‘Respect is earned, not given’
By Kim Jooyoun / Korea Herald
I interviewed Eun-Mi Chae, the former CEO of FedEx Korea and currently an independent director of SKC. She broke new ground as the first Korean female CEO in the express transportation industry, successfully leading the company for 16 years. With over 35 years of experience, Chae is a pioneer, an exceptional communicator and an inspiring role model.
Q. What was your mindset when you were first appointed as CEO?
A. When I was appointed CEO of FedEx Korea, two key pieces of advice shaped my leadership approach. The first came from my American boss long ago, who told me, “Expats come and go, but locals stay and play pivotal roles in the business. Your role is to engage and motivate local employees, guiding them in the right direction.” The second came from my predecessor, a former boss, who warned, “You’re the first Korean and female CEO in FedEx Korea and the transportation industry. You’ll need to work hard, not because of your abilities, but because of societal biases.” These words made me realize that beyond proving my competency, I had to overcome ingrained perceptions.
