Most of ex-military personnel in other countries will end up in Security Industry.

In Most Countries, General will always work till they retired at 60+

Ours were general at a very young age and on an express promotion scheme. also retired way before 60. So, our generals were of a different class. Haha

Other than Navy & AF, the rest of the General could be technically incompetence.

But then still when answer questions in press conference. He still need to project the image of forward looking/thinking even if he knew that is no other way or what. 

 

He is darn lucky he is in sph CEO which is a very safe place to be in. The way he replied in press conference really cannot make it, plus he actually hardly answer to any of the questions, majority of the questions are all answered by chairman. It's like the position is swapped sph CEO as chairman and the chairman as sph CEO, wtf man. The chairman is can say 100 times better then him, just by the way chairman replied and his composure. Gg man sph CEO. 

It's being presented as a fair accompli. Give you secondary choices for what? Then you will start to question my decision and compare between the two.

There's only one right answer and that's my answer.

Alamak, how can you say that? All our generals are scholars leh. How can be technically incompetence? They are just not combat ready and lack EQ. So if remain in the military cannot contribute during war. To jump into corporate world, they get umbrage by public easily lah

Think the word is at least pretend to have.

Confidence is the keyword. Without confidence in CEO. How can the company able to operate well?

Upon seeing the SPH share price dropped by 15% following the announcement, investors can only um-dui for placing their bet on the wrong horse.

Our general good at privatize everything so they gain more corporate experience and ease the jump over to GLC

Only slight problem is now so many things privatize prolly cannot function in actual wartime when all those SFI, ST staff that feed our troops and service the vehicles recall to unit to become infantryman... but small detail hor

 

To me as a layman, I see these 'privatisation' as a quick way of 'farming out' responsibilities. So, now it is private, you just point fingers. Those taken over the privatised company suddenly become millionaire and high paying CEO. Then the privatised company try to 'farm out non essential services. Again no need to be responsible. Cannot make it, ask for funding. So, all these 'farming out' suddenly solve all the problems har? Who are paying for the services they they want leh?

For me a CEO answer questions in a very clever way is not important lah.

All I want is a CEO make the share price go high high and I get good dividends.

That's just me. Other people may disagree and I respect your views.

If someone ever takes umbrage on your legitimate question and made you check dictionary for the meaning, that person must be quite a nincompoop.

When they covert generals to CEO

they need to send them for retraining.

This is the best management book I ever read

and I read so many books on management from Henri Fayol 14 management principles to Peter Drucker.

This book taught me so much more and its so much more useful too.

Jamesc, while the above book is great for an easy read, the right book that address this "umbrage" case is the groundbreaking work (and book)  by Daniel Goleman on Emotional Intelligence and his 6 leadership-style framework.

Interestingly, in another Goleman book, "Primal Leadership" right at the start of its first chapter, there is a case study of BBC closing down its media division and how the executive who was sent to relay the bad news to its 200 journalist made a mess out of that communication. It ended up with more outrage and hostility because it was communicated with a lack of EQ.

What an uncanny similarity.
