Recognizing this, it creates an opportunity but it also creates one to change habits, behaviors and mind-sets toward common business/corporate challenges. It is also important to remember that Asia is a pretty diverse area and one can capture distinct behavioral tendencies (yes, a bit of over-generalization) amongst the South Asians, South-East (ASEAN) Asians, North Asians, Australians and Japanese. Getting to know more about the people, culturally, is a key part of being successful. Cheers, Hi again,

(Nothing’s Changed You Idiot) by Lui Sieh http://propitiousmanager.wordpress.com/2009/04/25/does-the-economic-crash-really-spell-the-end-of-staff-satisfaction-and-engagement-nothings-changed-you-idiot/#comment-44 Lui Sieh Sat, 02 May 2009 04:49:28 +0000 http://propitiousmanager.wordpress.com/?p=255#comment-44 Hi there, Nice blog and I agree with the point of your article - definitely, nothing's changed :-). Managers and leaders like any other "worker" out there will need to adjust according to the environment and maybe actually do more engagement big and small, discussions and communications to be more transparent etc. So-called doing more with less doesn't mean dump-and-run. It's an opportunity to do real team building and relationships strengthening. Hope people listen! Cheers, Hi there,
