KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysian companies have the ability to climb up to greater heights should they eradicate arrogance and ignorance in the corporate culture, said talent nurturer Samuel Hungsoo Kim.

In a brief, he described ignorance as “you don’t know what you should know and you don’t know what you don’t know,” noting that arrogance is “when you act like you know it all despite that you don’t know it.”
