PRN1137: Juniors Unlocking Senior Leadership Potential

KUMARAN A/L SEKAR Institut Aminuddin Baki

TypIn today's rapidly evolving workplace, the most transformative source of leadership development may not be found in boardrooms or executive coaching sessions but rather among the youngest and most digitally fluent members of an organisation. Flip the Mentor challenges the deeply rooted assumption that knowledge and wisdom flow exclusively from the top downward, proposing instead a revolutionary shift where junior employees are deliberately empowered to mentor, guide, and intellectually challenge their senior leaders. This lecture presents reverse mentoring as a high-impact management innovation that bridges critical generational divides in technology adoption, creative thinking, and workplace culture. Participants will discover how organisations that embrace this bold approach consistently report stronger leadership agility, improved team engagement, and faster adaptation to digital transformation. Drawing from global success stories and evidence-based leadership frameworks, this session equips managers with a structured, practical roadmap to design, implement, and sustain a reverse mentoring programme within their own organisations. Ultimately, flipping the mentor is not about undermining experience it is about unlocking the full spectrum of human potential at every level, proving that true leadership has no age, no rank, and no ceiling.e Your Abstract Here!
