Most books about corporate governance are written for a Western audience. , however, takes a different approach to leadership development by emphasizing the unique socio-cultural and judicial features as well as idiosyncratic board structures in Asia, particularly in an Indonesian context.

The principles of good corporate governance are accepted across borders, but the implementation and translation of transparency, fairness, accountability, and responsibility can differ quite distinctly from one country to another. Amidst global competitive turbulence, socio-economic volatility, and geopolitical uncertainty analyses how Asian boardroom leaders steer organizations and how boards can be more effective.

Boardmembers - appointed and entrusted by their owners - are guardians with a fiduciary duty to safeguard an organization and prepare it for a viable and sustainable future.
Business managers, investors, academics, students and those interested in doing business in Asia will benefit from ’s practical insights and recommendations to improve corporate governance and strengthen competitive advantage.
