John and Doris Naisbitt Speaking Topics

  • The Chinese Way of Leadership

    Even Chinas harshest critics are beginning to admit the remarkable qualities of Chinas leadership in the fast evolution from a dirt poor country to a major global player in only 30 years? What enabled China to turn a demoralized, patronized and poorly educated workforce in a country of a billion people to become proactive and competitive?

    China has reinvented itself as if it were a huge enterprise. It has developed leadership principles which are focusing on a change in thinking rather than detailed directives. The enterprise developed a culture which fit the demands of the enterprise and pointedthe workforce in the direction of modernity and wealth. Economically and politically Chinas leadership and its people have quickly moved from imitation to innovation.

    The Chinese leadership model is context-oriented. It focuses more on the environment in which decisions are made than on having specific answers. Western seminars and trainings which for decades have been based exclusively on Western theories and practices could gain from exposure to the fresh and successful Chinese leadership model using the following subjects:

    Emancipating minds for innovation and growth

    Balancing top-down leadership with bottom-up initiatives

    Establishing strategies and delegating implementation

    Managing uncertainty through contextual leadership

    Leveraging diversity to manage complexity

    Developing global mindsets

    Balancing personal and global paradoxes

    Becoming a values-driven leader

  • What is "The China Strategy" and How Can You Use It to Succeed?

    Chinas rise is evident in almost every field. Since 1990 its economy has moved from # 137 in the world to # 3 in the world. 450 of the Fortune 500 companies are investing in and have a presence in China, Chinas foreign-exchange reserves have risen to 2 trillion; 2/3 of the economy is now in the private sector. Strategically efficient in its political strategies and economic vigor, when will it become a challenger to Americas leading political position and economic competitiveness?

    What is the secret behind building world-class infrastructure, majestic cities, state-of-the-art airports and establishing globally competitive enterprises in record time? What can we learn from Chinas strategy? How will Chinas determination to become the innovation country of the world impact on Americas corporate world?

    While China will take two or three decades to catch up with the Unites States, if it ever does, no viable decision can be made without taking Chinas economic and political rise into account.
