List of My Linkedin Articles

(If you enjoy reading my newsletter, please consider supporting the effort by purchasing my book:?The Odyssey of Self-Discovery: On Becoming A Leader. I am confident that reading my book will help create an inflection point on your leadership journey.)

My very first blog was posted on July 23, 2017 entitled "The Journey is the Reward" about my marathon running. I have since then posted a total of 274 articles in the last five years on various topics including leadership, decision making, innovation, China, marathon, and photography. Many of you have been following my weekly blog for a few years and thank you for your continued interest and support. For those who started following my blog later, I thought I would share the entire list in one place for your reference. I would love to hear some feedbacks. For example, you could let me know your favorite articles in the comment section. Thanks.
