Even Chinas harshest critics are beginning to admit the remarkable qualities of Chinas leadership in the fast evolution from a dirt poor country to a major global player in only 30 years? What enabled China to turn a demoralized, patronized and poorly educated workforce in a country of a billion people to become proactive and competitive?
China has reinvented itself as if it were a huge enterprise. It has developed leadership principles which are focusing on a change in thinking rather than detailed directives. The enterprise developed a culture which fit the demands of the enterprise and pointedthe workforce in the direction of modernity and wealth. Economically and politically Chinas leadership and its people have quickly moved from imitation to innovation.
The Chinese leadership model is context-oriented. It focuses more on the environment in which decisions are made than on having specific answers. Western seminars and trainings which for decades have been based exclusively on Western theories and practices could gain from exposure to the fresh and successful Chinese leadership model using the following subjects:
Emancipating minds for innovation and growth
Balancing top-down leadership with bottom-up initiatives
Establishing strategies and delegating implementation
Managing uncertainty through contextual leadership
Leveraging diversity to manage complexity
Developing global mindsets
Balancing personal and global paradoxes
Becoming a values-driven leader
Chinas rise is evident in almost every field. Since 1990 its economy has moved from # 137 in the world to # 3 in the world. 450 of the Fortune 500 companies are investing in and have a presence in China, Chinas foreign-exchange reserves have risen to 2 trillion; 2/3 of the economy is now in the private sector. Strategically efficient in its political strategies and economic vigor, when will it become a challenger to Americas leading political position and economic competitiveness?
What is the secret behind building world-class infrastructure, majestic cities, state-of-the-art airports and establishing globally competitive enterprises in record time? What can we learn from Chinas strategy? How will Chinas determination to become the innovation country of the world impact on Americas corporate world?
While China will take two or three decades to catch up with the Unites States, if it ever does, no viable decision can be made without taking Chinas economic and political rise into account.
For the Western world, Western democracy is the worlds best and only acceptable way of governing. Thus the West sees the future and sustainability of China in adopting Western value and Western democracy. But what is the scenario from a Chinese point of view? Is China a capitalist country with a communist coat or a communist country with capitalist coat? Is it is slowly peeling off one communist layer after the other in preparation for slipping into the capitalist coat held by the West? No, this will not happen.
After 30 years of selectively embracing knowledge from the world and re-interpreting Chinese ancient wisdom and experience, China is walking its own political path, creating a whole new political, social/economic model. This model allows strategic planning as well as flexibility in changing conditions. It combines the advantages of continuity in leadership with bottom-up participation.
Can the Chinese model successfully increase wealth and sustain political stability of a fifth of the worlds population? Is it possible that capitalism and big government fit together in ways that are hard for the West to envision? Will the Chinese become a tempting counter-model for countries in the third world • one that could over time constitute a real challenge for the Western democratic way of governing?
With Western democracies in crisis, what can the West learn from the Chinese model?
