Transfer of generations during a period of comprehensive reorganization
During the most recent restructuring of the group, Le Viet Hieu has simplified from senior management, then to departments and employees.

The leadership approach that makes this CEO’s mark is “leader by question” to work towards the solution, the next steps of the problem and giving everyone the opportunity to contribute.
On the other hand, when a new goal comes out from the board of directors, the CEO’s implementation style is “cross-checking”, “taking careful steps” to get a high consensus.
“Must possess our own technology and financial capability to go international”
“In the future, if we want to have real and sustainable competitive advantages, we must aim for higher values,” CEOLe Viet Hieu said at The Next Power. “We have to have our own materials and technology.”
The two leaders said that in order to be truly competitive, the corporation had to solve three problems, including: Financial capacity to be able to expand to foreign markets, improving the skills and foreign language proficiency of the human resources and connect the construction industry ecosystem such as overseas materials and subcontractors.
Hoa Binh is making plans to increase the value it generates through innovative endeavors. One of the most recent “constructive” actions of the group is to invest 900 billion in the Hoa Binh Innovation Center.
