NO MATTER how well trained you are as a leader, something like COVID-19 will knock you off your game.
So, you can bet that the next round of leadership discussions and trainings will have a sizable chapter(s) on how to cope with pandemics, diseases, or sudden cessation of activity on a regional or global level.
How do you train leaders for what’s ahead when you don’t have a clear picture of what’s waiting for you?
Experience helps, maybe not directly, but it could offer insights from past experiences of strategies and reactions that could help to reduce the impact of a disruption.
Having a network of peers would also serve a leader well. And discussing issues, as this WED WEB CHAT series does, could also help you pick up fresh ideas across different industries.

This week’s WED WEB CHAT discussion, Preparing Leaders For A Competitive Future gathers a varied group of experienced leaders from different industries and organisations.
Paul Harris, Asia Pacific Regional Director, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars
Paul Harris brings over 30 years of experience from within the BMW Group, holding significant roles, including sales, marketing and financial services, in the United Kingdom and continental Europe. Prior to his appointment at Rolls-Royce, he undertook a General Manager role in Northern Europe, an area that included Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Finland and the Baltic States.
Paul leads the business from the company’s Asia Pacific regional office in Singapore covering the region outside of Greater China.
The long-established Rolls-Royce brand continues to set the standard regardless of the challenging times. What is its secret? Is it in the brand’s DNA or is the leadership renewal process key to the brand’s well-respected position?
Brian Riady, Deputy CEO & Executive Director, OUE Ltd
Brian Riady was appointed as the Deputy CEO and Executive Director of OUE Limited this year.
He assists the Executive Chairman and Group CEO in overseeing all business operations of the Group, and sets and executes its strategic direction.
Brian is presently a non-independent non-executive director of OUE Commercial REIT Management Pte. Ltd., the manager of OUE Commercial Real Estate Investment Trust.
Before joining OUE, he was at Lippo Group Indonesia, where he developed over 150 F&B and entertainment outlets and expanded the business into over 30 cities across the country. Brian was an analyst at Credit Suisse’s Real Estate, Gaming and Lodging investment banking group prior to that.
As a young leader, Brian will have to envision how an established business will navigate a challenging environment, but could use his youth to his advantage as he appeals to his generation as they step up as key consumers.
