ABSTRACT
Asia becomes a sustainable economic global player the lessons of leadership in Asia may help leaders around the world know what they have to do to be more effective. The mix of these three drivers of effective leadership country context, organization culture and personal competence is evident in our studies. Witzel provides a comparison of Confucian and Daoism ideologies with work by Han Fei which offers a more legalistic view of society and leadership. Black and Morris report that Japanese corporations build organization cultures that adapt leadership to the requirements of the local markets where they operate. Three organizations and archetypes have been identified, each with different leadership requirements. Private-owned enterprises (POE): The smaller start-up companies are often run by families. As Asian leaders recognize the business challenges and subsequent organization cultural requirements, they will be able to determine what they have to know and do to be effective leaders and build effective leadership.
