Final Briefing for Students before Residential Stay

Key Events (Past 4 days)

Key note speakers – Gerard Ee and Aaron Maniam

World Café with Jonathan MarshallHome Team Academy VisitDialogue in the DarkPanel Discussion (Leaders in Society)Dinner with IRO Leaders

Key Note Speakers(Gerard Ee and Aaron Maniam)

Current challenges in SingaporeFuture challenges for Singapore (2030)

Food for thought? Think of some countries who have had they

heydays. Where are they today? (e.g. Burma, Sri Lanka) What has happened to them? How did leadership play a part in this?

Hint: read key address by Gerard Ee and Aaron Maniam for more information (Find them on Facebook!)

Key Note Speakers(World Café by Jonathan Marshall)Different generations of leadership/leadership

styles So what sort of leadership do we need for the

future generation? What kind of leadership qualities do these

leaders need to possess?Are our current systems producing the right

type of qualities in our leaders for the future?If no, what can we do to bridge this gap?

Site Visit(Home Team Academy)

Can everyone really be a leader? Situational leadership? Remember the Geese

(Hint: Check your FB wall for the video)Bottom up leadership – is it truly effective all

the time? (e.g compare the context – governing a

nation vs managing an organization? )

DID - Some food for thoughtWhat are the qualities good leaders should possess and

what is required for leaders in 2030?What happens when the scenario becomes something

which we are foreign to? (Such as total darkness where we need to be guided by the visually challenged?)

Do we have mechanisms that can produce alternative types of leaderships if our landscape changes drastically? (Total destruction of the environment or collapse of economy?)

If the scenario of the world changes, are we willing to accept people whom we perceive as our “inferiors” to lead us?

Panel Discussion - Leaders in SocietySituational leadership? Think Jane Lee! Qualities / Values of a leader - Are these values

identical to those you found in the World café session? If no, how are these qualities different? Are they equally important?

Leadership through the generations – think Eunice Tay, Tan Kin Lian vs. Lionel Yeo and Jane Lee

Should leadership styles to be applied to people as a generation or individuals? Think Lionel Yeo vs. Jane Lee.

How can we circumvent the problem of generation differences and come up with common values?

Dinner with the IRO MembersCo-relation between Religious harmony and economic

development? Role of leaders to bring this about.E.g. Nigeria – rich in natural resources but not as successful

as Singapore (no natural oil resources) Why is this so?

Understanding your own religion to understand others (Mr Harbans Singh, Rev. Lam and Ustaz Shaik Hussain) How relevant is this when it comes to leading people?

Ven. Gunaratana’s example of Sri Lanka (Tamils vs. Sinhalese) What were the leaders of the country trying to do there?

Sister Theresa – first woman president of IRO (what qualities did she need to do her job?)

Rev. Master Lee and Master Tan – talked about Man’s ability to bring about both good and destruction. Can you think of a real life example where a leader who tried to do good ended up doing more harm?

In specific…Focus Areas for Leaders Subtheme for PF2010:

New Leadership  By 2030, what would be some of the local and global challenges faced by

Singapore?  How do you propose to tackle these challenges? What more needs to be done so that the youth of today will have what it

takes to face these challenges head on in 2030?

Engaging the People  Who are the “people” of Singapore in 2030? Which leaders do you think would have a greater influence on the people

and why? What key principles do future leaders need to bear in mind to ensure a

peaceful and prosperous Singapore in 2030?

Managing Unity in Diversity  With the increasing mix of cultures, races, religions and languages

in Singapore, how can the government ensure that all segments of society will still have a ‘voice’ in 2030?

Are there any segments of society being marginalized in today’s society? Discuss why this is dangerous and ways in which they can be made to feel a part of society.

In short…Gain insight into qualities good leaders

should posses; what is required for a leader in 2030.

 Dissect if the present system in Singapore will be able to continue producing good leaders for the future.

Identify gaps in the present system in Singapore which need to be addressed to produce good leaders for the future.
