Abstract

The leadership model was such an important issue that I think it warrants a separate chapter. When I became the head of Singapore Prison Service, I thought that it was important to determine what effective leaders were like in the Prison Service so that their skills could be documented and transferred to those who came after them. The leadership model could also form the basis of the appraisal of the top talents in the Prison Service and identify their development needs. In the earlier years when I was busy trying to determine the broad approach to reform the prison system, I had no time to focus on this matter. By the time I came round to it, it was near the end of my tenure. The study I mentioned in the last chapter did produce something very worthwhile and not entirely expected. Unfortunately, I would soon leave the Prison Service and had no time left to see through its implementation.
