Leadership on a Blockchain: What Asia Can Teach Us About Networked Leadership is an authoritative text that goes to the foremost digitally connected markets of the world in Asia, and accounts for how leaders and teams are exercising leadership Darwinism to adapt for agility and connectivity.

The book begins by offering a contextual grounding for new leadership ideas to emerge. It contends that a "new geography of leadership" is unfolding as the world shifts away from unified globalist ideology and a dominant Western view of leadership. It moves on to describe how Asia is uniquely placed to become the leadership sandbox for the future. It accounts for how leaders and teams are exercising leadership Darwinism to adapt for agility and connectivity. To facilitate learning for the readers, this book includes creatives features such as the following:

- An abbreviated history of significant leadership milestones in the last century

- A leadership manifesto for the digital age

- A practitioners’ starter kit to reimagining leadership in their organizations.

Leaving behind the typical discourse of leadership anchored in power, control, and hierarchy, it offers a provocative call to all businesspeople to apply the principles of one of the most innovative technologies – blockchain – to reimagine leadership for transparency, trust, and distributed decision-making. The book concludes by distilling critical lessons for global leaders to take forward and lead a revolution in their own organizations.

Sharing first-person accounts from leaders and their teams in China, Singapore, India, and Indonesia, and combining this with insights from the author’s own research, Leadership on a Blockchain will be of use to leaders around the world looking to transform their own leadership. It will also be of interest to academics and students of leadership, change management, organizational behavior, and cultural studies.
