Recently, Nvidia’s “Jensen Huang” has been an interested follower. What made Nvidia the best company in the world and what kind of leadership does Jensen Huang have?
Tracking all the data, it all boils down to one word. In other words, it was “Intelligent Honesty.” Samsung Electronics executives who had worked with Nvidia for 15 years strongly felt during their business with Nvidia was “fast speed.”
It is believed that the source of this speed comes from ‘intellectual honesty’. If there is a risk of making a mistake or failure, you should report it truthfully as soon as possible. And mistakes or failures can be learned through learning. With ‘intellectual honesty’, there is no reprimand or demotion. Since its inception, Nvidia has never undergone major restructuring, with a turnover rate of 17.7% in the industry, which is overwhelmingly low at 2.7%. With a 30-year history, Nvidia has many executives who have worked for more than 20 years and many employees who have worked for more than 10 years.
In general, ‘intellectual honesty’ is classified into the following five contents.
It means not distorting or selectively using data, but judging and determining based on data as it is.
Emphasize the attitude of analyzing issues objectively and thinking critically without being swayed by one’s own prejudices or personal interests
When there is a mistake or misjudgment, it has an attitude of quickly acknowledging it and quickly correcting it.
It is important to clarify your thoughts and decisions, share them with others, and receive feedback
As knowledge and technology continue to develop, they have an attitude to learn and apply new information and methods.
I am confident that if Nvidia’s core management philosophy, “intellectual honesty,” which has emerged as the strongest in the AI era, is introduced and applied to each company, it will achieve good results.
