Leadership Ego
To achieve great things, ego management is critical. A leader needs to be able to learn from others, even if he/she is the top person in the organisation. From experience, Tony knows a lot of corporate leaders tend to be arrogant. People who start off small & humble, for instance, change suddenly when they are given a title like Datuk. It is the beginning of the end for anyone who starts believing in his/her own greatness.

There is a fine line between managing the ego & having no ego. You've got to have an ego. If you don't have ego, you won't be successful but you need to know how to manage that ego.

SG's hybrid regime started off as humble. They're now 49 years in power since independence & humbleness totally evaporated. It is the beginning of the end for Singapore when the hybrid regime starts believing in its greatness.

Not to mention the Old Man refusing to leave & publishing book after book after book of his greatness.

On Ivory Tower Leaders

A leader cannot know what's going on if you're only in the office. When AirAsia was operating the 737, the way to load bags into the plane was pretty straightforward. However, the Airbus had a different structure that caused difficulty to load the bags manually. When Tony was told that belt loaders cost almost RM5 million, he immediately rejected the idea, thinking that it was only natural. It was only when he took the initiative to go down to the ground & manually loaded the luggage onto the Airbus that he sanctioned the purchase of the belt loaders. Otherwise, he wouldn't have realised the magnitude of the problem.

Much of the problems plaguing SG are due to political leaders in their ivory towers. News are brought to them by 'Yesmen'.
