“As Asia’s presence increases in the global marketplace and world politics, we have a unique opportunity and responsibility to foster sustainable growth and forge a better future. This book was written to help more individuals reach their full potential as strong, positive leaders—people who will commit their heads, hands, and hearts to advancing the social good.”

Our world today is becoming ever more complex, colored with uncertainty, tensions, and fragmentation. Old ways of thinking and acting are insufficient to deal with the many challenges we face today. We need new habits, perspectives, and priorities to navigate our world’s uncharted paths and to respond effectively to the obstacles ahead of us. Strong leaders in the future will require multiple-angle observation skills, encompassing both the bird’s-eye view and the perspectives on the ground. They will also need the confidence, knowledge, and skill to take bold actions that will turn the course of our destiny upward, shifting our current, challenging realities to the hopeful aspirations of tomorrow. Leadership in this regard is about making progress, a movement toward what is better, safer, and more prosperous for all of us, even in the face of new and overwhelming difficulties.
In Rethinking Asia 6: How Leadership Can Be Taught, eight CALI faculty members share their insights and practices on teaching leadership, encompassing both their ideas for positive change and their pedagogical theories on how leadership can be learned and exercised, using their personal and professional experiences as examples and cautionary tales. Showcasing frameworks taught at Harvard’s various graduate schools, this book provides readers with an opportunity to think more deeply and systematically about change, power, influence, and leadership, and to increase their own capacities as leaders and agents of change.
