Leadership Without Easy Answers by Ronald A. Heifetz
Heifetz’s theory of leadership is quite relevant to China’s current

He presents how leading a group to resolve an adaptive challenge

(b) creating the emotional and organizational space to address the
issue; (c) keeping the group focused on the right issues; (d) giving
the work back to the people.

The Power of Mindful Learning by Ellen J. Langer
Langer presents the case that learning is most powerful when the

process, and having learners seek answers themselves instead of
focusing on the “right answer.” Her findings have extensive implications
for Asian learners.
