Joint Chamber Lunch Seminar "Beyond Conventional Leadership: How do you shape up to lead in Asia?"

The BLCC is honored to co-host another lunch seminar with Dutch Chamber this month, with Mr. Chandran Nair, Founder and CEO of Global Institute For Tomorrow as our guest speaker. Chandran will share his view on unconventional leadership in Asia involving an attitude to challenge the established beliefs, norms and practices. Looking beyond conventional leadership is crucial to reshaping the role of business in society and creating a new prosperity in a supposedly flattened world.

Focus:
•    What are the key leadership skills and attributes needed for managing in a globalized future?  
•    How to deal with different management perceptions and cross-cultural differences in traditional organizational structures?
•    What is the “leadership opportunity”? How can leaders better prepare themselves?
•    How can you gain trust from within your organization and peers, particularly when established beliefs, practices and norms need to be challenged?
