The UM LEAD Perspective
“We are all Malaysians. This is the bond that unites us. Let us always remember that unity is our fundamental strength as a people and as a nation” Tunku Abdul Rahman
Cultural diversity is always seen as a barrier, a hindrance for organisational development; Diversity as something that needs to be managed before it becomes a source of conflict. UMLead’s programme views diversity as a source for competitive advantage that can be harnessed by leadership through a consultative process. This process can be adopted by organisations at any point in their lifecycle that would be invaluable to achieve shared goals and interests.
