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.
