Time is my life and it is my most precious thing.
So to me, efficient use of time and agile management have helped me achieve success. Previously, I worked up to 12 hours / day, but in recent months, I only work 1-2 hours / day. Sometimes I have to remember to call and ask the staff if they need any assistance. “Look, no sister !!!” but the efficiency is still increasing. I’m incredibly happy because the staff took my job away. Ooh …
I’m not an expert, but I have the pleasure of sharing because maybe what I write can touch someone, helping them get out of a deadlock like I used to be in.

In 2018, Teal Unicorn  were invited by the CEO of one of Vietnam’s largest clothing manufacturers to help make staff happier.  We quickly figured out that it wasn’t about individual experience, it was about frustrations of the system (which is usually the case: fix the system not the people).  This is the story in pictures:

It is hard to overstate just what an amazing case study that Vinh Duc Real is, so I want to preface the story told by Hang with my (Rob) own reflections on the journey over more than a year.

Not only did Hang completely reinvent the operating model for a real estate agency of 40 people, so that they were self organising teams, completely fluid as to size, structure, and duration; but then when most of the staff realised what a dynamite model it was and decided to go off on their own to start a new agency, this didn’t create any hostility or friction. Hang supported them in doing so and maintained a business relationship, so that they continue to share clients and properties, to their mutual benefit. As a result, Hang now operates with 5 staff, has reduced her office space and all her operating costs, and still gets the same revenue as she did with 40 and makes much more money than she used to. Everyone has three times higher income. 

Consider just how advanced this example of management is – straight out of the best of contemporary management textbooks. Completely self organising teams is the Agile that most organisations dream of. Growing staff until they fly free with their own business and remaining collaborating with them is pure Green from the Laloux model – one step away from Teal. Hang has made it work with courage and conviction, through the support and advice of Dr Cherry Vu. 

I’m Huỳnh Thúy Hằng (Sarah Huynh), CEO of Vinh Đức Real Estate Agency. I founded this company four years ago.

We have 40 staff involved in arranging the sale of properties, as well as investing in land and houses, in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.
