About TAL Insurance

Challenges & Opportunities
TAL recognised the need to enhance leadership consistency and effectiveness across mid-to-senior management to drive strategic growth. The leadership program sought to address several critical challenges while leveraging key opportunities for development.
- Gaps in leadership consistency and decision-making at the middle management level.
- Inconsistent leadership development practices across business units.
- Saw an opportunity to leverage Adrian's leadership experience and tailored consulting approach.
- An opportunity to create a unified leadership development program aligned with broader corporate objectives.
- The need for structured, high-quality learning content to reinforce leadership decision-making and performance management.
Training & Development Approach
The Leadership & Professional Development program provided to TAL was a structured combination of online learning, workshops and custom certifications, tailored to their leadership development goals.
01
Harvard ManageMentor Modules
TAL engaged with six leadership modules from Harvard ManageMentor, focusing on core areas such as decision-making, performance management and strategic thinking. As the program progressed, TAL expanded their learning journey by adding four more modules, bringing the total to ten modules as leadership needs evolved.
02
Workshops
In-person workshops facilitated by Adrian provided participants with opportunities to apply the principles learned in the modules. These interactive workshops included real-world exercises, collaborative problem-solving and leadership discussions aimed at bridging the gap between theory and practical application.
03
Custom Certification
Upon completing the program, TAL’s leadership team was awarded a custom certification to formally recognise their mastery of the leadership skills covered in the program. The certification marked a milestone in their development journey and reinforced their commitment to leadership excellence.
