Can adaptive leadership work in China, and similar cultures?
Mohammed Raei
(Ph.D Candidate Leadership and Change)
Workshop description: China is known for its strong network of personal connections guanxi, and conflict avoidance; to this day most of the research has focused on transformational leadership and traditional Chinese leadership. However, as China is undergoing rapid change, a change focused framework of leadership is needed. In the West, Adaptive Leadership has been one of the go to change methods. In this workshop, key concepts of Chinese culture, and Chinese leadership will be discussed. Moreover, key concepts of adaptive leadership will be introduced. Finally, through two interactive activities several suggestions (including the facilitator’s) will be discussed on how to make the adaptive leadership framework applicable in a Chinese or multicultural setting.
