OVERVIEW
There is amazing untapped power in and around our organizations: the power that comes from people working together to accomplish inspired set objectives. The power is in the employees, the power is in the shareholders, the power is in the customers and the public. A leader who cannot tap the power will experience the corresponding frustration that comes from being part of, or leading, an organization that is not reaching that potential. The power of the people within and without the organization holds the future of the organization. A successful leader is the one who has identified this power and learned how to leverage on it. A leader whose actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more as John Quincy Adams put it.
Today’s global, linked world requires senior leaders who are uniquely alert to the economic currents and market movements that could advance—or undermine—their firm’s long-term viability. As a top executive, you establish your legacy by laying out your company’s future, outlining its strategy, and nurturing a culture founded on clear objectives and a common mission. Organizations face different sets of social, economic, and political variables that present unique challenges to business as well as fascinating potential. To achieve a competitive advantage, organizations require exceptional, confident leaders who understand what it takes to conduct business in today’s digital age.
Gaining proficiency in creating and implementing winning strategies, providing creative solutions, developing high-achieving teams, and managing swift changes will prepare you to support your organization’s expansion into dynamic markets. In light of this, ICPAK will hold a one-week Executive Seminar in Singapore themed: People Centric Leadership, with an aim of bringing together senior corporate and public sector executives and upcoming leaders for a forthright discussion on matters touching on effective executive leadership. The seminar discussions will focus on:
