Abstract

The Asian leading ways or governance has frequently been criticized as predecessor, out-of-date or archaic to the liberal democracy and individual freedom advocated by the west. Here, the researcherpractitioner examines that in Asia, should the leaders want to be successful leaders, the needs of their people must indeed be catered to. Leaders must listen to the people’s voice, and that is important. In a gist, it is as democratic as the Western style and ways of leadership. There is support for the leaders, and the leaders can or will continue to be in power as long as there is the support of the people or the Heavenly Mandate exists.
