Renowned leadership strategist Dr Emmanuel Osoteku has unveiled a global executive leadership programme in Singapore, challenging business leaders to move beyond conventional notions of authority and embrace technology, strategic thinking, global exposure and institutional impact.
The Global Executive Leadership Mastermind, Singapore, holding from yesterday to September 22, is designed to bring together chief executives, founders, entrepreneurs, investors, senior corporate executives, public-sector leaders and emerging business leaders for an immersive leadership and strategic development experience.
Osoteku said the programme was conceived against the backdrop of rapid advances in artificial intelligence (AI), technology, globalisation and changing economic realities that are redefining how organisations operate.
According to him, leadership can no longer be measured solely by position or title, as executives must increasingly understand technology, navigate uncertainty, build resilient institutions, attract capital, develop strategic networks and compete across borders.
The Singapore edition is the latest stage of the initiative, which began in Rwanda in 2024 and moved to Qatar last year.
Osoteku said the progression was deliberate, with each destination providing participants with different business, cultural and economic environments from which to examine leadership and organisational growth.
He said the objective was not merely to take executives abroad but to expose them to ‘different possibilities’ and challenge assumptions about business, leadership and institutional development.
The programme is anchored on the theme: ‘Singapore isn’t the destination. The new you is.’
Unlike conventional conferences, the mastermind is structured as an executive reset, combining strategic conversations, networking, cultural immersion and exposure to Singapore’s business ecosystem.
The organisers said participants would have opportunities to reflect on their leadership styles, decision-making, organisational systems and strategies while engaging with peers from different sectors.
Key areas of discussion include strategic leadership, AI and technology, capital, influence, governance, organisational relevance and global expansion.
Sessions such as ‘The Billion-Dollar Mind’ will examine scale, wealth creation and strategic opportunities, while ‘The New Architecture of Power’ will explore how technology, capital, information, networks and influence are changing access to power and decision-making.
Other sessions, including ‘The Attention Economy,’ ‘Borderless: Going Global’ and ‘How They Failed,’ are expected to examine reputation, global expansion and why successful organisations lose relevance.
A major focus of the programme is the transition from personal success to lasting institutional impact.
The organisers said accomplished executives must increasingly ask not only how to achieve success but how to use their success to develop people, strengthen institutions and create opportunities that outlive them.
The programme will also emphasise governance, ethical leadership, accountability and responsible use of power.
Singapore was selected as the 2026 destination because of its reputation as an international hub for business, finance, technology and global commerce.
Participants are expected to study aspects of Singapore’s infrastructure, business environment and development model, with the aim of identifying lessons that can be adapted to their organisations and local environments.
Participants will also have an opportunity to receive a Global Leadership Certification in partnership with Workplace Leadership Institute (WLI), Canada.
Osoteku said the journey from Rwanda to Qatar and now Singapore represents an evolving platform for leaders committed to continuous reinvention, innovation, responsible influence and transformational impact.
