Frank Gallo and my book
Frank Gallo’s comments as shown on the back cover:
“Gilbert has written the book we all wish we could write. It offers a very concise description of the world’s economic, environmental, social and governmental problems but, more importantly, it tells us what we can do about them now, before it is too late. The book is jam packed with interesting data, much of which is from China – the new epicenter of toxic capitalism. Although it can be used as a great reference, it is not merely an academic tome. It has an armchair feel and is a terrific read. Bravo!
Frank T. Gallo, Ph.D., Chief Leadership Consultant, Aon Hewitt Greater China, and the author of Business Leadership in China.”
Frank Gallo, author
I know Frank since several years and he is a well known writer and expert in China, so I was (pleasantly) surprised by his comments.
He might not remember, but I was at one of his book presentations organized by AMCHAM, on 16 October 2008. Over 40 AmCham-China members attended the luncheon at the Westin Chaoyang. Frank discussed his new book “Business Leadership in China” also shed light on similarities between Western and Chinese leadership practices. He talked about the importance of understanding China’s unique leadership competencies. He believes that generally those wanting to achieve success in the Chinese business environment should observe and follow the approaches taken by their Chinese colleagues.
