An exciting and informative book about what it takes to be an effective leader in China. This should be read not only by "westerners" but also Chinese executives and managers. Without patronizing either Chinese wisdom or Western (American) practices, Gallo does a great job of helping the reader to become culturally sensitive, even empathic on an inperpersonal level. He provides invaluable practical experiences with clear applications about pitfalls to navigate and bridges to build in order to work effectively with Chinese organizations and their workforces. I loved his personal examples and willingness to share lessons learned the hard way.
(From quoting Barry Z. Posner, Ph.D, Dean and Professor of Leadership, Santa Clara University, and co-author, The Leadership Challenge)
Target readers:
Western executives, managers and team leaders based in China and Chinese leaders who want to gain insight from Western leadership wisdom.

From Publisher
There are thousands of books that have been written on business leadership. Many of these have been translated into Chinese and many have been swallowed up by Chinese business people. China has an enormous need to improve the quality of its leadership and current and future leaders are starving for more information to help them get to the top. But what we are also hearing is that while they find these Western works intellectually stimulating, there is always something missing. It is naïve for anyone to think that they can just take Western concepts and practices on leadership and make them work in China. They still need work. In fact, it is fair to ask whether these Western practices can actually be applied in China.
This book provides the bridge between Western ideas and concepts with the Chinese thoughts and wisdom.

Business Leadership in China will help Western managers in their search to understand the environment and their Chinese colleagues and customers.This book is one of the few to offer an easily accessible interpretation of the Chinese view of management. which will help expatriates learn to be effective more quickly in the new environment. |
Professor Bob Aubrey, USA
<2008-07-31 00:00>
A must-read for leaders who want to succeed in China, but also a way for Chinese leaders to understand how different their own leadership style is from the Western mainstream. Frank Gallo has the eye of the CEO working in China, the ear of a consultant and the mind of the real-world thinker. A real gem of a book. |
