A new wave of young talent is emerging in China's corporate world, leading the direction for the country's future growth.

 

These young leaders, in their 20s and 30s, are now reaching junior management levels in their companies, and are starting to have influence in their firms' decision-making. Their creativity and concern for sustainability are driving China's growth.

 

Cleo Ren, 31, a communications officer with the Dutch material science company DSM, is one such young leader with independent and creative ideas.

 

This year she helped her team organize five-kilometer charity walks in Shanghai Botanical Garden and Tongxiang Botanical Garden, in Tongxiang, Zhejiang province, to raise money for the World Food Program and help pay for 500 meals for poor children in less developed areas in China.

 

"We sent out e-mails to encourage our colleagues to take part in the program," Ren says. "And we also went to the parks and spoke to people to let them know about the event."

 

Leadership is about sharing thoughts with and inspiring others, Ren says. In this respect, she feels her line manager is a role model for her.
