Heart and Soul: Latiff Sher Mohamed, my brother and HR icon


Latiff Sher Mohamed found his niche in providing “how to” solutions to problems confronted by many personnel managers, now referred to as HR managers, in their day-to-day affairs. Photo: 123rf.com

If one was pursuing a career in the field of personnel and industrial relations in the 1980s, one would have most likely attended a training seminar conducted by Latiff Sher Mohamed or obtained one of his books about finding professional solutions to work problems.

Standing at 6ft 2in (188cm), Latiff was an imposing figure. I am not sure if it was his height, personality or vast experience but Latiff was someone to be reckoned with. After successfully completing his Higher School Certificate in Anderson School Ipoh, Latiff pursued a Bachelor’s Degree majoring in Economics in the Universiti Malaya in 1962 and obtained Honours. Subsequently, he acquired a Chartered Secretaries and Administrators UK qualification and an MBA in Personnel Administration.
