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, 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.

Hewitt Asia Leadership Center

The Hewitt Asia Leadership Center 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 throughout the region to assist them with all aspects of the leadership value chain.

The center provides total solutions to leadership assessment and development that can be tailored according to your needs. From simple psychometric assessment tools to comprehensive assessment centre approaches, our consultants help your organization identify high-potential individuals and grow them into leaders you can rely on to deliver the business results you want.

We offer courses and programs that target leader effectiveness and are aimed primarily at emerging leaders. Courses such as Thinking as a Leader, Building Optimism and Resilience, and Communicating Assertively will help your high-potential employees build self-awareness and personal effectiveness. Meanwhile, courses such as Coaching for Performance, Leading Change, and Leading to Boost Engagement will help them build leadership skills and competencies.

Our objective is to work with leaders and leadership teams to ensure that they execute business strategies faster, with greater impact, and with stronger sustainability. Our promise is that you will achieve stronger results as a consequence.

We can help you design effective organization development processes that facilitate shared understanding of organizational goals and strategies including business and strategic planning and executive teambuilding. We help you ensure your leadership strategies and practices are aligned with the greater business strategy, and are effectively implemented.

The Research Center

The Research Center will partner with academics and universities to conduct focused research on the emerging leadership challenges in the region and, more fundamentally, the nature and drivers of successful leadership in Asia. As globalization impacts notions of leadership and manager effectiveness, the HALC will be able to answer clients' questions about what it really takes to successfully lead a business in Asia.
