CEOs meet CEOs Luncheon Series 總裁對談系列暨午餐會

Staff Empowerment and Succession Planning - The Tests for Leaders
Speaker: Mr. Shih Wing Ching

Leadership by empowerment is probably the most important aspect for NGO management, as we value the unique contributions that each employee brings to the organizations in our helping profession. Staff empowerment enables employees to make independent autonomous decisions. It gives employees a sense of trust, importance and capability.

For Mr. Shih Wing Ching, Chairman of Centaline, a leader’s job is simply to facilitate employees’ desire to contribute and to guide that energy. He recognizes the value brought to the organization by productive and committed employees. He emphasizes on the importance of regular communication and learning circle among his staff force. As leader, Mr. Shih is very conscious to create a nurturing environment in which staff can learn, grow, improve and function effectively.

Mr. Shih had recently announced his plan for retirement and succession, as well as his involvement in philanthropy after retirement.

During the luncheon, Mr. Shih will share the succession planning in his organisation, which involves training and developing the pool of individual chosen as candidates to move up in the organisation.  By knowing where an individual’s strengths and weaknesses lie, how he or she is likely to net in a new role, and what will motivate this individual, for Mr. Shih, the organisation can make informed decisions with respect to succession planning.

The luncheon is most suitable for CEOs and Board Members from NGOs, who want to nurture staff members’ strengths to deliver the best service, and to promote their personal and professional growth.
