Creating New Leaders for the VUCA World Leadership Series FIRESIDE CHAT
Date: Saturday 19th September 2020
Time: 10:30-11:30 am (SGT)
Log-in details:
“Cometh the Hour, Cometh the Man” is a phrase that has evolved over centuries to describe the observation that, often, the right leader emerges from the crowd to suit the challenge at hand.
Yet, clearly, it doesn’t always happen.
So what education, morality, and emotional intelligence give society the best chance to spawn good leaders when they are needed?
This is a Fireside Chat for all existing and potential leaders between
Yen-Lu Chow of Asia Institute of Mentoring, and with
Hugh Mason, Founder of JFDI, the first start-up business in Singapore, as Moderator
We will explore the phenomenal changes that have occurred - even in the last six months - to what is needed in new leadership:
The skills of managing people working from home, often part-time, unsupervised
The pressure exerted by a pandemic raging through the world
Handling slippery supply chains that are whimsically upset by political decisions
Rewarding a workforce getting daily offers of alternative jobs
Making the disciplines of sustainability and diversity coexist with law and order
Educating all employed people in technology, regulatory compliance, compatibility
