The first Global Leadership Summit site in Asia — helping Singapore's leaders grow since 2006, because when leaders get better, everyone wins.
The first Global Leadership Summit site in Asia — helping Singapore's leaders grow since 2006, because when leaders get better, everyone wins.
You don't need a title to lead. Wherever you have influence — at work, at home, in your community — you can use it to make things better. Our mission is simple: to inspire and equip leaders to lead where they are.
It's leadership with a higher purpose — grounded in character, service and the dignity of people, and built for everyday working life. When leaders grow, the people and organisations around them grow too.
The Global Leadership Summit began near Chicago in 1995 and has grown into one of the world's largest leadership gatherings. Today the Global Leadership Network reaches leaders in more than 135 countries — and Singapore is proudly part of that story.
A small local team believed Singapore's leaders deserved a front-row seat to the world's best leadership thinking — so they brought the Summit home, and Singapore became the very first Global Leadership Summit site in Asia.
Twenty years on, more than 15,000 leaders across the church, corporate and community sectors have grown with us. What began as one gathering has become a movement of Singapore leaders getting better, together — and opening the door for the rest of the region to follow.
A few of the moments that shaped the Global Leadership Network in Singapore.
Singapore becomes the first Global Leadership Summit site in Asia, bringing the movement to the region for the first time.
Year on year, more leaders from business, the social sector and the church join in — and keep coming back.
The movement broadens across the corporate world, the community and ministry — leaders learning side by side.
Live local and regional voices join the world-class filmed faculty, making the Summit truly ours.
When the world changed overnight, we adapted to keep Singapore's leaders connected and growing.
Singapore passes 15,000 leaders impacted since 2006 — a movement, not a moment.
The Summit gathers at Bethesda Cathedral, Bedok — two days, high impact.
Leadership isn't a title — it's the influence you already have, wherever you are.
Who you are matters more than what you achieve. Integrity is the foundation of trust.
Leadership exists to serve people and lift them up — never the other way round.
We're caretakers of what we've been given — our influence, our people, our community.
One set of values, lived out in everyday working life — shaped by enduring, godly principles of service and stewardship.
Behind the Global Leadership Summit in Singapore is a committee of local leaders who give their time to bring this movement to the nation — and to serve leaders across the region.
