What You Learn from Western
Leaders
● The leaders are to make decisions, so they
try to know the decision-making processes.
● Namely, they try to gain the specific
knowledge to evaluate the alternatives.
● Instead of delegating the authority, they try
to gain the expertise of their own and ask
for the pertinent information and
accountability.
● They want to expand their authorities and
build their empires.
