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 first instalment of this series will be delivered by the well-known and well-respected Prof. Dr. Aung Tun Thet on the topic of “Organization Leadership Culture”.
Organizational culture and leadership are closely tied and influence each other. Cultivating effective organizational culture is vital because it helps align teams and support a company’s unique business strategy. Leaders create collaborative organizational culture that favours candid conversations, active listening, and constructive feedback.
To transform company culture, it’s important to define a clear landscape for success; use connected, aligned leadership; and transition to strong, sustainable culture.

It is well-recognized globally, and in Asia, that engaged employees drive business results. So much so that there is agreement among top executives and consultants alike that measuring employee engagement is a must-do in the best of times. We will explore how listening to your employees can benefit companies, management, and employees, especially when the going gets tough. And we ask ourselves: What role should independent directors play?
Ferdinand de Bakker, a council member at the Singapore Institute of Directors and an adjunct lecturer at Nanyang Technological University Singapore, and Marieke van Raaij, Regional Employee Engagement Solutions Leader Asia, Pacific, IMETA, LATAM at the HR consulting firm Mercer, will share the results of a global qualitative study as well as local research studies, and their conclusions and recommendations.
