Executive leadership is not, as I remind my colleagues and friends, the exclusive domain of one city, country or currency. Indeed, an effective CEO has a global perspective with an appreciation for the economic events beyond the Americas: He or she values diversification, and understands that Asia – in all its dynamism, innovation, financial and political influence, and international significance – is not a single place; it is a collection of places, plural, in which certain nations hold attractive investment opportunities, represented by fund managers who share this interest in professional success.
