In this episode, Ho Kwon Ping, Founder and Executive Chairman of Banyan Tree Holdings, delves into what it means to be an exceptional leader. Emphasising that genuine leadership stems from authenticity, critical thinking, and the courage to challenge established norms, Ho shares career and personal leadership lessons that have one thing in common - the unconventional.

He explores the implications of short-term thinking rooted in capitalism, heightened by the influence of private equity. He argues that sustainability requires a fundamental shift in investor and institutional priorities. Ho makes a bold statement - we cannot rely solely on enlightened CEOs. Collective action, education, investor activism and grassroots efforts are needed to bring about systemic change.
