    • While it may be true that almost no one knows what it is like to be a CEO until they are one, there are ways to begin to prepare. These lessons also  apply broadly to those working their way up the corporate ladder.

    CEOs matter. Those who rank in the top 20 per cent of financial performance generate, on  average, 2.8 times more total return to shareholders than average CEOs do. Companies in the  top quintile deliver 30 times more economic profit than the companies in the next three quintiles  combined. 

    And for Singapore, as a regional business hub CEOs matter more than for most places. With almost half of global multinationals’ regional headquarters based here, Singapore has the  potential to play an outsize role in leadership development in Asia.
