| Leadership is the act of guiding a team or individual to achieve a goal through direction and motivation -- and there is a leader in all of us. This issue contains insightful resources and pointers that touch on the various under-talked about but important aspects of leadership. I hope this inspires us to not just exercise good leadership in our daily lives as individuals and organisations, but more importantly, help us get through and thrive even in difficult times. | | Build Your Reputation as a Trustworthy Leader People’s expectations and definition of trustworthiness are broadening for leaders, and it takes a lot to gain that trust.

If you hope to enjoy a career of great influence and impact, start by cultivating a trustworthy reputation. | | Adam Grant on leadership, emotional intelligence, and the value of thinking like a scientist In Adam Grant's latest book, 'Think Again: The Power of Knowing What you Don’t Know', he makes the case for greater flexibility in our views—and offers tactics for leading discussions that may help others do the same. This conversation was part of a new discussion series for McKinsey partners and clients called "Modern Leadership," which is designed to explore new dimensions of leadership with experts and leading thinkers who can help strengthen, challenge, and stretch our ability to build resilient teams and thrive in uncertain times. | | How to discover your ‘why’ in difficult times | Simon Sinek  | | Proudly Brought to You I seek to reach out to people who believe in safeguarding the interests of their loved ones.

Although I, my wife and children have medical coverage thanks to my job, I was keen to ensure we had private coverage in place too.
Lata was good at listening to our concerns and our wishes, and gave us clear, focused advice on what would best suit our needs and situation. She listens intently, has a quick and sharp mind and recommends a good fit in line with needs and concerns, rather than trying to push a product.
We have since turned to her for guidance on other concerns too and are happy to recommend her. | |  | | Alicia Ng I recently moved back to Singapore after 9 years and getting insured was a big priority. After dealing with various insurers and independent financial consultants, I was left frustrated and confused, until I met Lata. What struck me the most was her ability to truly listen to my needs, and her passion and determination in helping me find the right solutions. Lata has been professional, punctual, consistent, genuinely warm, caring and empathetic throughout our journey, and we have become friends along the way. She really knows her stuff and I am now happily insured, and feeling much more secure about my future. It is not an understatement to say that Lata has helped me sleep better at night and I highly recommend her and Prudential for all your financial needs. | |  | | Marife Destajo Labayo. Senior Associate Asia Pacific. Star Private Limited  For several years Ms Lata has been our Family Insurance Agent. She has shown and provided an exceptional service. Always ready, willing to help and answer questions in times of need. I am glad to know her and to have her as our insurance agent. | |  | | Neo Sio Cheng I came to know Lata only in May 2020. She took over my policies when my agent left. Lata has great customer service and always expeditiously replies my queries. Somehow, she knows I cannot wait for her replies and will immediately handle my queries even when she is about to go into a meeting in two minutes.
She will forward links to me and assist me in following up. I know I am not her only client but her urgency to respond to me is ridiculously fast.
I and glad Lata won the MDRT award and I believe there will be many more to come.
Cheers Lata and continue to feel the pulse of your clients!
| |  | | Jagbir Singh. Productions. Shell Thanks for guiding me and being the most genuine and sincere person I know. Your help has allowed me personally to see a better life free of financial burdens. Thanks for being more than a advisor but a personal friend. I believe everyone should learn of your approach and know how caring and sweet you are as a person. Sincere thanks to you, Lata. | |  | | Sunita Venkataraman, Senior Vice President & Group Head, Research & Insights Lata has been a friend and my wealth planner for about 8 years now. I really enjoy my sessions with her since she is really well read and stays updated on markets and the global economies. Her suggestions are never given lightly and she always provides options that we discuss and then decide. She is always available to me and her other clients, and if ever I need her urgently, she always finds the time to meet with me. She's one of the warmest, kindest people I know and is always thinking about what's best for her clients, even at personal cost to herself. I would recommend Lata's services to anyone without hesitation. | | | | |
