The search for Great Talents especially to lead a company like a GLC or MNC or PLC is so critical and important because we want to ensure the company can survive and continue make profits and satisfy the shareholders.
MAS is now in search of a new CEO because the former CEO have been transfered to Khazanah Nasional Berhad to a more or less comfortable job and maybe a still good paying salary and perks (luckily not fired and become jobless if Leaders like Jack Welch is around managing!)
Great Talents for Malaysia is also been assigned to Malaysia’s Talent Corporation whose sole aim is to import Malaysians back home to work in Malaysian soil and help Malaysia achieve her ambition of a High Income Economy as spelt out in the ETP especially and also in our Vision 2020.Talent Corp need to bring in about 70,000 Professionals but surprisingly to fill the vacant post of one MAS CEO is still not accomplish that soon or in due speed!Why?
Malaysians who are now working overseas are paid in the currency of that particular country and like a doctor in UK maybe he or she is paid GBP 5,000 (equal about RM 25,000) and the same in USA is paid about USD 5,000 (equal about RM 15,000).So why come back to Malaysia when you are paid RM5,000 or maybe double RM10,000 when you can easily earn RM25,000 or maybe more overseas!
The other great factor of performance is maybe the background of the incumbent CEO?Most CEOs in Malaysia now have accounting background and as Accountants maybe they are best to know the ins and outs of the company financial health or status.This may help them to manage their companies with great care for bottomline results ie Profits not Losses!
However in leading a company or govt agency got a lot to do about LEADERSHIP.Do these CEOs have great leadership qualities and know how best to manage their people as well as their customers?
CEOs like Jack Welch for example knows what it needs to lead his TEAM to Excellence (No.1 or No.2 in the industry is OK with Jack but No.3 or others is Not Good)
Jack Welch have great business vision for GE and he also emphasise the building of Talents by his Executive College as well as being a Coach to some of his selected CEOs (kind of a Mentor-Mentee approach)
Konosuke Matsushita -The Founder of Panasonic also was a Great Business Leader who lead by example and build his business by his hard work,sweat and innovation.He dont wait for projects from Govt Officials nor play the game of ampu bude or worst still bribing and back stabbing.
Business Leaders of the Greatest Kind are those who lead their companies with their hearts and souls and treat their staff as their Team of Great Talents and will always lead by example and knows what’s is best to do and take actions to solve problems and make great profits.Most of them knows best how to utilise and unleash their people’s talents to infinite possibilities and capabilities.People are their dearest asset!
Tun Dr.Mahathir Mohamad is a doctor by profession but with his passion,zest and political smartness,Tun Dr.Mahathir have led Malaysia for 21 years in his “My Way” styles and also successfully made lots of progress and landmark projects for Malaysia to be proud of like the building of capable CEOs to lead their companies as well as projects like Putrajaya,KLIA,PLUS Highways,Petronas Twin Towers,Vision 2020,Look East Policy and many others which some opponents may support and disagree with Tun Dr.Mahathir.Like what Tun Dr.M once said “well,you win some and lose some..haha”
MAS is now without a CEO and whose best to take over?An accountant or a doctor or who?Tan Sri Tony Fernandes is an ex-Entertianment Top Manager and he saw the great opportunity to build an airline like AirAsia to become one of the World’s Best Low Cost Carrier just like what Richard Brenson did initially with his Virgin Airlines…..Now,Tan Sri Tony and his business partner was offered almost 20% of MAS in a share swap deal with Khazanah Nasional Berhad and maybe MAS can become successful and profitable as Air Asia now (as what those Top Mgmt at Khazanah Nasional thinks lah..lets see this 3 mths or 1 year ahead..whats the outcome!)
