Tatler Tribe members discuss the unique challenges in their respective fields—and the skills the leaders of tomorrow will need to overcome them
In January, Generation T began the months-long process of selecting 400 honourees for the 2019 incarnation of The List. The first step? Assemble over 100 industry heavyweights from across the region—an expert panel we call the Tatler Tribe—to nominate candidates and help vet our longlist.
We invited Tribe members from across Greater China and Southeast Asia to kick-off events around the region. As well as asking for their nominations, we also sought some insight from these captains of industry, asking how they see their field developing over the next decade and beyond, and what skills its future leaders will need in their arsenal. Here's what they had to say.

"The modern hospitality consumer is searching not just for an incredible product, but an indelible experience to tie it all together. Concepts will become less easily defined as we move from traditional bars, restaurants and cafes to multi-offering lifestyle spaces, clubs and co-living quarters. The hospitality leaders of tomorrow will need to navigate these new business models and work with the right partners, or recruit the right talents to build successful, recognisable brands."
