Challenges of the Local Staff

We keep hearing from dozens of top managements mentioning local staff:
"We appreciate their culture, politeness, diligence and good human nature. But aren't they a little too passive?"

To be more specific, it goes like this:

Someone often sees this as an innate nature of the people in a certain culture or unchangeable character of each person.
- We could argue that.

The Concept of PDP

Proactivity Development Programme (PDP) is the course that develops proactivity and induces active actions of participants. It changes their mindsets which is often seen as something unchangeable.

The fact of the matter is, this mindset can be changed.
Because the root cause of the passiveness often attributes to mere lack of skills and a small misunderstanding in their mind.

Skills

　One does not know how to tackle problems and do not know the way of communication for asking people to cooperate.
Therefore one does not actively take action. 　

Mind

　One does not think he/she can make changes, so takes things as somebody else's business.
Or one might not even know being proactive is a good thing in the first place.

Anyone can learn those skills through training.
As for mindset, one can learn it through activities such as; think through the issues of their workplace, have a discussion, receive feedbacks from trainer and colleagues.

PDP is a course lasts for a couple of months so that participants can actually change.
Those three are the factors that make PDP so effective:

The word "Proactive" is an antonym of "Reactive", and "Proactivity" implies to anticipate what is going to happen and actively take action by oneself.
In this course, we cultivate employees who have a good sense of ownership in their job, under the slogan of "Be Proactive".
