Building Sustainable Futures: Developing a Halal Supply Chain Leadership Competency Framework

This paper examines current issues and future challenges in the Halal supply chain sector, particularly focusing on attracting suitable talent to sustain its rapid growth. Special focus is placed on better understanding what attributes are needed to develop leaders in ASEAN who can ensure culturally safe and respectful cross-border interactions. While significant progress has been made in establishing technical Halal competence within supply chains there is a notable lack of discussion around creating a leadership framework to ensure the sector's ongoing sustainability. Presently, leadership knowledge within the Halal diaspora is largely influenced by Western-centric definitions of effective leadership, which often lack relevance to their cultural contexts and cross-border implicatios, leading to potential mismatches in application, especially in ASEAN settings. Given the increasing complexity of the trading environment, there is a pressing need for more focused research to develop meaningful and culturally relevant leadership competency frameworks for the Halal sector. This study adopts an exploratory approach, employing a qualitative document analysis to systematically examine and interpret the existing body of literature.
