Morning Shot: Leadership Transitions at Work: How to Adapt to a New Boss (or Be One)

Adeline Tiah (https://adelinetiah.com/) is a Singapore-based leadership and team coach, known for helping senior leaders understand how to lead through transformation, disruption, and AI-driven change without losing trust, performance, or engagement. Her work sits at the intersection of leadership, psychological safety, team performance, and change management, with a clear point of view: business as usual is no longer enough, but speed and performance cannot come at the expense of trust.

Drawing on 25+ years of leadership experience across the telco and banking industries, including senior roles at HSBC, UOB, Standard Chartered, and M1, Adeline has seen what happens when organizations ask teams to move faster, adopt new technology, and compete in changing markets without giving people the safety, clarity, and confidence to do their best work. She helps leaders find the sweet spot between high performance and psychological safety, where teams can deliver results while still feeling empowered to speak up, innovate, and take risks.

Her approach is practical and evidence-based. Rather than treating leadership development as a one-off event, she designs stackable, scalable, and sustainable learning journeys that build over time. Through her REINVENT™ methodology, set out in her book Reinvent 4.
