My chat with Dian Gomes (see bio below) was pretty special. We talked about his reputation as a "dictator", how he chose people to work for him, leaving MAS and much more. I have TIME STAMPED the video so you can go to the parts that you find most interesting.
Dian Gomes is the former Chairman of Hela Clothing and former Group Director of the USD 2 billion and 58 000 employee apparel enterprise, MAS Holdings. A winner of numerous leadership awards, he has lectured widely on leadership and motivation at a variety of Sri Lankan and international forums, including Imperial College Business School, London and Said Business School and the University of Oxford. Dian was conferred the National title of “Sri Lanka Sikhamani” in 2019.
