We're very pleased to share this article published today in Commonwealth Magazine. This feature article offers a close-up, behind-the-scenes profile of the work we are doing at McKinsey Taiwan to help our clients undertake comprehensive, multi-year digital transformations for their businesses.

It tells of the major changes that McKinsey Taiwan has undertaken to become a true partner with its clients in the transformation of their businesses, and the enormous bottom-line impact as reflected in increased profits and boosted market valuation that our work is helping them to create.

It also discusses some of the less tangible but no less important ways we are having impact by helping our clients to create lasting and positive change in their organizations. We work hand-in-hand with our clients to drive innovation throughout all levels, from the CEO to frontline staff, of their organization. We provide extensive hands-on training and coaching in addition to the rigorous problem-solving and project management that are part and parcel of the way we help our clients achieve impact.

The article also tells the story of how Albert Chang, Senior Partner and Managing Partner of McKinsey Taipei, moved from the US to Taiwan several years ago because of his firm belief in the potential for Taiwan to become a global leader in the digitization of its economy, his confidence in the potential of Taiwan's deep pool of highly educated, hard-working talent, and, as the son of Taiwanese immigrants to the United States, his appreciation for his heritage.

Covid-19 has affected all of us in one way or another. We are grateful to our clients above all for the trust they have placed in us as performance partners in their business. We also appreciate the hard work that everyone at McKinsey Taiwan has put into making sure we continue to deliver impact to our clients with the utmost of professionalism.

And finally, thank you to the gifted writers and editors at Commonwealth for helping to tell our story.

We survived 2020!

This year was a nightmare for me. I felt left out, I felt pain, lonely, and lost at times. 😢

But because of 2020, I learned to care for people I’ve never met, I got to spend so much time with my family and I learned most about myself, more than I ever freaking could have. 🤔��Many things happened this year, and there is a handful that I thought would deserve to be reposted so I could look back at it if there are decisions that I would reconsider upon reflection, or memories that I ought to remind myself. 😇

‘An English-speaking Mao Zedong’｜Lee Yee

In mid-November, a friend of mine, a youngster, texted me: “He’s really stingy.” I replied: “It’s OK! Even though we have been holding different views for years, he has been putting up with my audacity.”

Since we met because of June 4 at a dinner with other pro-democracy movement figures, we have been acquainted with each other for more than 30 years, during which we had frequent dealings and contact with one another for a number of years. Asked by him about how much money was needed for running a magazine, I, the operator of The 90s, a business with small capital, told him to put in ten times of mine for a weekly publication. In the end, he invested a hundred times of it in running the most influential magazine that cornered the market in town. Later on, he founded a newspaper which also changed the media ecology in Hong Kong, initiating an unprecedented market setting all at once.

Inspired by the democracy movement in Beijing to switch to another line of work, he surely did it for his compassion for China. I used to have it myself, and it stayed strong until June 4, after which I merely hoped for the indigenous values of Hong Kong to be preserved. In light of the Handover being imperative under the circumstances, to get the democratization of Hong Kong moving seemed to be the only way out, though I reckoned the chance of success was slender as well.

In terms of our beliefs in freedom, democracy and the rule of law, there hasn’t been much difference between us. As to our outlooks on the prospect of democracy of China and Hong Kong, I have always been pessimistic while he has always taken the opposite view. It is understandable because pessimism is never an obstacle to my writing while it is to an operation of such a big media business.

In 2005, I was invited by him to become a writer-turned-editor in charge of the opinion page. He promised me back then he would never meddle in my editorial orientation. As I recommended on purpose a commentator who had fallen foul of the paper, he consented without hesitation. It’s a shame that I was finally turned down by that commentator.

From being an editor to being fired nine years later, from writing editorials to writing a column, I have been disagreeing with him on a number of issues over the last decade: localists versus pro-Greater China camp, freedom of discussion about independence, evaluation of the youths and the valiant, support for or criticisms of the pan-democratic alliance, “conspiracy theories” in all previous elections… But as my boss, he has been putting up with me, delivering to me his opposite viewpoints through somebody else. And he never hampered me from publishing articles I showed him in advance that bluntly criticized him.

With his compassion for Greater China, opening up of China was definitely appealing to him. As far as I know, China did try quite a number of times to take him in in its united front work. There was an occasion that one of his good friends met him in Taiwan, saying to him that he was invited by the Chinese Communist Party(CCP) to pay a visit to China, that he was to be allowed to run newspapers there about everything – entertainments, sports and the society, except for politics, and that in view of the growing economy of China, he would earn a big fortune. No sooner had he finished listening to it than he called the security guards to send the guest off. Later, he explained to me why he did it so abruptly instead of euphemizing. He said he was actually afraid of not being able to resist the enticement, and that he would abstain from the principle of distancing himself from the power. Listening to the story about his being aware he would get feeble, I admired him in all sincerity.

At whiles I just think he displeased the CCP not because of his words and deeds, but the fact that he couldn’t tell good from bad. Who couldn’t be bought off? Not least he’s just a businessman. That was just so riling!

When the publication began in Taiwan, I was told that according to the tacit business regulation in Taiwan, kickbacks had to be given to those who were empowered to do ad placements from the clients’ side. Yet the boss disapproved of it, which made things difficult for the staff in the advertising department. I asked him why he couldn’t bend the rule a little. He said as we kept laying bare under-the-table deals among politicians and businessmen, it was hard to justify ourselves if we also engaged in the same dirty deals. He is really somebody who insists on complying with laws, attaches importance to rules and ethics. Whenever I think of such a person being imprisoned, I feel sorrowful about him and the society.

It has been more than a year since last time I got in touch with him that he gave me a call asking me to stop writing my memoir for a few days to talk about the anti-extradition movement in my column in March last year. That was the only time he has ever suggested a writing topic for me. I agreed for I was going to do the same thing.

The youngsters in touch with me have always been discontent with him and his paper because of a lot of events over more than a decade, but I have always told them to take a look at a bigger picture. He is said to be an English-speaking Mao Zedong in the newsroom. Maybe it’s true. Mao’s merits and demerits aside, his manifest stubbornness and insane words and deeds showed he was somebody that would achieve something big. Winston Churchill was also an eccentric and moody person, but he did a marvelous feat against all odds. It seems Trump belongs to the same category, so does he.

Week 2, I don't have much time as each week gets ticked off and I think i've pottered about enough on my training. My food has been very good for the past two weeks. I haven't had a cheat since the start of Phase 7, my coach told me it was going to be a hard reset on my system and I have to say it came at a great time as I got exciting news.

I was going to get my chance to be on the September COVER issue of Women's Health Malaysia Magazine!

O.M.G!!!

It has always been one of my dreams to be on the cover of a magazine. Yes I've been on them before - twice to be exact - but I've never been shot on my own before. This would be my first. Thank you again Women's Health Malaysia for giving me the chance to tell my story, I truly hope what I shared will inspire other females out there, who will in turn inspire many more females in the process.

Talking about training a lil bit, only managed to get in 4 days of training and what i consider cardio. That has to stop, i'm suppose to be getting in at least 5 days of solid training in. That has to happen this week!

In the midst of all this work continues and have fun watching snippets of the Color Run KL which finally came back to Malaysia after 3 years. Very honored and grateful that they called me back. I've hosted many runs over the course of 5 years and The Color Run will always hold a special place in my heart, cause the energy given by the crowd is a whole different level.

Some words of wisdom. I shared this a while back and just wanted to share on how to stay motivated.

For anyone starting on their fitness journey. Motivation is something very personal and it can only come from a strong source, which is yourself. When you embark on your fitness journey, ask yourself WHY.

Why do want to get fit? Whats your purpose to do so?

It is something that requires commitment and hardwork but the rewards are great. I propose this question. Because everytime you think of quitting, remember your Why. Your why needs to be strong. And when it is, you will find the strength to do what is necessary to continue forward with your journey.

Sounds deep, but this is why I call it fitness with a purpose. :)

With that, i'll leave you for this weeks Vlog. Thank you again for joining my journey. Here's to me getting better focus for this week and may you have great focus too.
