The book is inspirational, insightful and instructional. The author draws upon his vast leadership experiences to highlight the pitfalls that Asian leaders can fall into, but more importantly, Chan suggests strategies not only to mitigate these but how Asian leaders can thrive on the global leadership stage.
Chan does not discount inherent Asian traits, but shows how Asians can identify weaker traits and overcome them while using strong inherent Asian traits to its best advantage. While Chan's experience is primarily in the business sphere, the lessons in this book can be applied to personal leadership and leadership in various organisational settings.
The book is organised well, energetic in pace, easy to read and digest.
Talking about energy and intent, at the end of the book, the author strongly urges us to apply these tips to experience positive transformation as an Asian leader!
