The Baking CEO Author: Kim Young-mo Publisher: Kim Youngsa Release Date: September 5, 2005 View Review I recently read *The Baking CEO*, which I bought at Kyobo Bookstore.

[Table of Contents] It covers everything from how he started baking to his love, philosophy, and passion for bread. [Master Kim Young-mo and His Wife] Good management, delicious success. This book
Not long ago, as I passed by the neighborhood where I lived during my middle school years, I let out a quiet exclamation of surprise and delight. It was the sight of a bakery still standing exactly as it was in my memory—with the same name and appearance. Seeing it steadfastly holding its ground, despite the countless threats it must have faced from large chain bakeries over the years, gave me the feeling that I was with someone who cherishes and hasn't forgotten my past (even though I rarely
The days when Kim Young-mo Bakery was growing. My stormy adolescence as a student flowed along with it. This is an autobiography I simply want to tell you that if someone living in Gangnam were to make a fuss next to me about how famous the bread is, I would just smile coolly and nonchalantly and say, "It's just a neighborhood bakery, so what?" Actually, it came out quite a while ago, but the reason I hadn't picked it up before was that it felt like reading someone else's diary. In that sense,
The name Kim Young-mo is already familiar to anyone who loves baking. Success achieved through a single loaf of bread, conviction, and passion. Successful people do not possess a secret formula of their own; the common thread among successful individuals is that they love their work, possess passion, and maintain a consistent positive mindset. Yet, people often fail to uphold even these simple qualities. Is it because we are complex organisms called humans? I assumed Kim Young-mo was a
How many people are there who can make their work their lifelong profession and work with a goal in mind for a long time? In this book, written by Kim Young-mo—who transformed a 6-pyeong bakery in Seocho-dong into the most famous bakery not only in Seocho-gu but in the entire country under the goal of becoming "the best bread maker"—he shares with us the secret to his rise to the top in another aspect of his life. Bread, which helped him overcome the wounds, hunger, and wandering of his
I want to meet a man like Kim Young-mo. It’s not that I’m saying this just to get a free bread because I’m a bread lover; I mean, I want to meet a man who possesses dreams, passion, and vision. I’m not talking about the current Kim Young-mo who owns a home in Tower Palace and generates hundreds of millions in revenue. I mean a man like the young Kim Young-mo—who had no money, no parents or siblings, and suffered from tuberculosis, but who possessed dreams, vision, and hard work. If he comes
Neither education nor background stands in the face of passion. If there is a constant that is never missing from the equation of successful people, it is passion. The protagonist of this book, Kim Young-mo, is a former assistant at a local bakery who dropped out of high school, let alone college. Yet, he is now the CEO of "Kim Young-mo Bakery," a place envied by everyone (to use a worldly expression) and the most preferred establishment among the notoriously picky residents of Tower Palace.
"For a craftsman, success follows only when they do their utmost solely to create good products." Think of values more important than money or growth. "You must not stagnate. You must not be stagnant. While stubbornly holding firm to principles and authenticity, you must embrace the new and evolve." "A craftsman is someone who knows how to express everything in their mind with their hands." "Do not lose the original meaning." These are excerpts from *The Baking CEO*.
This is a book I read thanks to a recommendation. I had previously seen "Kim Young-mo Bakery" while passing by in Dogok and heard rumors that the bread there was delicious. It was in this context that I came across this book. It is a book where you can deeply feel Mr. Kim Young-mo's craftsmanship. His unwavering obsession with bread is naturally conveyed to the reader. He grew up in an unfortunate family entangled in a complicated family history. Abandoned by his biological parents early on
When I first saw the title, I thought, "Why write a book on management when you should just bake bread?!" Then, knowing someone I knew was a baker, I bought the book along with a book by Jack Welch, thinking I would just read it and give it to them. However, the moment I held the book, I realized that Kim Young-mo was completely different from those who are only interested in money and trying to make a profit from books. He treats his employees like family, is meticulous about ingredients and
