Leaders Journal EP07: Are "Paper" Generals In Singapore Any Good?! (Feat. Samuel Myat San)

Written By Jason Ho

LISTEN NOW ON SPOTIFY!

We kickstart 2022 with an episode of the Leaders Journal, where Jason sits down with a longtime buddy, Samuel, to weigh in on a "controversial" leadership topic that Singaporeans can relate to — CAN THE PROMOTION OF GENERALS IN SINGAPORE BE JUSTIFIED?

The announcement of Mr Tan Chee Wee's promotion as "SAF's first inspector-general to oversee Singapore's pre-school sector" was met with much bemusement by the public who began conjuring memes about the "army-style" discipline that the children would be subjected to.

Naturally, the question arose as to whether it was justified to promote an army general to a sector he had little experience in.

Catch the full "debate" between Jason and Samuel, who discuss the pros and cons of this decision through the lens of leadership in the workplace.
