Asia Pacific Leadership Outlook: A Moment of Opportunity For Asia - New White Paper Released

Jan. 5, 2010 - PRLog -- In many ways, the global economic recession has wiped the slate clean for many institutions – and individuals – across Asia.

Given what they know about the quest for truly responsible business and institutional leadership, executive search firm Transearch International is delighted to share the exceptionally well informed perspectives of just some of their top consultants from across Asia. The practice experiences and personal insights of Transearch International consultants from across Asia are captured in the White Paper entitled 'Asia Pacific Leadership Outlook: A Moment of Opportunity For Asia'.

Business leaders intoxicated by the idea that their enterprises would ride the fortunes of high growth national and regional economies have learned some hard lessons about the interdependencies of the global economy. Non-executive directors and shareholders have witnessed a day of reckoning for companies that failed to curtail excessive risk-taking. Consumers have also been forced to reset expectations in the face of political instability, corporate downsizing and new pressures related to energy conservation, an increasingly competitive job market, and the need for more robust retirement saving.

The days when, "We didn't see this coming...", and, "Who could have imagined..." provided the requisite political and organizational cover for lousy chief executives and disconnected non-executive board members should be over. Effective risk management and a service-minded leadership ethic should be the new standards of organizational stewardship.

Business leaders can no longer lead in a vacuum nor overlook the hard business lessons learned beyond the Pacific Rim. Non-executive directors and shareholders now know the high price of indifference and financial instability. Consumers have a better understanding of the personal risk and opportunity of the business cycle.
