Episode 10 – Leadership In The Canadian Asian Context (Part 1)
It’s been a long time coming, but it’s time to dive deeper into a critical issue that has been a recurring theme of our podcast: Leadership In The Canadian Asian context. In fact, it’s such a big conversation that we’re doing our first multi-episode arc focusing on this topic. Our first part covers some of the history of leadership in this context, how that has shaped the way people lead today, and what have been some of the responses to the position and authority of leadership.
