When she joined ZEISS, it was Yibing’s dream to create something visionary in her job, something meaningful that would change peoples’ lives. There’s no doubt she’s smart enough to do this. She was an excellent student at university, and in her first job at ZEISS, as an application engineer, she did outstandingly well in developing 3D and automation products with ultra-high-resolution, confocal lens scanning. However, she soon realized it is not enough to improve in only one field if you want to change the world, as she did. She knew she had to overcome a much bigger challenge: that is, she had to learn to see the bigger picture, to see patterns instead of pieces. She had to develop from a specialist with some general knowledge to a seasoned generalist with some specialist knowledge. So she accepted the challenge.
