ABOUT THE SERIES

The MIoD Leadership Series is designed to provide insights, knowledge and thought leadership to enable board directors and senior management to stay abreast of evolving challenges and trends and pursue continual learning to remain effective leaders. 

We are delighted to announce that the fifth instalment of this series will be delivered by the well-known and well-respected Prof. Dr. Aung Tun Thet on the topic of “Servant First” Leader.

 

ABOUT THE SESSION

‘Servant/First’ Leadership is leadership style which is contrary to traditional understanding of leadership. It requires authenticity and humility on the part of leaders. The seminar will address the questions of ‘why’, ‘how’, and ‘what’ of servant leaderships. It will also touch on how business leaders can apply servant leadership principles in the workplace. The 10 Principles of Servant Leadership will be shared as well as the 7 characteristics of servant leaders. It is hoped that the seminar will promote rethinking and refocusing of leadership styles to be in congruence with contemporary times.

ABOUT THE SESSION

Most business and organizations developed mission statements for their institutions. However very few leaders are able to identify their own purpose and more importantly develop action plans to implement it. There is clearly a need to identify the “why?” (Purpose) first, before articulating the “how” (Processes) and the “what” (Actions).

The seminar will focus on ‘Purpose to Impact’ process by presenting a step-by-step framework which can be considered for practical use. It is hoped that business leaders in Myanmar adopt a Purpose-Driven Leadership Style as they navigate and address the challenges, complexities and uncertainties.
