In my life I have lived in Singapore and Johore Bahru (Malaysia), so saw first-hand the transformation of that region following independence from Britain.
The prosperity of Singapore has many parents. If it came down to one person, however, that person was undoubtedly Lee Kwan Yew (1923 – 2015).
In this filmed interview, Lee discussed leadership. It is a fascinating conversation that is worth watching in full. While some of Lee’s the principles could be summarised, many of the lessons and insights you get come from listening to Lee tell the story.
I hope you enjoy it.
