“The business landscape is changing rapidly due to technological changes. This
means that leaders of the future have
to be able to take a 50,000 feet view
to understand what’s happening in the

“As a leader I tell my heads this: if you
see your people growing out of their
jobs, you must allow them to flee the
nest. You must allow your people to
eventually grow out of your organisation.”
Mr. Suresh Thirugnanam | COO,
Jobstreet.com
“You can’t wait for a crisis to decide
you want a leadership team in place to
tackle that crisis...Realistically, you need
to have great leadership all the time and
you need to build a supporting culture. If
you can’t, then you need to start changing today.”
Ms. Rahima Ibrahim | Senior Vice
President & Head of Human
Resource, Siemens Malaysia
“Change management is one of the most
important capabilities all managers and
leaders need to have. Change management prepares them (to deal with crises).
The most important part of change management is really managing people and
their emotions.”
