A. Introduction
In an ever more globalized business environment, how can culturally diverse teams learn to work together? Global markets are increasingly taking advantage of the strength and economic advantages of a diverse global workforce. It is common on international projects to find multi-cultural teams located in multiple countries. It is for these reasons that it is really important, for each of us to understand the ideal of leadership from our own culture, so that it twill help us understand how and why those managers succeed so well in our culture. Would the same technique be as successful in other cultures?
In order to answer those questions we have been asked to compare two successfulleaders : one from our own culture and one from Taiwan. That comparison will help us to understand if they are some common characteristics, independently the culture, that would be useful to successful managers. It is logigical that leadership styles may vary among different countries or cultures. European managers, for example tend to be more people oriented than Americans or Japanese managers.
