Seminar Introduction

For the immediate future, business leaders will have to master the disciplines of uncertainty.

Looking at today’s news on challenges to the corporate world, it would be fair to say that in the next 50 years; only 15 of the best 25 companies will still be around. What then are the real challenges of the 21st century economy?

The news today is not very good. Every time we think we are on the upside of the downturn, we get thrown for another loop, hit with another crisis, told it will be just a few more months before all this turns around.

It’s times like these when tremendous competitive success can be achieved. It’s times like these where companies can shift positions in the marketplace. It’s times like these when leaders can become followers, and followers can become leaders, because we are in a period where everything is now going to open and unfreeze. The cheap are getting better, the better are getting cheaper. Cheaper, better and faster is the new normal.

Good service is not enough. Shoot for customer satisfaction. A constant drive to improve.

The worst mistake in strategy is to compete with your competitors on the same thing. You want to find a different kind of value that you can deliver to a different set of customers. Strategy is fundamentally about how you’re going to deliver unique value.

Leadership is about influencing and character. The key to successful leadership today is influence, not authority. Leadership is a combination of strategy and character. If you must be without one, be without the strategy. Leaders must be able to think and do.

The road to servant leadership lies not in trying to fix or change others but in working on changing and improving ourselves. ‘Everyone wants to change the world, but no one wants to change himself.’

To cope with change, the leader must be:

Passionately believe that they can make a difference. They envision the future, creating an ideal and unique image of what the organization can become.
Search for opportunities to change the status quo. They look for innovative ways to improve the organization. In doing so, they experiment and take risks.
Foster collaboration and build spirited teams. They actively involve others.
If you look at the Gandhis or the Mandelas and the Mother Teresas, they exhibit a form of leadership that is very appealing, which is to put the interest of others ahead of themselves.

Dalai Lama, who said once, “If you seek enlightenment for yourself just to enhance yourself, you missed the purpose. If you seek enlightenment for yourself by helping others, you are with purpose.” That’s the style of leadership that we increasingly need in today’s world.

If formulating or implementing organization plans is an important part of your responsibilities, this one-day intensive training course is for you. It is specially designed to assist you in developing and implementing the strategic plan which leads to growth and profits for your company.

Testimonials

To listen and interact with a true, down-to-earth, "battle-field" experienced entrepreneur is definitely much much more valuable than listening to the various gurus who do not have the "live" experience to struggle in real business world. Daniel Tsi, Cerebos


Your journey and information provided to us is an eye opening experience for me. I appreciate very much. I already ordered those books on your handout. My daughter is also reading it. CS Chen, MD.,Ph.D. Associate Professor, NUS


Simple but a lot of valuable truths that can be applied. Choe Peng Sum, Chief Executive Officer, FRASERS HOSPITALITY PTE LTD


Attending this seminar, is a big opportunity for me... I was able to sit around those successful entrepreneurs around the world! Mr. David Wee is a kind of speaker who is knowledgeable of LEADERSHIP... During his seminar he set himself examples and picture out the ideas in the participants' thought, thus, making them ALIVE. Whereby there isn't just a learning process present but ACTION as well... He doesn't make you feel like a mediocre around the class. Everyone is an achiever and a leader. And it brings out the truest desire in you to lead. I enjoyed the most when he did icebreakers and class interactions, I was able to see the unnoticeable mistakes usually management people refuse to see... He will make you realize that in order to stand out from the fast changing world of entrepreneurial market you need to innovate the leader that is inside you.... Thanks a lot for this opportunity!!!

David Wee. A leader that is inside you. Clairevee Aya Gamboa, Assistant Manager, Shima Restaurant Pte Ltd


“I am a believer of luck. The harder you work, the more luck you have. I think David Wee is a believer of luck too, because he works very hard.” Roger Koh, Chief Executive Officer, Chen Fu Ji International F&B Group


David Wee was a trainer / consultant for our company's Leadership Program in November 2007. He conducts himself professionally, his material is exciting and was able to stimulate excitement for the participants. If the opportunity arises, I would like to attend more of David's training. Alvin Chua, YKK Holding Asia Pte Ltd, Asst HR Manager (Regional)


"I find that David is a sincere and humorous speaker who is able to relate his experiences to the audience and personally, I find that the seminar opens up my thinking space." Ng Chor Hoon, Manager, Operations Control, Merrill Lynch International Bank Ltd


David spoke with passion. David is a great believer of servant leadership in people. Angela Wong, Office of Executive Education, Singapore Management University


David have come across to me as a resourceful, helpful and a very highly motivated person. Basically, anyone who knows him is always motivated by you in many other ways. Amy Lim, Secretary to John Cheston, CEO - Robinsons & CO


David’s workshop reinforced my motivation and stressed the urgency for me to work out something soon. I found it to be quite interesting, especially on Creativity and 'How to do things differently', with many practical real-life examples. Kritaphol Limpipholphaiboon, Senior Exhibitions Manager, Thailand Convention & Exhibition Bureau (TCEB)


For big corporations it is often easier to make progress in marketing than for SME's. SME's have far lesser room to experiment and to learn from mistakes. The ASB hosts professionals that have made these mistakes already in Asia - although that may not be the first thing they'll tell. If you're looking for inspiration or consultancy, it's often tough to find the one company that understands your business and your issues. The variety of expertise’s and backgrounds represented by the ASB can make it easier for you to meet and select without any attachments. Erik van Vulpen, Brand Director Cheil/Samsung


I want to let you know how much we appreciated your sharing. Despite your mentioning you came with a heavy heart and was troubled over something, it did not show at all in your presentation - a testimony of your professionalism and dedication! On the presentation, I personally found it timely and useful as we sometimes forget that we are meant to serve as leaders, due to the fast changing and demanding expectations within the work place and even in our private lives. Your delivery was simple yet effective and as participant/trainers, this was what engaged us. Angela Chew, Senior Executive, National Healthcare Group
