As the founder and managing partner at 4stones Cross-Cultural Consulting Group, Donny Huang ’94 often meets Western expatriates struggling to understand their Chinese counterparts. “The No. 1 complaint I hear is that Chinese managers lack initiative,” Huang said March 15, 2012, during the Developing Leaders for Global Roles Summit, a two-day event organized by the Najafi Global Mindset Institute at Thunderbird School of Global Management. “They are not proactive.”
Western expatriates often interpret the passivity as a sign of poor leadership potential, but Huang said a deeper look at Chinese culture provides better understanding.
He said China is a collectivist, hierarchical society that values obedience. Good children, good students and good workers are obedient. “It’s a totally different model,” Huang said. “But some people go in there and see the obedience, and they say, ‘Those guys have no leadership potential.’”
Western companies that work to understand cultural differences in China can find ample leadership ability among local managers. Huang suggests a variation of the American phrase, “When in Rome, do as the Romans do.”
“Even if you live in Rome for 20 years, you will not be a Roman,” he said. “But you can learn from the Romans to become a better American or a better Chinese.”

To show you special beauty, silk hat scarves are made with unique creativity. A common tying method is similar to the head scarf of Muslim women. Take a square silk scarf and fold it into a triangle; create a knot at the back of the neck, wrapping hair with the triangle; pulling both ends back to the top of the head and twisting them into a spiral shape, and then make a knot at the top of the head.
