China is known as being a modern super economic power; however, the philosophers by whom the businessmen in China follow are anything but modern. Chinese businesses have adapted the teachings of ancient philosophers and use their wisdom to transform themselves into excellent companies. Several Chinese companies are Fortune 500 companies - and these companies have gotten to their positions because of adapting these philosophies. Overseas Chinese are early adopters of the ancient Chinese philosophers have benefited and controlled the economies in Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia, Taiwan, Thailand, Hong Kong, etc. One of the greatest transformational leaders in China was Admiral Zheng He. His experiences and lessons learnt have echoed down throughout history. His approach to peace, in a time of war, is actually utilized quite regularly in boardrooms albeit not as well known as Sun Zi. Zheng He is considered a business transformation guru and his techniques used to garner hundreds of fleet of ships and thousands of people to take the risk to travel with him in treacherous seas and faraway lands. And Zheng He left behind goodwill with all the countries that he visited. This is corporate transformation at its best. By gleaning from Zheng He, we can follow his footsteps for our business life. Zheng He, along with several other Chinese philosophers have transformed the way the Chinese do business. This book looks at his life and teachings, along with several other well-known philosophers' lives such as Sun Zi, Confucius etc, and shows how we can utilise these great teachers' techniques and teachings in our business life . May the wisdom and lessons of ancient Chinese teachings guide you and prepare you for business and beyond.
