—— the smooth convocation of the management meeting of the vice presidents of SafBon 

Water Service

Before you become a leader, the whole of success is self-growth. When you become a leader, success becomes a help for others to grow. 

                                                                                                  -- Jack Welch

Spring is approaching. SafBon Water Service held the management meeting of the vice presidents of the group from 27th to 28th in Mar. Unified leadership has always been this enterprise’s management philosophy, and the whole company has the same voice-- ONE VOICE， ONE LANGUAGE. Each VP works tightly around the president of Zhang Chunlin. Nowadays, a total of 12 VPs, 1 CEO, and 5 overseas CEOs managing 5 major business sectors of SafBon Water Service plus operation and supply chain and the departments of finance, investment and market make up a large organization. Under the organizational structure of SafBon, we require every senior executive to take charge, aware of the fact that everybody has the duty of transmitting and carrying out the meaning of the company’s decisions and strategies, and nobody shall stand by. Meanwhile, it is demanded that with the strategy of the group company all take actions quickly, accomplish quickly, coordinate inside the organization quickly, communicate with each other quickly, and take active part in your own work and thinking, thus take good control of the work in your charge!

At the meeting the chairman made a speech with the theme of We SafBon, whose summary is shown below:

The culture of SafBon Water Service: transparency, share and data driven. It is required all the staff sign a pledge solemnly. Whoever violates this principle will be demanded to depart firmly! A CEO should be the one who has foresight, vision and global insight and the one who is broad-minded and grafts Chinese power with global resources. Every senior executive needs to have a positive attitude, get out of comfortable zone and face challenges actively! Senior executives are supposed to have sight of the big picture, have a clear judgment on the uncertainty of the future and be prepared to deal with changes at any time.

Our corporation must use one language and a consistent style of writing and expression should be used in all the parts from project negotiation, marketing activity, technical exchange, delivery process, bank credit to websites of the company and propaganda on LinkedIn, etc.

The management and efficiency of all sub-companies need to be improved, just like what the West Point CATCH 22 "22 rules" said: each CEO of sub-companies should unconditionally obey the command of headquarters, which is a basic discipline. We need to reduce ineffective communication. Each CEO of subsidiary’s work report template needs to be detailed, and each contract should be reported individually and separately, adhere to the principle: any action delay means loss, efficiency means money. We have to establish a mechanism for mutual learning and communication. The cross meeting between the headquarters and the subsidiaries and among the subsidiaries will become normal in the future. All subsidiaries need to adjust their talent structure. People who have engineering education background are what we expect. In order to highlight the characteristics of a water treatment company, it is reasonable that the ratio of process engineers reaches 50%.

At the meeting the 12 vice presidents shared what they have learned from work and their respective management philosophy, and all agreed each vice president and CEO is result oriented, and pursues results with a strong executive power, with the financial index as a guide, stable talent structure as the concept of development, long-term and sustainable planning of the organization as the basic requirements. In the future, we will establish three centers in Shanghai headquarter: a design center, a procurement center and an accounting center, while overseas subsidiaries' work content is to gain market orders and carry them out, so as to generate higher profits for headquarters. The product manual of the flat ceramic ultrafiltration membrane and air floatation equipment will be published in the second half of the year gradually to ensure that customers can calculate and choose the equipment on their own. In order to prevent problems in the installation and commissioning stage, the company's operation department should be involved in the preliminary design and audit process of construction drawings in advance. Designers should listen to the opinions of the operation units and modify the design plan. At the same time, the group will choose a plant as a training base for SafBon Water Service, and prepare training materials and teams with SafBon features, which will become the "Communist Party of SafBon". As for the building site, architectural appearance of operating water plant, clothing, logo and so on, we will have the visualization system reform, highlighting the characteristics of SafBon.

We are expecting SafBon Water Service to grow sturdily and become the best among China's environmental water enterprises and further promote the innovation and development of the industry!
