Effective leadership is one of the most important factors in any organization’s long-term success, and how companies develop and manage their leaders can provide them with a significant competitive advantage. However, as the region’s markets continue to grow, companies are finding it increasingly difficult to secure the leaders they need to guide them into the future.
This shortage is arguably the number one challenge facing companies in Asia today, and can seriously impact the ability of companies to grow. Smart organizations understand that their existing leadership teams need to be able to operate in an increasingly international market, and are secure in the knowledge that they have sufficient experienced people capable of assuming key roles coming up through the ranks. At Hewitt Associates, we know that leadership and leadership development is vital for your organization’s future success. As such, we have drawn on our extensive experience and ground-breaking research to launch the Hewitt Asia Leadership Center, Kuala Lumpur (HALC KL).
The HALC KL helps organizations that are looking to take a more planful approach to assessing their people for leadership potential, offering challenging and meaningful development experiences for current and future leaders, and putting in place the necessary systems to support these programs. We partner with companies from a wide range of industries to assist them with all aspects of the leadership value chain.
Our world-class team can work with your company to help you confidently assess where you are, define where you need to be and why, and design and implement the strategies and practices you need to close the gaps.
Assessment of Current and Future Leaders
The HALC KL offers a complete range of assessment tools and methodologies ranging from strategic competency-based 360-degree feedback instruments to different types of psychometric assessments. Our consultants are accredited in a wide range of assessment methodologies.
We work with you to identify your leadership challenges and work out how best to overcome those challenges. We use the most appropriate tools to conduct assessments on key staff, providing both individual and group debrief of assessment outcomes, and facilitate development action planning to enable implementation of tangible strategies to build leadership quality and depth.

The HALC KL provides a comprehensive suite of leadership and managerial development programs, focusing on areas such as experiential training, action learning, business simulations, leadership skills development, leadership style and impact, executive coaching, and leadership team effectiveness.
