и что
дадут. Только когда сотрудник компании понимает, чем он может
быть ей полезен и что компания может дать ему, он станет команд-
ным игроком.
Необходимо поощрять инициативу со стороны подчиненных и
не бояться делегировать им полномочия. Только так вы сможете
воспитать тех, на кого можно будет положиться в трудную минуту.
В завершение могу сказать, что роль компании в моей карьере и
жизни сложно переоценить. Именно здесь я добился наибольшего
успеха и не собираюсь на этом останавливаться. Samsung стал той
компанией, где я чувствую себя комфортно, где мне хочется трудить-
ся и совершенствоваться. Иногда необходимо уметь отстаивать свою
позицию, идти наперекор авторитетам и доказывать свою правоту.
Но только тогда, когда для этого есть основания и таким образом вы
можете помочь своей компании. Если вы будете плыть по течению,
то останетесь на вторых ролях и проплывете мимо своего шанса.
А всем новым сотрудникам советую: во-первых, не бояться.
Во-вторых, предпринимать определенные шаги для развития, а не
просто говорить об этом. В-третьих, развивать как hard skills, так и
soft skills. Настойчивость, вера в себя и готовность учиться.
Если вы действительно хотите чего-то достичь, то нужно тру-

Frankly-frankly Speaking
As you may remember, in June all SEUC employees were welcomed to take part in preparing the Frankly Speaking
column by interviewing Editorial Board. In this Digest issue you’ll find the result of our joint work. As four of us had
only a few phrases to continue, this time Frankly Speaking is “much more frankly” than it usually is:) So meet
Natalia, Liya, Svetlana and me in Frankly-frankly Speaking in June!
