Self-leadership key to SL's recovery

HR EXPERT ANDREW BRYANT SAYS SL NEEDS TO ADOPT A FORWARD-THINKING LEADERSHIP APPROACH INSPIRED BY THE SUCCESSES OF DUBAI AND SINGAPORE STRESSES NEED FOR CLOSER COLLABORATION BETWEEN GOVERNMENT, BUSINESS, AND EDUCATION SECTORS

- 

As Sri Lanka stands at a pivotal crossroads as it seeks to rebuild following its worst economic crisis, the island nation needs to adopt a forward-thinking leadership approach inspired by the successes of Dubai and Singapore," an HR expert said.

International key note speaker Andrew Bryant emphasised the importance of “self leadership” as a crucial skill set for Sri Lanka's next phase of growth.

"Singapore went from a third world country to a first world country. Sri Lanka has a colonial past and that creates a mindset of subservience," Bryant said while addressing National HR Conference 2025 organised by the Chartered Institute of Personnel Management (CIPM) Sri Lanka yesterday.
