SMU Mochtar Riady Auditorium

In today's interconnected and fast-paced world, the traditional top-down hierarchical models are no longer as effective as they once were. Instead, leadership in the networked world is characterised by a shift from command and control to collaboration and empowerment.

Rosabeth Moss Kanter, a seasoned expert in organisational management, provided tangible illustrations of how effective leadership strategies can be applied. Having earned an extensive experience working with Fortune 500 companies, she distilled the secrets of success of networked leadership with real-world examples, including IBM, P&G, General Electric, Volvo, Gap Inc, and Honeywell.

A firmly established sense of purpose can drive innovation and foster the expansion of companies.
A robust sense of purpose can aid companies in resolving conflicts and enhancing collaborative efforts more efficiently.
A company's capacity to attract and retain top talent is significantly bolstered by a well-defined sense of purpose.

On the power of true leadership

The big things we don't do alone, the small things we can all do independently. But they're so much better when there's true leadership; leadership that fosters a sense of purpose. The purpose reminds us every day why we're doing this, even when we're down in the weeds, and it's looking pretty grim.
