Platform to share leadership realities
27 May 2011

Kuala Lumpur | The ICLIF Leadership and Governance Centre (ICLIF) launched on 23 May 2011 Leading Voices, a new global thought leadership platform whose aaim is to expose experts, leaders and top executives to ICLIF's original research and world-class published thinking.

The inaugural session of Leading Voices was hosted by Bank Negara's Governor and ICLIF's chairman, Tan Sri Dato' Sri Dr Zeti Akhtar Aziz, who also delivered the keynote address. Air Asia's Group CEO Dato Sri Dr Tony Fernandes was also a key speaker, who shared his practical insights on business during this session.

The fully-booked event was held at the Shangri-la Hotel Kuala Lumpur and was attended by more than 400 business leaders, entrepreneurs and government officials.

Leading Voices is the latest initiative of ICLIF's, which encompasses published research and thinking, customised seminars, open forums, regional and global summits, broadcast media events, digital content, and an online community. This year, ICLIF is embarking on an ambitious plan to bring Leading Voices to several markets including India, the Middle East, Indonesia, Singapore and China and has already laid out a series of talks and leadership development presentations.

The inaugural session was also the launchpad for Too Many Bosses, Too Few Leaders - the most recent internationally published book from an ICLIF faculty, written by their CEO, Rajeev Peshawaria, published by Schuster and Schuster. Part playbook and part an experienced guide through the world of leadership, the book outlines the process to unlock the leadership potential inside those who not only lead companies but run divisions, head up teams and work in leading roles across their companies every day.

Speaking on Leading Voices, Peshawari said, "Unlike typical leadership forums, Leading Voices harnesses ICLIF's proprietary research to inspire a community of diverse leaders from around the world to come together - physically and virtually - to exchange action-based thinking and learn how to lead real transformation and affect sustainable growth in their own organisations".
