Confronting the Business Leadership Crisis: A Practical Guide for an Uncertain Business Future - Paperback

by Stanley Remple (Author)

Competent business leadership drives profit, but there is more, and it is important to know, especially during these trying times. If business leadership is practiced with a value-based foundation, its demonstrated impact on business performance is much greater. As human beings are the most treasured business asset, business leaders practice values that maintain the asset by creating relationship harmony and trust, fostering collaborative learning to realize individual and collective potential, and developing the organization as a united community.

But a business leadership model must also reflect respect for the unique cultural context in which the business operates, which is why author Stanley Remple argues the need for improved development of Chinese business leadership development. The dominant individualistic and technical Western approach to and practice of leadership development doesn't serve the needs of Chinese business leaders very well. And it creates new avoidable challenges.

Enter Leadership Wisdom for Businesses in China, a powerful four-book series that examines natural law-based values for business leadership within the rich Chinese traditional and current cultural context. Remple offers a framework to promote individual and collective potential while creating a successful and competitive business as community.

Book One: Confronting the Business Leadership Crisis launches the series by providing an overview of business leadership approaches; examining the current global business leadership crisis and its realities in China; and making a case for natural law-based values business leadership. Based on these values, Remple outlines ten key leadership responsibility areas and supporting operating principles for each responsibility area, to realize business leadership improvements.

Much more than a theoretical overview of business leadership, this book series offers a roadmap for developing both self-leadership and business leadership within a whole company. Both are essential. Supported by an experienced Chinese project team consisting of researchers, educators, writers and editors, business leaders, and other stakeholders, this culturally relevant book series has been written for English and Mandarin-speaking 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 natural law-based values business leadership in the Western cultural context.

The other three books in the Leadership Wisdom for Business Success in China* series are:
- Book Two: Developing a Value-Based Business
- Book Three: Results-Based Community Values in Strategic Decision-Making
- Book Four: Culture Impacts Strategic Implementation Success
