I currently work in the chemical products division selling dyes and adhesives for automotive use, electrical materials and housing.
About a year after I joined I had the important duty of introducing our company in front of dozens of American clients at a supplier conference overseas. I can't say that I had full knowledge about the company at the time or the confidence in my English abilities, but I gave it my best shot and my speech was greeted with applause. The episode gave me courage to calmly think of a solution when trouble occurs.
The chemical products division I work at was created only last year, we still don't have sufficient staff so much of the work falls on the shoulders of each person. On the other hand, it means that you can make decisions at your discretion based on information exchange with your superiors.
"Knowing without knowing"
Knowing that you do not know something is chance to expand your knowledge, a chance for new discoveries and joy of learning.
In one word, "freedom" best describes the climate at the company. However, it is a freedom that is underpinned by each individual member's sense of responsibility.
You are given a field at which you can excel, think and act, and therein lies the joy of working.
