“CEE is delighted to partner with the iGroup Asia Pacific in establishing the Disruptive Leadership Institute to meet the organizational and leadership challenges in the ‘new normal’ resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic recovery as well as the ongoing digital transformation which underpins the Fourth Industrial Revolution (Industry 4.0) which ushered in a new business environment which is increasingly uncertain, open and disruptive. Our research has shown that this change has a direct impact on the development of future disruptive leaders of organizations in both public (government) and private sectors and towards ensuring the sustainability of organizations across various industries globally.”
— Prof Sattar Bawany, Author and CEO, Centre for Executive Education
“Disruption has impacted in a significant manner the way the world works, as many of us have experienced today and in recent years. Today’s businesses, government and individuals are responding to shifts that would have seemed unimaginable even a few years ago. Apart from COVID-19, the impact of digital technology on businesses is the other disruptive force that is featured in this book. The explosion of data and unprecedented advances in computer processing power globally have dramatically increased the capacity to support decision making within various functional operations in organizations across industries. Through the partnership with CEE, a thought leadership consulting firm for the disruptive digital economy, IGroup believes that the Disruptive Leadership Institute will be able to support the organizations globally to remain relevant and successful in the era of the Fourth Industrial Revolution (Industry 4.o).
— Pit Teong (Pote) Lee, Founder, iGroup andCEO, iGroup Asia Pacific
The book, ‘Leadership in Disruptive Times’ also examines the fundamental qualities of disruptive leadership that would distinguish successful leaders as they guide their organizations through the disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and the digital transformation at the workplace. It also provides insights into an understanding of disruptive leadership. It explores the transformation of organizations in today’s highly disruptive, increasingly VUCA and the digital-driven era of the Fourth Industrial Revolution (also known as Industry 4.0). The book also examines the fundamental qualities of disruptive leadership that would distinguish successful leaders as they guide their organizations through the disruption caused by the COVID-19 crisis and the digital transformation at the workplace.
One of the most important aspects of this book is going to be “Keeping Up to Date” due to the speed of the disruption the world is currently experiencing.
