Phison President and General Manager (US) Michael Wu Talks Leadership Strategy with Authority Magazine

With nearly two decades in the tech industry, Phison (US) President & General Manager Michael Wu built Phison’s presence in the United States marketplace from the beginning, cultivating an incredible team, and establishing a cutting-edge R&D center during the pandemic. While “positive thinking, passion, risk-taking, adaptability, and perseverance” have all been key to his success as a leader, the high degree of value he places on empathy and communication as a leader may surprise you.

In this in-depth interview with Authority Magazine’s Jason Hartman, Michael discusses his journey from Phison’s “lone field application engineer (FAE) in the U.S.” to the region’s top leader. His insights on team building for success, product development, and the importance of taking a holistic view of the company’s operations and strategic growth initiatives while still taking the time to communicate with employees and pay attention to small details.

“Being a leader is not being an authoritarian and expecting people to follow orders without question. If you can dispel the traditional myths of what a powerful leader “should be,” you can foster a workplace that encourages innovation and creativity”
