INTRODUCTION

2

Leadership is the art of inspiring a group of people to work together to achieve a goal of the business. This can include directing employees and colleagues with a strategy to suit the company's needs in a corporate setting. Other than that, a leader is also someone who can hold a deep commitment to leading others and setting an example so that others are motivated to follow what they have to do. Being a leader requires more than just a position, title, or rank. Leadership is related to performance and should be taken into account in the definition of leadership. As a result, leadership is not profitable in nature, but those who make a business more profitable are considered effective leaders in the business context. Tan Sri Datuk Tiong Su Kouk will be highlighted as a leadership role model in this report. He is widely recognized for his contributions, success, and leadership qualities. All of the values he possesses can serve as an inspiration to those who hold the title of leader, in order to achieve our life's objectives.

An effective leader is concerned with the responsibility of leading and driving toward business success. Tan Sri Datuk Tiong Su Kouk is an ingenious entrepreneur, full of ambitions to achieve his business visions. He wasn't born with a silver spoon in his mouth, but with the RM3.40 his father handed him when he was 14, he starts to build his business empire. He started his profession as a fishmonger with that tiny quantity of money, eventually developing his business. He also worked as a rubber tapper from the age of eight until he was thirteen, when he received RM3.40 from his father. He had to drop out of school at such a young age, but he went on to achieve greater success. He had to drop out from school because he wants to provide educational opportunities for his siblings while working all hours of the day and night to support his family. He was inspired by the Chinese proverb to "rise to a higher level", which guided him in pursuit of higher goals and achievement of milestones in his business endeavors and to build a respected business empire globally. Refrigerated fish and shrimp storage, aquatic processing, organic tiger prawn farming, aquaculture, poultry farming, shipbuilding, boat rental, property development, and distribution of food and beverages were among his business.
