This book is also a valuable resource for researchers. Feng Fenwick Jing is to be congratulated for his excellent research that makes a valuable contribution to the study of leadership.Not only are the approach, structure, methodology and data collection of the highest standard, but the results open up many avenues for future research. My hope is that researchers in China and elsewhere will continue this ground-breaking investigation.
