A Phenomenological Study of Asian Global Leaders
Dr David Park has touched on a very important issue in the Intercultural/Cross-cultural leadership space, that is, the necessity to understand and integrate cultural intelligence from diverse perspectives. The careful exploration of cultural intelligence in leadership from Asia perspective adds an important missing voice to leadership research and literature. This book is an important contribution to leadership practices, leadership development and inter-cultural/cross-cultural leadership in general. I highly recommend it.

This short book, based on research conducted by Dr David Park, explores how organizational cultural intelligence enhances Asian leadership skills and abilities particularly in a global executive context. It covers both the conceptual aspect of cultural intelligence and how it applies to actual lived experiences and learned resilience among Asian global leaders. This study highlights practical steps for improving global leadership development in a multi-cultural team.
Dr Patrick Fung, Global Ambassador, OMF International
Cultural intelligence is greatly needed in organisational leadership. Without it cultural differences and stereotypical assumptions can hinder an organisation’s life and growth. David Park’s research contributes deeper understanding of this area and gives guidance on the way forward.
