THERE’S a lot that one can learn from the experiences of people behind successful companies, and this was what drove the crowd to the Star Media Group’s “Engagement with CEOs – Leadership: Innovate, Integrate, Motivate” event.

About 150 people, made up largely of chief executive officers and senior managers of Malaysian companies, turned up to hear what leaders of different industries had to say about management and their entrepreneurial journey.
