Episode Synopsis

FRED TAN, MANAGING DIRECTOR AND CO-FOUNDER, GENIUM & CO
In our volatile and uncertain world, individuals, teams and organisations need to face the challenges of today and embrace the opportunities of tomorrow by developing future leaders today. Drawing on his personal journey in organizational learning and personnel management, as well as his operational exposures to Timor-Leste, Aceh and the United Nations Headquarters in New York, Fred is passionate in helping organizations develop effective leaders who can inspire trust, adapt readily to diverse settings, and engender ownership in multi-cultural high-performing teams.
For close to seven years as Head of the SAF’s Centre for Leadership Development (CLD), Fred systematically implemented a top-of-class leadership development system for a pipeline of 15,000 military leaders annually, and championed the seeding of an open learning culture in the organization. The Centre won the HRM Asia “Best in Leadership Development Award” in 2016.
Fred is a graduate of United States Military Academy at West Point, and holds a Master of Science in Human Resource Development & Management from New York University and a Master in Human Capital Leadership from Singapore Management University. He was trained in Leadership Development and Crisis Leadership at Harvard University.
In this episode Fred shares his passion for developing leaders and provides unique insights into why Singapore Armed Forces chose to use a simple tool - TetraMap for developing young military leaders.
The quote he chose to share is Native American Cherokee proverb:


"when you were born, you cried and the world rejoiced. Live your life in such a way that when you die, the world cries and you
rejoice.
