4G LEADERSHIP
In the wrap-up interview, Mr Iswaran also responded to questions about the direction of Singapore’s fourth-generation leadership, following the Cabinet reshuffle just last month and given recent developments in the region.
Citing initiatives like the Future Economy Council and SkillsFuture, Mr Iswaran said there’s a need to do more cross-ministry work as issues that Singapore faces become more complex.
“We are in a more complex environment, where it is not easy to categorise particular issues to particular ministers. Those days are fast disappearing … I think this is where there are opportunities for more interactions and joint assessments. I think relying on each other's judgment to form a holistic assessment is going to be part of evolution,” said Mr Iswaran.

This will harness the ideas of Singaporeans to jointly build Singapore - where we all belong.
Particularly like the idea of "leadership must be developed in all parts of our society" ---- as situational leadership must come in - when it is politically not possible or appropriate for political leaders to comment, intervene ---- but is required to do so ---- to make our Nation safer, our interest safeguarded and the World safer, the World interest safeguarded ---- in this era of "social media proliferation" --- whereby comments, fake news, opinion etc can come out online, in realtime --- and spread to every parts of the World quickly -- that may have immediate ramnifications - if not respond to effectively and efficiently.

There are 4 types of leaderships - which will be relevant to different stages of national development.
(1) Autocratic leadership - usually happen in the formation of a Nation - to respond to a crisis, where people are less educated and need a strong visionary leader.
This is where people will have very little say - as most decisions are make by the leader.
(2) Participative leadership - when the Country is growing - leadership will involve more stakeholders to participate in decision making and the leader will make final decision.
(3) Strategic leadership - when the Country reach the peak of economic growth and reaches economic maturity - there is a need to transform the Economy through strategic leadership and transforming the economy.
(4) Team leadership - when the Country has been over the peak and transform into a new Economy, with new and unfamiliar territories in all sector - Team leadership to tap all sectors of the Society become necessary.

If at various stage of national development - use wrong leadership style - will spell trouble.
Eg. if now an autocratic leadership to dictate all sectors of Economies - where all sectors are new, unfamiliar, unchartered - where the whole World are still prodding, finding their ways ---- you think it will work?
Now imagine everyone want an autocratic who is a knowers of all sector :-
(1) in banking sector - he need to know fintech - and don't know what else when disruptive tech comes.
(2) in retail - need to know online cloud retail and payment
(3) in manufacturing - need to know 3D printing and other advanced precision manufactuing
(4) in energy sector - need to know fuel, now LNG, solar, don't know what else
(5) in transport - need to know rail, road, planes - now need to know flying taxi, hyperbole don't know what, need to know grab, uber, ryde, go jek etc don't know what
(6) in IT - need to know cloud, drone, IoT, cybersecurity, mobile apps, big data, meta data etc in future don't know what
etc etc etc ----- now can an autocrat leadership know everything in the era of disruptive tech?
If not team leadership --- then what leadership is more suitable?
You think an autocratic leader will be able to know all these "don't know what under the sun" - and make decision without team decision making?

Minister Heng by taking care of ITM (Industry Transformation Map) and the Future Economy --- seems to understand this implication and understand that team leadership at all sectors, hobby groups, interest groups ---- etc --- in this era of disruptive tech ---- is the way to go.
That is why, i say this is a good speech.
