Ajou's President Dong Yeon Kim gives a special lecture to Suwon City officials participating in the Key Leaders Education Program2015-11-26Ajou University President Dong Yeon Kim gave a special lecture to 30 Suwon City officials (Grade 6) who are participating in the Key Leaders Education Program. The Suwon Municipal Government commissioned the University to operate the Program.President Kim's lecture began at 10:30 a.m. on November 26th and was based on his experiences and anecdotes as a senior public official.He talked about his experiences leading deregulation as the Minister of the Office for Government Policy Coordination, saying "32 percent of all regulations can be eliminated without changing laws and regulations. The reason why it is hard to get rid of them may be because of public officials’ stereotype mindset and ways of working." He added, "You should continue to attempt to break such a stereotype rather than sticking to previous successes and ways of working."President Kim cited 'humility' as the most important quality of a public official, saying that public officials should listen to what others say and put themselves in others' shoes.He went on to say, "Jim Collins, a business consultant, said personal humility contributes to building greatness," emphasizing, "The enthusiasm of right-minded civil servants is critical in establishing a sustainable economic and social structure."After the lecture, President Kim had a luncheon with the Suwon City officials. He said, "Ajou is trying to develop in harmony with the local community including Suwon City, and I will give lectures whenever there is a request." Dean Heung Sik Kim and Professor Hyuk Sung Kwon of the Graduate School of Public Administration also joined the luncheon.Thirty officials (Grade 6) from the Suwon Municipal Government are attending the Key Leaders Education Program, which lasts for ten months. The Program includes 19 subjects including “The Changing Administrative Environment and Local Government Administration for the Future,” “Proper Views of Public Positions,” “Laws and Regulations Relevant to Municipal Officials,” and “Education on Informatization.”
