Dock & Talk: Entrepreneurial Insights - Hai Ninh Nguyen on Human-Centric Leadership in Vietnam

"I really believe that being the leader doesn’t mean you have to be strong every time. Because the moment you act like strong, you create the shell, you create a distance between you and your people. Sometimes, as people, we know that we are vulnerable. So a lot of time, you should show that you're worried, you can be vulnerable." - Hai Ninh Nguyen
In this special edition of "Dock & Talk: Stories from the Top," hosted by Prof. Andreas Kaplan, President of Kühne Logistics University (KLU), we are joined by Hai Ninh Nguyen in the bustling center of Saigon. Nguyen, the founder of The Coffee House and a visionary in the co-living business with M Village, shares his philosophy on human-centric leadership and the importance of vulnerability in building strong teams.
Filmed in the vibrant Ho Chi Minh City, where KLU is broadening its international scope with a new campus, this episode dives into Nguyen's leadership style, which emphasizes empathy and openness. His approach offers profound lessons on nurturing a supportive and effective work environment, especially in high-growth sectors like logistics and hospitality.
