KUCHING: A leadership programme challenging growth-at-all-costs thinking will be held here, addressing how young leaders make decisions within real social and ecological limits.
Known as ‘Leading Within the Donut: Young Leaders for a Future’, the session is designed to respond to pressures prioritising speed and scale over people, ecosystems and trust.
Facilitator Gabriel Hii said the programme grew from lived experience.
“We didn’t understand the systems shaping outcomes,” he said.
He explained that leadership is disciplined judgement, saying it involves setting direction, prioritising trade-offs, and protecting boundaries that must never be compromised.
Hence, this will not be a lecture but a working session, equipping leaders to diagnose systems, anticipate unintended consequences, and make strategic choices within constraints.
Participants will leave with tools to design initiatives that are regenerative, adaptive, and responsible, capabilities increasingly demanded across civil society, social enterprises, and public-interest leadership.
The programme will take place on February 7 at the Borneo Cultures Museum, from 1.00 pm to 5.00pm, with fees set at RM60.
