Admiral Zheng He: The Collaborative Transformational Expert (Mandarin Article) [Chinese]

By Dr Michael Teng

China's greatest transformation expert was, arguably, Admiral Zheng He. Six hundred years ago, Zheng He served the Ming Dynasty's Emperor Yongle as an overseas ambassador. Long famous as a diplomat, Zheng He may also serve as an example of a collaborative business executive who transforms others. In contrast to autocratic monarchs or "lone wolf" chief executives, Zheng He exemplified collaboration even when seeking a goal with single-minded determination. This article also examines how Jack Welch, the former CEO of General Electric (GE) and renowned transformational manager also used collaborative efforts to bring GE to greater heights. He also mellowed down his style as a Neutron Jack in the earlier years of his career to Transformational Jack, following the footsteps of Zheng He's art of collaboration.
