Description

Former Head of the Singapore Civil Service Mr Lim Siong Guan shares his experiences and insights on leadership in The Leader, The Teacher & You. A former Permanent Secretary in multiple ministries and former chairman of the Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore and the Singapore Economic Development Board, he has contributed to Singapore's development. He is known for pursuing excellence, including leading the Public Service for the 21st Century (PS21) movement to foster organizational excellence. From Singapore's early years of government to its evolution into a prosperous metropolis, Lim has served the nation. In The Leader, The Teacher & You, Lim presents a view of leadership as other-centered, focusing on enabling others to be their best. He builds on his experiences and convictions from serving under Mr Lee Kuan Yew and Dr Goh Keng Swee. The book touches on different types of leadership, such as personal and positional leadership, and encourages leaders to empower their people and strive for excellence. Drawing on his leadership of many organizations, Lim shares core values essential for organizational excellence. The book offers practical guidance for leaders in all walks of life.
