Description
93% of Hong Kong’s GDP is generated by the service industry, which also provides employment for 88% of the total working population of the territory. If you are not making a living through farming, fishing, hunting, mining, manufacturing or repetitive processing, chances are that you are in the service industry. In other words, unless tertiary students intend to take up a non-service job (and be among the remaining 12% of the working population), then service is likely to be their future.
Services are carried out and led by people. Service leaders are and will therefore be in great demand. The speaker is Chairman Emeritus of DHL International and a Hong Kong service guru and will suggest to the audience, especially our future leaders, how they may outperform their peers.
