Leadership Gaps in Singapore

I recently read an article in Human Capital, the magazine published by the Singapore Human Resource Institute.  It focused on research conducted in the U.S., India and Singapore by the Center for Creative Leadership.  They looked at the skills and competencies of 2,000 leaders in the private and public sector and reached some conclusions, which were not a surprise to me.

In my coaching practise I frequently see the skill gaps mentioned in the report.  I encounter some leaders who still subscribe to the ‘flogging will continue until morale improves’ style of leadership.  That may have worked in bygone days but the world has changed and leadership competences in Asia need to keep up with the rest of the world, especially when dealing with an increasingly multi-cultural workforce.

For those who missed the article in Human Capital, I have provided a PDF copy, via the link below.  Take a look at the article and see if the gaps mentioned can be seen in your organisation. If you want to know how those gaps can be closed, call me on +65 9677 8043.
