Hello. I am a powertrain engineer with 40 years of experience at large corporations and mid-sized companies (Hyundai Motor Group and parts suppliers), having served 18 years as an executive, CTO, and CEO, and I am now a retiree with extensive corporate management experience. I am Kim Hong-jip, who has accumulated field experience on the frontlines of fierce battlegrounds. Based on the insights and knowledge system I have personally acquired over decades, I would like to share my experience on how you can solve the problems of 'organizational dysfunction' and 'career stagnation' that you face in your professional life.
1. What problems do I solve for you?
Many professionals feel that the company they work for is like a 'mental landfill' filled with all kinds of problems. Organizations have 'Seunglyang-i' (opportunists) who only look after their own interests and steal others' credit, and they pollute the organization with 'Bullshit' aimed solely at manipulating others, with no interest in truth. In such environments, the majority of sheep remain silent and accumulate only passive resentment called 'ressentiment,' eventually falling into a 'valley of death' where their careers seem to have stopped. I solve precisely these problems: survival in absurd organizational environments and finding breakthroughs for stalled growth.
2. How do I solve these problems?
I solve your problems not through theory, but through three core strategies proven over 40 years.
First, technical armament to become an 'autonomous being (pissed-off sheep)':
I teach you how to neutralize the bullshit of opportunists through 'technical mastery'—overwhelming competence—and 'logical criticism' based on cold data, going beyond mere complaints. Additionally, through the mindset of 'elegant defeat,' which involves confronting the fear of dismissal or demotion head-on to gain inner freedom, I equip you with invincible armor that remains unshaken by any political pressure.
Second, building a 'professional mindset' that reads Strategic Inflection Points (SIP):
Beyond simply working hard, I help you develop the eye to detect '10x changes' that transform market rules. I provide execution guidelines (the 10 Commandments of Professionals) that help you escape from complacency that erodes yourself and your organization, view the world from a 360-degree three-dimensional perspective, build your own knowledge system, and connect it to actual results.
Third, mastering social intelligence that penetrates human nature:
You will learn how to convert inner emotions into fuel for rational thinking and how to decode the real intentions (codes) hidden behind others' masks. I will guide you on the journey to create a 'reality group' without being swept away by collective madness, take the initiative, and find an unwavering sense of calling through a higher perspective that encompasses your entire life.
I aim to be a facilitator who helps you grow not as mere organizational parts, but as proactive masters with your own standards. My 40-year record will serve as clear navigation to help you cross your 'valley of death.'
