| Summary: | In the early Monday morning of April 10, 1999, sits Joseph Flemming in
front of the classy window of NOL (Neptune Orient Lines Ltd.) air-conditioned
penthouse. Joseph was holding a cup of freshly brewed coffee while staring far
to appreciate Singapore's natural scenic view of the early sun rising. Below,
contradicting to the natural view, a bunch of executives were rushing across the
busy traffic just right in front of the NOL Group's landmark building, a high rise of
21 floors building.
It was 8:45 am in the morning, and Joseph Flemming, a newly appointed
two-month-old CEO (Chief Executive Officer) of NOL Group, was already keen to
get down to his job. He likes to work as early as 7:45 am every morning and
more often than not on weekends as well. Joseph Flemming, a man in his mid-
60, who believes in getting results through hard work, was commented by a
former colleague in Maersk Lines, another world's top ranking shipping lines, as a
workaholic, being very hands on, open to suggestions and critiques, impatient to
get things done, always on the look for opportunity and way to get thing done
better.
The enchanting, high rise morning view was really a bonus for Joseph to
start off his daily routine early. |
