China is the second largest economy today. This means that for business it is a significant player in their success and a place not to be ignored. But on a grass roots level what does this emergence mean for business and therefore leaders and how do executive coaches contribute?
China is a market where opportunities flow in abundance. This makes it a very exciting place to be but also a place where you can easily get caught up in the energy and excitement of all possibilities and lose focus. Success stories in this market are about staying focused but flexible, having a clear strategy and then executing, basically making things happen. The speed to market here is all about making things happen. Unlike other markets, development occurs at such a speed here, that the customer is part of the process. New technologies are assembled onsite by the customer, with them playing an active role in the testing and developing of change.
