Valente G: Extraordinary

Extraordinary

A highly practical introduction to leadership that showcases real leaders who students can relate to.

Perspectives from Practice

Leadership

Forget AI. The Most Powerful Business Tool in Asia is Still a Handshake.

As technology accelerates and markets become more automated, the ability to build authentic human connections has become the most valuable and rarest skill in business. Nowhere is this truer than in Asia, where deals are made between people, not companies. A deep personal connection, grounded in cultural understanding, is what separates a transactional relationship from a transformative, multi-million-dollar partnership.

The Asia Code is the essential playbook for any professional looking to scale up their game in the world's most dynamic markets. This is not a theoretical guide; it is a practical, hands-on toolkit for mastering the human element of business in Asia. It provides the cultural intelligence you need to decipher the unwritten rules that govern success across the three critical markets that will define the future of the global economy:
Japan
South Korea
China



Inside, you will learn to:
Decode the Asian Mindset: Go beyond surface-level etiquette to understand the cultural logic that drives decisions in each country.
Master the Art of Connection: Build the trust and rapport that are the foundation of all successful ventures in Asia.
Navigate the Deep Waters: Turn cultural complexity from a barrier into your greatest strategic asset.
Close with Confidence: Learn the unwritten rules of negotiation, communication, and marketing that truly win deals.



In a world that thinks AI will replace us, The Asia Code is a powerful reminder that in Asia, the human factor is, and always will be, the key to outstanding success. This is the one book every professional serious about succeeding in Asia must have in their toolbox.

A Million-Dollar Handshake: How to Build Relationships that Win in Asia

The Asia Code

Terrible Golfer

AbstractMy dad is a lot of things. A great leader. An inspiring speaker. A fierce advocate for kids. But a good golfer? Not so much. My dad has a handicap of 20. For those who don't know, that means he's probably going to hit somewhere around 92 to 95 strokes on a good day. Breaking 90 is a rare, almost mythical event for him. For my friends and me, it's just another Saturday.Growing up in Suffolk, Virginia, I had the luxury of playing at some great courses. I was the captain of my high school golf team, and I was pretty good. I was also the captain of my soccer team and my eSports team. I learned that being a good leader meant you had to know the rules of the game. My dad, on the other hand, made his own rules on the course."Son," he would often say, "I'm not playing against the other guys; I'm playing against the course."I get the logic, but that doesn't explain why he keeps trying to hit a 3-wood from a hundred yards out of the rough. The man is a math whiz, but his on-course calculations are a tragedy. It's like he sees a straight line from tee to hole, ignoring all the trees, water hazards, and bunkers in between. I always tell him, "Dad, you have to play the course as it is, not as you want it to be."This is where the real fun begins. I'll give him a simple tip, something about club selection or a smoother swing, and he'll nod his head and then launch into a full-blown leadership lecture. He'll say something like, "Ivy (this is the nickname my parents gave me), that's what a good leader does. They don't just see the problem; they see the pathway to the solution. They don't try to force a shot they don't have; they play the ball where it lies and focus on the next shot."I've heard these lectures on the first tee, in the fairway, and in the sand trap. He says the golf course is a microcosm of leadership, where every shot is a decision, and every hole is a new challenge. He says you can't be a great leader without a healthy dose of humility, and you can't improve your golf game without acknowledging your weaknesses.I still don't understand why he doesn't just use an 8-iron from the fairway, but I've started to see his point. He's not just playing a game; he's working through a problem. Every bad shot is a chance to learn, and every good shot is a small victory.He's a terrible golfer, but he's a great leader. And maybe, just maybe, the two are more connected than I ever thought. What do you think?

What my dad's bad shots taught me about good leadership

Leadership Lessons From The Son Of A Terrible Golfer

What will your family look like in five years, when AI has reshaped careers, markets, and the length of a human life? Most families are reacting to each new shock as it comes. The Future Life Architect shows you how to design instead.
Alan Wen, founder of Peace of Mind Wealth Management, gives you a single family operating system that connects the pieces most plans keep apart: AI disruption and career change, longevity risk, real estate, insurance, annuities, taxes, digital legacy, faith, and how you raise your children. Every chapter delivers a planning lens, a stress test, and concrete next moves you can act on this week.
This is a book for parents who carry a mortgage, raise kids, support aging parents, and want a life that survives many possible futures, not just one. When your wealth, home, protection, values, and faith are organized into one structure, you have more than assets. You have direction and peace of mind. Move from reaction to design, from scattered accounts to connected systems, from anxiety to stewardship, and build a family life that lasts longer, stays steadier, and keeps its direction.

26 Timeless Principles of Leadership

Lead as a Chief

If you're facing high turnover, low motivation or the constant pressure of finding and keeping the right people, you're not alone. Today's leaders are navigating more complexity than ever - multigenerational teams with different expectations, women still battling invisible barriers and workplaces struggling to keep up with what people truly need to thrive. Yet, most leaders were never taught how to understand and support the humans behind the roles.

In this practical, straight¿talking guide, Jennifer Wawrzyniak shows you how to build a people¿first organisation grounded in trust, respect and genuine connection. Through her proven JEN¿Process Method, she offers a clear, actionable framework to help you see your business through your people's eyes, uncover what's holding them back and make changes that actually last.

You'll learn how to build strong team dynamics across generations, create processes that support performance without burning people out and attract and retain top talent by building a workplace where everyone - women, early¿career professionals, seasoned experts - feels valued and heard. Jennifer also shows you how to lead with confidence and empathy, navigate difficult conversations and create a values¿driven culture where people want to stay.

This book invites you to step into a more human way of leading, one that embraces diversity, honours lived experience and recognises that people are the heartbeat of every successful business.
