Listening to two former heads of state as they shared insights and bounced off ideas is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Former President Ramos added that we could learn so much about technology and global connectivity from the youth. For older generations in leadership roles, it is easy to be overcome with power and self-interest, along with the inherent privileges and perks. I especially enjoy talking with the elders in my life, listening to the anecdotes and guidance they have to share. Prime Minister Mahathir and President Ramos exhibited these traits at the Asean Leaders Forum, and the personal insights they shared somehow mirrored my personal leadership philosophy.
