(What LEADERS do to remain relevant and competitive?)
Where: Shangri-La Hotel - 22 Orange Grove Road, Singapore
When: Sat, 17 Jul 2010 - 9am to 12.30am. Registration, welcome drink and networking starts at 8.30am!
If you think only artists need to be creative, think again. Creativity is just as crucial to the modern executive and professional as they seek better solutions to the complex business challenges of today’s globalised and high competitive marketplace.
The crux of the organisation dilemma is that while there is a need for increasing productivity, employees are potentially growing de-motivated, disengaged and un-committed. This is because there is no guarantee that their livelihoods are assured, and they fear the worst for their jobs.
The truth is that no one factor makes a company admirable. But if you were forced to pick the one that makes the most difference, you'd pick leadership.
Good leadership is good leadership, regardless of the economic climate. However, during difficult times, top-notch leadership skills become even more important. Second-rate leaders might be able to keep a company going in a strong economy, but you need high-performing leaders to succeed in tough times.
Of course, you need leaders who can control costs and conserve cash. However you also need leaders who see opportunity - and who will strive to seize that opportunity - despite all the negativity. You need leaders who remain committed to their people. And you need leaders who can transfer their own positive outlook to the people around them.
