World-class Leadership
Based on the careful analysis of business market research and numerous interviews with people who lead today's world economy, Tetsuya Abe proposes a new leadership theory. With decades of experience in business and by studying leadership and the hierarchy of the workplace, Abe focuses on the comparison between Western and Eastern-style leaderships. His own conclusion is that these two different styles should be integrated into one, which is suited for the new global market.

Abe's World-class Leadership is a combination of west and east, old and new; and most of all, it is a fine work of nonfiction full of anecdotes of world-class leaders, including Takeo Fukui (president of Honda), Fumio Otsubo (president of Matsushita; Panasonic), Masayoshi Son (president of Softbank), from Japan, and from overseas, Jack Welch (ex-CEO of GE), Louis Gerstner (ex-CEO of IBM). Their true-life examples teach us how to become global business leaders worthy of respect and attention.
So, how do we need to change to become World-class leaders? There are three crucial features that changed the world dramatically in the past few decades: Internetization, economic globalization and diversification. In order to tackle these situations, we have to start “local"; from individuals to teams, to the global market and finally to the whole social world. In each chapter, he dissects the components of World-class Leadership divided into four categories: self leadership, team leadership, global leadership and social leadership, which are the most unique features in this book.
