Different cultures can have radically different leadership styles and it is important for international organisations to understand them. As European business continues to expand into China and Chinese companies establish operations around Europe, employers need to integrate both Chinese and European perspectives into their leadership models.
Understanding the inherent differences between Chinese and European leadership styles is essential for successful talent management programs. Our conference will give you a clear understanding of the similarities and differences between Chinese and European leadership styles and how to apply them to your company.
LEAD-IN and the Flanders-China Chamber of Commerce are delighted to invite you to their joint conference which explores Western and Chinese models of business leadership with an expert panel of business leaders and academics.
