About Temasek LEADership Programme 

Temasek LEAD aims to develop LEAD students into future leaders with VISION, CHARACTER and HEART. Our unique approach is crafted to stretch the potential of our high-performing students. Students can expect to embark on an exciting journey of self-discovery and holistic development to attain the following four key areas of leadership:

 

1. Personal Leadership

 

LEAD students will be developed to become effective leaders by raising their self-awareness, helping them understand their leadership profile and providing them with opportunities to lead from their strengths. Students will be provided opportunities to learn essential skills such as effective communication, planning and organising, problem solving, decision making and situational adaptability.

LEAD students will be offered practice and experiential platforms to lead in challenging situations. They will acquire skills to organise teams, strengthen their awareness of teamwork and group dynamics, develop team resilience, conflict management and negotiation skills, emotional intelligence, and collaboration strategies. Exciting outdoor adventure programmes, including caving and white water rafting in various countries, will develop their capabilities to overcome team challenges.

3. Community Leadership

 

LEAD students are given platforms to be actively engaged in leading service learning initiatives, both locally and overseas. The programme aims to groom compassionate leaders with a heart for others, who think beyond themselves and their immediate teams, to be socially responsible citizens, and to serve and care for their community.

Finally, LEAD students are provided opportunities to engage global and local government agencies, non-governmental organisations, industries, and educational institutions. They will develop 21st century competencies, such as critical and inventive thinking, global awareness and cross-cultural skills, change readiness, and an enterprising spirit; and be groomed to be adaptable future-oriented leaders. LEAD students can look forward to participating in immersive and intellectual symposiums such as those organised by the United Nations, local and overseas universities and agencies, as well as engagements with government officials, industry and thought leaders, and exchanges with peers across the world.
