I consult with major corporations and governments and lectures about management, leadership, strategy, economics and geopolitics. I'm also an expert on the differences between Asian and Western leadership styles. My most recent article is “Asian and American Leadership Styles: How They Differ,” published in the Peking University Business Review, August, 2007. I'm also a member of the Innovation Council of Malaysia, a ministry level council chaired by the Prime Minister. My most recent book is Master of Illusions: Presidential Leadership, Strategic Independence and America’s Public Culture, published in 2007 by Cambridge University Press. The book explores America’s role in the world in the aftermath of the second Iraqi War. Other recent books include three studies of executive leadership: Principles of Management; Leadership: How to Lead, How to Live; and Principles of Human Resource Management -- each published in 2005 and 2006 by MindEdge Press. Another book, Having It All: Six Steps for Putting Both Your Career and Your Family First, published in 2004 by Prentice-Hall, offers an effective approach for people to balancing their work and family lives.
