MANAGERIAL LEADERSHIP IN ASIA3
Introduction:
In terms of managerial leadership, Asia was first led by countries like Japan, followed
by South Korea and in the current scenario; the leadership management is led by China
followed by India. Countries like China and India has gradually built their position to become
the global economic power, which brought rapid changes in the society. Managerial
leadership has become a cornerstone in the context of the shift of power from the rural to the
urban living standards, which has been occurring to align with the growing demands of a high
standard of living. Prominent examples of managerial leadership that changed the scenario of
Asia are the the workers strike by the Toyota employees in China and the manner in which
they succeeded in bringing forth the desired changes for their workers. In most of the Asian
countries and specifically in China and India, an evolving pattern projects the societal
dichotomy in the present day. In Asia, a pattern of fragmentation is quite evident, where one
part of the society tends to be more aligned to the past traditions and the second part inclined
towards the western like approaches of the leadership and work culture. The alignment
towards the western like culture started with the demand for MBA programs designed by the
Western countries (especially by countries like the US, Canada and the Australian
universities) by the Sian youth mainly in China. This demand for learning management
leadership at the higher level led to the migration of the Asian students to the western
countries and in the process resulted in the transplantation of the of the Western mindset
within the managerial sectors in the different Asian countries. Henceforth, different efforts
were given to align the leadership practices of the western and the Asian countries, which
was triggered, by the rapid use and popularity of the internet (Khanna,2017)
The changes brought in the Asian countries were under the backdrop of the different
set of cultural values that has influenced the leadership role in Asia from its very inception.
