It is said that behind the success of a man is a silent women. So, who is behind a successful woman? Many women said: That is the family. Thus, the success of a woman is seen in both business and family affairs. Long renowned Nguyen Thi Nga, Chairwoman and CEO of King Valley Co. Ltd and Southeast Asia Commercial Joint Stock Bank, is such a person. Her success is a combination of many factors.
 
Factors of Success She is admired for operating successfully in two difficult fields of banking and finance, and luxury golf resort entertainment.
 
At present, the modernisation of technology is crucial for the success of a bank. In addition, human resource policies to encourage employee devotion to the enterprise also play an important role. Her bank has had notable success in working with foreign partners and financing key projects.
 
The golf course also needs modern technology as it saves time and costs for operating activities. The recruitment of top foreign experts is the secret to the success of King Island Golf Course.
 
Family and career: art of all time
“I always sincerely share with other people and all sincere things deserve sympathy,” she cites as her principle of life. She treasures sincerity, frankness and reliability in both work and life. She always says plainly what she wants and longs for. A promise is a pledge of honour; thus, she always fulfils. “These create common understanding and sharing and establish mutual trust,” she said, citing them as a basis for sustainable development.
 
Everyone has the same 24 hours each day. It is a challenge for a female leader to ensure the stable work for thousands of employees. “To avoid working pressure, you must love your work and plan to master the work, not follow it. I always harmonise family and business affairs. When I am at work, I pay full attention to the work but when I return home, I take full care of my family. I am very lucky to have strong and meaningful support from my husband and children. For me, the family is the fulcrum for firm steps in my career,” Nga said.
 
Arguably, women today have more chance to demonstrate their skill. Ms Nguyen Thi Nga is clear proof for this. Luck sometimes plays a role in bringing them to the top positions of corporations or groups, but their leadership abilities are decisive factors.
