Publisher's Synopsis
Strong business leadership built on a value-based foundation has the power to drive profit while improving the lives of business leaders, employees, and even those in the community. But to truly succeed, a business leadership model must make sense within its cultural context. Enter Leadership Wisdom for Businesses in China, a powerful four-book series that explores why an individualistic Western approach won't work in China. Instead, Remple offers a practical leadership blueprint that reflects Chinese leadership standards and ideals for an uncertain future.
In Book Two: Developing a Value-Based Business, Author Stanley Remple examines the importance of a shared value-based organization worldview to develop individual and collective potential. He operationalizes this through a framework of six crucial leadership responsibility areas: establishing the worldview; identifying community values; improving self-leadership; empowering shared decision-making; strengthening employee commitment; and building effective communication. Each of these areas is illustrated by a case study of a successful Chinese business.
Much more than a theoretical overview of business leadership, this series is distinguished by a practical roadmap for developing both self-leadership and business leadership within a whole company. Supported by a Chinese project team consisting of researchers, educators, writers and editors, business leaders, and other stakeholders, this culturally relevant series has been written for business leaders and entrepreneurs, leadership consultants and trainers, and post-secondary leadership programs in China. However, stakeholders in the West will also find great foundational relevance in this comprehensive exploration of value-based leadership.
