CEOs meet CEOs Luncheon Series - Mr. Shih Wing Ching

Introduction

Leadership by Empowerment is probably the most important aspect for NGO management, as we value the unique contributions that each employee brings to the organizations in our helping profession. Staff empowerment enables employees to make independent autonomous decisions. It gives employees a sense of trust, importance and capability.

For Mr. Shih Wing Ching, Chairman of Centerline Group, a leader's job is simply to facilitate employees' desire to contribute and to guide that energy. He recognizes the value brought to the organization by productive and committed employees. He emphasizes on the importance of regular communication and learning circle among his staff force. As leader, Mr. Shih is very conscious to create a nurturing environment in which staff can learn, grow, improve and function effectively.

Mr. Shih had recently announced his plan for retirement and succession, as well as his involvement in philanthropy after retirement.

During the luncheon, Mr. Shih will also share the succession planning in his organization, which involves training and developing the pool of individuals chosen as candidates to move up in the organization. By knowing where and individual's strengths and weaknesses lie, how he or she is likely to fit in a new role, and what will motivate this individual, Mr. Shih can make informed decision for the better future of the organization.

The luncheon is most suitable for CEOs and Board Members from NGOs, who want to nurture staff members' strengths to deliver the best service, and to promote their personal and professional growth
