At this year's Singapore HR Awards, Stanley Huang, Group CEO of SP Group was named Best CEO.
His approach to leadership brings business priorities and people development together, with a focus on helping employees build the capabilities to grow alongside the organisation and meet the demands of a changing energy landscape.
“During the Covid-19 pandemic, I saw true leadership in our people. They remained resilient, courageous and agile, ensuring our services continued uninterrupted while keeping safety as our highest priority. It reinforced my belief that leadership is about creating a shared sense of purpose, helping people understand the role they play and empowering them to rise to the occasion, whether by seizing new opportunities or navigating challenges.
To me, leadership is less about personal achievements and more about empowering your team to realise their potential and perform at their best. My focus is on ensuring my team feels equipped, supported, and trusted in carrying our their responsibilities, while creating an environment where they can grow alongside the business, build new capabilities and take on greater responsibilities. At the same time, leadership also requires the courage to make difficult decisions when necessary, even when they may be unpopular in the short term, in order to secure the long-term success, sustainability and future readiness of the organisation.
More than any single achievement, I hope my colleagues will remember how we grew SP Group from strength to strength alongside Singapore’s progress and established a solid foundation for our energy future. Ultimately, an organisation’s strength is built through its people. If our people are better prepared for the future, that’s a legacy to be proud of.”
