Lets walk around some facts:

It is simple math that companies are moving towards a huge shortage of human resources in the leadership area. Succession planning is nothing like recruiting the frontlines or even mid-level managers. Leadership is about strategy, delegation, a far sighted approach towards sustainability and most importantly inspirational if not charismatic. Leaders help their team to grow as they achieve new heights. Yes, winning should be a habit while you sit on the Mount Olympus of the corporate and millennials are tuned to winning. They were prodigies and now the go getters, the people who think and ideate. But, lets face it, millennials best bloom when left to individualistic roles.

Millennials have their reason behind lacking the excitement and thrill of Generation X or Baby Boomers. Interpersonal skills are rough at the edges for most of the young workforce. The old learning and development tools fall flat on their face, when it comes to engaging these millennials. Companies need to revamp their succession planning. And they need to do it now. There is a gap in the technologies available and implemented while training young professionals for higher roles. Old training brochures and modules applied now makes a little sense. Disjointed and once-in-a-while sessions do need to see the door.
If companies need to go future forward, they need to plan ahead to engage millennials to make the best leaders out of them. The entire issue at hand is researched and analyzed in Sustaining Future Growth with Millennial Leaders - Whitepaper.

The locals have referred to the beautiful city of Melaka as the little fishing village that became one of the most beautiful cities. The UNESCO has listed Melaka as one of the best world heritage sites in the year 2008. It is a city that is quite rich culturally and also has a number of historical sites for visits. Also a little river here runs through the city providing it with a calm and peaceful aura. It is the only city in Malaysia that can rightfully boast about lots of good food apart from its cultural attraction. Starting from the famous Christ church to the always-buzzing night market the range of activities that you can indulge in Melaka rightfully will never come to an end. Make sure to visit places like the Jonker Street, Menara Taming Sari, Christ Church, Melaqka River and the famous Sultanate Palace. If you are a luxury seeker like me you can stay at the Majestic Melaka or even the Casa Del Rio Melaka which is located right in the heart of the city.


The best time to visit this city is during the months of April to May and October. After my 10-day stay in Melaka, it was time for me to visit my next destination Penang. I had a range of options right from air, train to buses to travel to this city. Based on my previous experience I chose to travel by Bus. I booked tickets for the same from this website https://www.redbus.my/bus-tickets/malacca-to-penang. As per the website there are about 4 Operators plying on this route. Trans Nasional plys about 3 buses, Sepat and Mayang Sari Express have 2 buses and Intercity Coach has 1 bus plying on this route. Trans Nasional, Sepat and Mayang Sari Express are all Executive Coach Operators with fares starting from MYR30. Intercity Coach however is the only luxury coach Operator on this route. The total duration of the journey is about 6 hours if you leave during the non peak hours. However, during the peak hours it may take upto 8 hours.I chose to travel by Trans Nasional like I usually do and I was happy with experience this time as well.

Penang : Penang is the island of modernity and old world charm. Located in central Malaysia it consists of two main parts one which is the Penang island which includes the city capital of George Town and the other Sebarang Perai. Penang today has become quite commercially progressive and is also one of the best industrialised states with a thriving economy. The city also contains a lot of old world charm and although it is highly modernised today it still hasnt forgotten its roots. The entire population here is heterogenous as a result of which a lot of languages are spoken within the city. The city also offers a stunning view of the sparkling coast as you walk along side the roads.
