“A former President of Myanmar read How to Win Friends and Influence People, called its principles essential life skills, had it translated into the Myanmar language, and made it a required course in high school.” — Wai Phyo, Myanmar Entrepreneur
In our latest Take Command Podcast episode, we sit down with Mr. Wai Phyo—a leader who transformed a family noodle business into a diversified enterprise that once spanned 12 companies in Myanmar, navigating complexity with grit, humility, and a relentless belief in people.
Wai’s journey has it all:
🔥 Taking the reins of his family business at 23 and pushing through real adversity
🔥 Learning that leadership is built through resilience and honesty
🔥 Shifting from ego-driven expansion to strategic, synergistic growth
🔥 Believing that succession is a privilege—not a right
🔥 Grounding culture in trust by treating the workplace as a shared space
Wai sees empathy, respect, and psychological safety as the real drivers of engagement, innovation, and impact.
If you’re leading teams through change—or building one that must thrive in uncertainty—this episode is a masterclass in combining long-term vision with everyday leadership discipline.
Tune in to the Take Command Podcast to learn how leaders can prepare their teams for a future shaped by technology and transformation.
