Joshua Sng - Global CEO for One Month
The Z Club is not the only bootcamp that he has conquered!
Meet Joshua Sng, new recruit to the VIP batch of 2022 (congrats!) and also one of the winners of Adecco's global CEO for one month! Double congrats!
As part of a drive to help young people, Adecco's “CEO for One Month” initiative offers young talents the chance to develop and showcase their leadership potential, to learn what it takes to succeed as a business leader, and to acquire the skills and experience needed to get their foot on the career ladder.
With over 140,000 applicants this year, each country participating will select a candidate to shadow the Adecco Group's country-level CEO for one full month, working side-by-side to experience the life of a senior business leader. Thereafter, 10 outstanding participants would be selected for a global bootcamp before one would be chosen to work alongside and shadow the global CEO of the Adecco Group for one month.
This year, two finalists were selected to shadow the newly-appointed Global CEO for a month - Laura Ionescu, representing UK & Ireland, and, Joshua Sng, representing Singapore.
Here are some pictures of the global bootcamp held in Zurich.
Seems like Joshua worked hard but played even harder!
What an experience. Here's what Joshua has to say about this thrilling ride:
"I often tell people that this program is, hands down, the business education I never thought i could’ve gotten - especially as a liberal arts major myself. I was exposed to the hard side of business - P&L management, business process management & optimization, dealing with client requests - and also the softer side - the complexities in navigating a global Fortune 500 company, managing up, hurdles to business innovation, employer value propositioning and retention, and more.
This is also rather forward-thinking. No global companies I know now would allow a young talent to shadow a CEO as part of their professional development. A testament to the prospects of what intergenerational leadership teams could look like, as we navigate this fast-changing, VUCA world.
It also helps that I love to ask questions - and often tons of it at a time. Being able to speak with these senior leaders has been an immense privilege for me. I get to pull back the covers of their mind and understand how they think and what makes them tick."
Am I the only one feeling like I just have to sign up for this experience? The people look amazing too!
Thank you Joshua for sharing these photos and your experience! We are so proud of you and look forward to your contribution to the Z Club in the coming years!
