This was an enlightening piece Rei. That was a nice comparison between eastern and western business philosophy and mores. As a brand consultant, I see many leaders that aren't necessarily just self-centered, or looking out for others' welfare. Many seem lost, and lacking vision and inspiration. It feels like they are living in a brand bubble of their own making and are cut off from reality and lived experience of people.
Great article - thanks for sharing. Sadly I'm seeing more and more people in leadership roles with a sole focus on serving their self interests for personal gain and power. The best leaders serve their employees, customers, partners, communities - they act with integrity and lead by example. I recently read that there are two types of leaders - confident and insecure. The confident leaders trust and empower others, whereas the insecure are driven by fear and ego. There are too many insecure leaders today!
