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.

He was intially with AIA and he managed my insurance after a mutual friend of ours left AIA. When he moved to GE, and as my trusted insurance financial adviser, I continued to buy insurance from him.
Francis is very patient in explaining my policies to me and most times having to repeat the next year what he explained to me because I've forgotten what they were all about.
Along the way, he helped me grow my retirement funds. He is not pushy or cajoling like some insurance agents are and works within my means. My son, who does not earn very much, was also able to buy an insurance policy which is affordable which would offer him some protection.
Over the years Francis and I have become good friends.
Best Wishes, | | | Karyn, Raymond & Family We have been long time clients enjoying Francis’ dedicated services as our insurance agent.
He is a compassionate person with trustworthy personality and always ready with a listening ear to our needs and help request.
Apart from this, we cherish him and value him more than an agent. In fact, he is like one of our close family members.
It is certainly our joy to have him help manage and advise us as our Financial Advisor.
Best Wishes, | | | Zainal Abdul Kadir, Sales Manager I’ve known Francis for more than 25 years. From an agent to a confidante to a friend. He always has my best interest in mind. I can always depend on him for sound advice and peace of mind.
Best Wishes, | | | Shaun T, Radio Personality I am pleased to tell you about Francis. He is kind, understanding and knowledgeable. Everything you want in an agent and a friend. He cares for you as a person and not just as a client. He has always gone the extra mile and he does it with a smile. Always a joy to see him..
Thanks Francis
Best Regards, | | | Ben Yeoh, Machine Learning R&D Technical Lead Francis has been my insurance agent for nearly 18 years since.
Throughout the years I've known him to be knowledgeable, reliable, consistent, and extremely helpful in all matters relating to the administration of my policies. However, the trait that particularly stands out is his sincerity - Francis genuinely cares for the well-being of his clients.
Even though my immediate family has purchased policies from multiple insurers, we are in the process of aggregating all our policies under Francis (and Great Eastern) mainly because of his exceptional service.
Best Regards, | | | Samuel Yap, Information Security Specialist My wife, Beng Choo, and myself have known Francis for about 10 years. Francis is a person with great character.
He is trustworthy and provides excellent service to us. Francis has made the process of dealing with insurance simple and painless.
These qualities have demonstrated clearly that Francis is highly committed to his profession. I will recommend Francis to anyone without hesitation or reservation.
Best Regards, | | | | |
