👤 About Instructor John Kim →
Honestly, I wasn’t good at organizational life when I worked at a company. I didn’t know what a leader was, and my followership was weak. I couldn’t follow orders from above, and I couldn’t lead anyone either. It all felt awkward. But since I started working in training, that has changed a bit. Today in Yangpyeong, I ran a design thinking workshop for the director and all the staff, as both instructor and facilitator. There were a lot of people on site: the UBOB program manager, assistant instructors, team leads and team members from the end-user side, and more than 100 trainees. With this many stakeholders involved, an event can easily turn into a vague affair where no one takes responsibility. What I did today was simple. I took the lead first, gave everyone a clear role, and asked for help honestly where I couldn’t cover something. And I finished what I was responsible for. When it ended, the trainees said it was really great, and the managers said it was flawless and took real pride in it. On the way home, I thought: why could I show on site the leadership I never managed inside an organization? The answer seems surprisingly simple. At a company, I believed a ‘title’ makes a leader. On site, leadership turns out to be this itself: clarifying roles, asking for what you need, and finishing your own part.

Honestly, I wasn’t good at corporate life when I worked at a company. I had no idea what a leader was, and my followership was weak too. Following orders from above, leading others—I couldn’t do either, and it felt awkward. But in the training room…
