LEADING AND LEARNING
Li believes the key to an effective team starts with
effective leadership. “If there’s anything I’ve learned
over the years, it’s that you are never too old to
learn. Personal development and learning ability are
positively related. I try to manage my team with
professionalism and love, with the intention of doing
everything we can to meet our patients’ needs,”
Li explains. “The best piece of advice I’ve been
given is to focus on the management and integration
of resources to achieve the greatest results.”
“To me, success is contributing to society in terms
of the prevention and treatment of blindness, and
creating opportunities for our employees to come
closer as a team and succeed in their careers. We
ensure the close cooperation of our market and
clinical teams to constantly improve our ability to
meet the needs of our patients. We all work together
in the spirit of responsibility, cooperation, innovation
and dedication to bring vision to all.”“By working closely in partnership with key healthcare leaders around
the region that share a similar vision, such as the AIER group, we are
striving to bring effective treatments to the many patients who need our
help.” – Raj Narayanan, Regional President, AlconAIER Eye Hospital Group ranked
