PM Wong Urges Businesses to Make Room for Young Leaders and Expand Overseas
Published
Singapore Prime Minister Lawrence Wong has told Chinese business leaders that companies should create space for the next generation of leaders while still learning from the experience of older staff. He also said that businesses should change early, before outside pressures force them to do so.
In his message, Mr Wong encouraged companies to make good use of their experienced workers and to pass on responsibility to younger people. He explained that a mix of fresh ideas and long-term knowledge can help a business stay strong over time. For many firms, this balance is an important part of planning for the future.
Mr Wong also said that companies should broaden their overseas networks. By building links with partners in other countries, businesses can find new markets, learn new ways of working, and reduce their dependence on a single region. He suggested that firms which prepare early for change are more likely to succeed than those that wait until they have no other choice.
The Prime Minister's comments show the government's interest in helping Singapore's business community adapt to a changing global economy. His message is a reminder that planning ahead, supporting younger leaders, and looking beyond national borders are key steps for companies that want to stay competitive.
