Advantek’s ongoing Leadership Development Program reflects our ‘One Company, One Team’ belief – empowering locations to develop and strengthen capabilities within a global framework.

The most recent sessions in Taiwan and Shanghai reinforced key leadership principles and provided hands-on training to enhance management capabilities.

In Taiwan, a three-day course brought together supervisors, front-line leaders, and high-potential employees to sharpen essential leadership skills. The sessions emphasized teamwork, collaboration, and structured management, equipping participants with practical tools to navigate daily leadership challenges.

Interactive exercises encouraged reflection on how leadership extends beyond task delegation to guiding teams toward shared goals.

At Advantek Shanghai, a refresher course focused on strengthening leadership fundamentals for managers and HR professionals. A key exercise challenged participants to convey instructions without visual aids, underscoring the importance of clear communication in effective leadership.

The session highlighted three core leadership skills:

• Clear Communication – Ensuring accuracy to prevent misunderstandings
• Teamwork – Navigating time-sensitive, role-specific collaboration
• Leadership Alignment – Providing direction and empowering team members

These programs are part of Advantek’s continuous investment in leadership development, ensuring that teams communicate, collaborate, and lead effectively to drive the company’s success.

Helen Mangente, Advantek’s Global Compliance Director, recently spoke to STEM students at Sto. Tomas Senior High in Batangas, Philippines, sharing insights on environmental sustainability.

She covered an evolution of environmental challenges, from ozone depletion to managing greenhouse gasses and climate change. Frameworks like ISO 14001 and ISO 10064, as well as international protocols were highlighted – with a focus on effective monitoring, evaluation, and transparency being key factors to meaningful improvement.

The discussion gave students a deeper understanding of how businesses can balance social responsibility, environmental stewardship, and economic viability.
