What is wrong with Koreans?

Why is it so difficult to meet successful Korean professionals in the global market? Well, HERE’S A FEW REASONS WHY:

1. Koreans lack an independent mindset. They are particularly lacking a positive drive to take the initiative.

2. They lack a sense of pursuing excellence. They just try to compete with colleagues in a company, rather than seek excellence.

3. They fail in logical and creative thinking.

4. They cannot handle open-ended quesions creatively

5. Some simply do not listen to questions that are asked.

That about sums it up. Oh… and before anyone starts moaning, complaining, calling me a racisit, telling me to go home if I don’t like Korea, etc., it should be pointed out that the above statements were made by a Korean professional about Koreans. I had nothing to do with those comments. Read more here at the Korea Herald

I completely agree with the person who made those comments. I have talked about this issue before and in detail.
