The National HR
Agenda aims to help resolve issues that would encompass employment and
management of older workforce; job re-designing and re-engineering;
managing and complementing flexi-work arrangement; restructuring wages
and benefits; facilitating employee engagement/happiness; promoting fair
employment practices and sourcing and managing foreign manpower/talents
and succession planning. It also promotes initiatives and programmes to
transform the mindsets of both the employers and the job
takers.
To facilitate this transformation process, there is a need to equip the
manpower with the necessary self-mastery skills. With this in mind, the
upcoming Priority Conversation will delve into the essentials of
transformational leadership and the components of self-mastery
for employers and employees alike to achieve national objectives.
|
Transformational leadership can
successfully change the present.
Transformational leadership encompasses the critical skills
required to co-create an organisation’s future through shared
vision, ownership, creativity and community which in turn
produce breakthrough performance. Transformational leadership is
required to make the mindset shift to sustainability and
reinvent organisations capable of producing bottom line results
in today’s volatile climate.
|
Leaders transform within before they transform others.
For
transformational leaders, self-mastery extends beyond self to a
commitment to help others walk a path to self-awareness.
Self-mastery includes clarity of purpose, vision, planning,
meditation, reflection and feedback. Transformational leaders
are engaged in the lives of the people in their organisations,
encouraging personal growth, feedback, continuous learning and
mentoring. The most successful transformation initiatives are
fostered by leaders who are committed to their own
self-awareness or personal mastery and to assisting others in
the same process.

Professor Debashis
Chatterjee will explore this topic by covering pertinent issues that
organisations are compelled to address. These issues cover initiatives
and programmes to transform the mindsets of both the employers and the
job takers.

“Chatterjee
will make leaders think more deeply about what it is they
actually do.”

visioning, concentration, and focusing on personal and corporate
change.”

About Priority
Conversations
The
series of Priority Conversations (PCs) is specially organised by SHRI
and WDA, to bring CEOs, HR and business leaders together, to share,
learn and document Human Capital (HC) ideas and challenges.
In our joint efforts to engage the HR community, initiatives such as
the Communities of Practice (CoPs),
HRSINCOM, an online sharing platform
named the SHRI HR Community Portal, (www.hrsincom.org.sg) and the Priority Conversations (PC) are
avenues channelled to review and
uplift human capital
practices standard and professionalism in Singapore.
Priority
Conversations is a dialogue process and platform created to engage in generative
conversations with its stakeholders. Each session comprises three key segments:
-
a thought
leadership component
-
a
facilitated dialogue segment
-
time for
talent networking
Through a facilitation
process, small groups of several like-minded individuals across different
disciplines or from similar disciplines share and learn the different
perspectives of a challenge or idea. In this way, PCs proliferate the operating
environment with a realm of perspectives on the HC-related business challenges
or ideas faced by corporate, business and HC leaders
The first
inaugural PC session organised by SHRI on the 17 November 2006 saw
more
than 110 HR practitioners from over 90 companies. Guest speaker Patrick Forsyth,
author of “Managing in the Discomfort Zone” was invited to speak about facing
unpleasant issues such as dealing with poor or unacceptable behaviour and
performance at work, taking the right action and increasing the results in
managing change and people.
