Mind Reading


The Heart-to-Heart Talk Series of the Faculty of Business Administration was launched in 2007 to cultivate leadership among its students. Top government officials and elite business leaders were invited to share their insight. To date, over 20 talks have been held to resounding success. It is a fitting tribute to this sustained effort that many of these talks are now printed in two elegant volumes:《成功領袖：心連心對話1》; Beacon in the Mist: Heart-to-Heart Talks 2.


A glance at the content pages of these books is a brief tour of who’s who of local business leaders and captains of industry. Other eminent figures in the community such as Mr. Dick Lee, former Police Commissioner, and Prof. Joseph J.Y. Sung, Vice-Chancellor of CUHK, are also featured.


The chapters capture and recapitulate the essences of the presentations and sharing of the speakers on various topics such as their management philosophies and leadership styles and on personal growth and life planning. Each talk is followed by extracts of student feedback and reflection, thereby completing the loop that links the hearts and minds of those doing the mentoring and those receiving it.


As the editors, Prof. Dennis K.K. Fan and Prof. Andrew C.F. Chan, said, the book ‘will be useful in assisting readers to reach higher levels of achievement. We also hope that it will serve as a roadmap to provide guidance for our readers in overcoming the challenges ahead.’
