I remember vividly, the moment I entered the Senate Hall. I was\nastonished to see the speaker arrive 30 minutes early than the audience. He is\ncalmed and remained composed, preparing for his session. Snap! Immediately I\nstarted to reflect on my attitude. As I seated in the audience, I tried to\nstudy his presence. Indeed, he is a very healthy and humble person. Am I\nignorant enough? Do I know, who is the the person in from of me? He is among\nthe amazing leaders that play vital role in Malaysia economic growth. He is Tan\nSri Dato\u2019 Sri Abdul Wahid Omar. To stand in the same hall, as an audience with\nsuch a great leader, the feeling was substantial. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tan Sri Dato\u2019 Sri Abdul Wahid Omar started his sharing by engaging the\naudience via his name through story telling. This is among the quality that a\nleader need to have. A leader shall be able to engage with the audience at the\nvery beginning of the session. The way TS Abdul Wahid Omar engage with us, show\nthat, he studies his audience and know how to blend well with the audience. As\nI mention earlier on, he arrived early and I sincerely believed, he did\nmeticulous study to engage with the audience, in spite of his exceptional\nexperience as a leader in numbers of institution. He is humble, well prepared\nand meticulous. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

TS Abdul Wahid Omar is the man full of wisdom, anything that he uttered\nis knowledge and value to be added in our life. He started to share his journey\nthroughout his career. The road from accountancy to the CFOs and CEOs of the\ngrand company in Malaysia such as FIMA, Amanah Capital Group, Telekom, UEM, TM\nand Maybank. From his portfolio, I believe he is a leader whom able to\ndistinguish meso, micro, macro and meta in managing his organization, hence he\nexcels in each leadership role. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whenever he comes into any organization, he will have a revisit to the\nmission and vision of the organization for him to do the transformation. This,\nis the highlight on this topic. He emphasizes the significant roles of mission\nand vision for him to manoeuvre his transformation strategy. To start with any\ntransformation, TS Abdul Wahid Omar, ensure that he has clear and solid\npurpose. In every action that he made, a crystal clear purpose will be his\npathway. A comprehensive of SWOT analysis (Strength, weakness, opportunities\nand threats) is also very essential before executing any strategies.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

            As I listened to his\nsharing, I was imagining the way he successfully become a leader.  TS Dato Abdul Wahid Omar, knows how to read\nthe whole organization, from the staff, account and etc. So he knows how to\nfind the key problem. The case shared by TS Abdul Wahid Omar through the bad\nworking culture of the respective companies. So, before he makes any actions\ntowards the issues, he ensures that he have a clear purpose, respected to the\nmission and vision, do the SWOT analysis and then he strategize the action to\ntransform the working culture. Basically, his steps as follows<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Find the key problem<\/li>
  2. Set the clear purpose<\/li>
  3. Diagnose \/ Re-allign mission and vision<\/li>
  4. Establish SWOT Analysis<\/li>
  5. Formulate Strategy <\/li>
  6. Transform (Implement Strategy)<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    This is the 6 key element that was used by TS Abdul Wahid Omar. These\nhas allowed him to reprioritize strategy in term of performance, restructuring\nassets and resources and re-focus on the profitable target\/ objective of his\nbusiness strategy. Among the action taken by him in transforming the\norganization is by changing the management, simplify structures (pillars),\ncreate new mission\/purpose and focus on customer needs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    I am deeply sorry as, I am not doing the justice with my reflection on\nthe 3 hours sharing by TS Abdul Wahid Omar. The most admirable lesson and the\ncharacter qualities of exemplary leader I have learned from TS Abdul Wahid are as\nfollows;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    • Justice, Courageous and\nTruthful<\/li>
    • Unquestionable integrity,\n<\/li>
    • Very strong principle of\nlife<\/li>
    • Visionary, articulate and\nauthentic- succession planning and talent review process<\/li>
    • Competent, Professional and\nEfficient<\/li>
    • Empathy and humility-\nStaying grounded and do not hesitate to say sorry and learn from the mistakes. <\/li>
    • Well versed- Knows what,\nwhen and to who he wants to deliver <\/li>
    • Create\/ Develop\/Groom\nquality successor and leader. <\/li>
    • Provide opportunities –\nall diversity (talent-age-race-gender)<\/li>
    • Avoid\/Fight at any cost-\nthe favouritism\/cronyism and etc.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      Tan Sri Abdul Wahid Omar is the man of his words, all of the qualities\nmentioned above are his action and principles as a human and a leader. I hope I\ncould apply all of these essential qualities needed. It is not merely as a\nleader, but first as a human and educator in UTM and in Malaysia. Hopefully I\ncan follow his wisdom as follows; <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      • Be a leader with a clear\npurpose<\/li>
      • Focus on the\nfundamentals. (Substance rather than form)<\/li>
      • Work hard and smart for\nexcellence<\/li>
      • Focus on the task in your\nhand. Do well<\/li>
      • Don\u2019t Stop learning and\nmake full use of the technology<\/li>
      • Keep innovating (always\nthink outside of the box with great solution)<\/li>
      • Embrace three qualities\nof good leader (Integrity, Competency and Humility). <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
