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 a business leadership model must also reflect cultural context, which is why author Stanley Remple argues that a cookie-cutter, individualistic Western approach doesn't serve the needs of Chinese business leaders. Enter Leadership Wisdom for Business Success in China, a powerful four-book series that examines value-based business leadership specifically within the Chinese cultural and social environment and offers a framework to promote individual and collective potential while creating a successful and competitive business.
In Book Three, Values Guide Decision-Making for Results, Remple explores the importance of ensuring all decision-making is results-based and dives into four business leadership responsibility areas that contribute to business success: strategic direction, complementary partnerships, leadership development, and governance accountability. With a focus on technical tools, creating and using a three-year business plan is examined along with decision-making processes to ensure all strategic action is aligned with performance objectives. Case examples of successful Chinese businesses are also used to illustrate how these tools work within a cultural context.
Much more than a theoretical overview of business leadership, this series offers a roadmap and solid tools 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 both new and experienced business leaders and entrepreneurs, leadership consultants and trainers, and post-secondary leadership programs in China. However, stakeholders in the West will also find great value in this comprehensive exploration of value-based leadership.
