Lessons we can draw from LKY's recent interview



Min 1:57 LKY said" It was in that milieu that we were thrown into...." In short, never self pity or complain about our circumstance, but work from where we are.

  • Leaders must understand the people, be part of them and....to instinctively know what may go down with the people and what may not (minute 12:20).
  • If we do not institutionalize a system that works and regularly improve on them we may lose what we have done well (minute 20:30).
  • Leaders are bred over time and through rank and file (minute 23:25).
  • A leader may be the head but the vertebrae/spine is equally important to execute policies etc.(minute 33:20-33.54). And to be crude, I have seen leaders with no policies,  vision or mandate.
