On March 24 and 25, eight Assistant Commissioners and 26 Chief Superintendents completed the Directorate Development Programme 2021 which aimed to provide them with a platform to contemplate and confront challenges faced by the Force. Members of the Senior Directorate Group shared their insights on strategic leadership from management, operational, national security, financial and resource management perspectives. The participants were inspired to equip themselves to shoulder their leadership roles in the face of the ever-changing political and socio-economic landscape.
The highly intensive and in-depth programme explored various issues including the new normal, media landscape, international relations and the Law of the Peoples’ Republic of China on Safeguarding National Security in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region as delivered by a panel of keynote speakers in their respective fields.
Commissioner Tang Ping-keung concluded the programme by sharing his decades-long leadership journey with the participants. This included the motto, “Strong wind reveals the strength of grass” which encapsulated on the need for senior officers to remain united, committed and resilient in facing organisational challenges. The Commissioner also stressed the importance of being adaptable and adopting appropriate strategies to turn vision into reality whilst leading in different circumstances. He added that it was important to remain faithful to one’s original aspiration in serving society and stay committed to one’s profession. Finally, the Commissioner emphasised the need to work altruistically towards the greater good of society.
