August 2026 Public Lecturers Program: TTC Chairman Shares Insights on Leadership and Corporate Governance
On 4 August 2026, Ton Duc Thang University (TDTU) hosted its Public Lecturers Program, featuring Mr. Dang Van Thanh, Founder and Chairman of TTC Group, who delivered a keynote lecture entitled "Experience in Corporate Governance and Business Management" for lecturers, researchers, and students in the fields of economics and social sciences.
Drawing on decades of experience in building and leading TTC Group, Mr. Dang Van Thanh offered valuable perspectives on the art of corporate governance and business leadership in an increasingly dynamic economic environment. Beyond discussing management strategies, resource optimization, and practical lessons from business administration in Vietnam, he emphasized a leadership philosophy that has guided his career: "Manage with the mind, lead with the heart." According to him, effective leaders must not only possess strategic thinking and decisiveness but also inspire others, build trust, and unlock people's potential to achieve sustainable organizational growth.
Going beyond the scope of a conventional business management lecture, the session encouraged participants to embrace innovation, develop adaptability in the digital era, and recognize the responsibilities of leaders in shaping organizational culture. Mr. Dang Van Thanh's insights into brand building, talent development, and the qualities of successful leaders provided practical lessons while inspiring participants in their academic, research, and professional journeys.
For lecturers and researchers, the program offered valuable real-world perspectives to enrich teaching and research activities. For students—particularly those in economics and social sciences—it provided an opportunity to explore modern management thinking, cultivate entrepreneurial aspirations, strengthen their pioneering spirit, and gain a deeper understanding of the responsibilities of future leaders.
Regularly hosting the Public Lecturers Program with distinguished scholars, industry experts, and business leaders is one of TDTU's key initiatives to bring practical knowledge into the academic environment. Through these activities, the University continues to enhance the quality of teaching and research while strengthening collaboration between academia and industry. The program also reflects TDTU's commitment to fostering an educational environment where academic excellence is closely connected with real-world practice, enabling students to broaden their perspectives, stay abreast of emerging trends, and enhance their global competitiveness in a rapidly evolving economic and technological landscape.
