"In terms of staffing or managing people, my approach has always been that you have to empathize with what the other person is, with what he's doing, what is going on in his background whether it's family issues that come to work or what not, right? You help him compartmentalize and you try to help him perform. EQ definitely plays a part as much as the IQ side. So I mean it's a blend of both. And it's really a case by case basis since different people may have different issues. By and large, the team at RV (RealVantage) is a small one where everybody is performing well. So it's performance-driven, a lot of accountability, processes that govern our work, so it's quite clear." - Mao Ching Foo
