Organizations now need to attract, retain, and motivate teams and employees across distance, time zones, and cultural differences. According to cross-cultural management and global leadership specialist Maya Hu-Chan, saving and building face will allow us to do just that. "Face" represents one' s self-esteem, self-worth, identity, reputation, status, pride, and dignity. The more face you have, the easier and faster you can get work done. But saving face means far more than not embarrassing someone. It is also about developing an understanding of the background and motivations of others to discover the unique facets each of us possess. Without such an understanding, even the most well-intentioned individuals risk causing others to lose face without even knowing it. Hu-Chan explains the concept of saving face through anecdotes and practical tools, such as her B. U. I. L. D. leadership model (Benevolence, Understanding, Interacting, Learning, and Delivery). This book illustrates how we can give face to create positive first impressions, avoid causing others to lose face, and, most importantly, build trust and lasting relationships inside and outside the workplace.
"Maya Hu-Chan shares a blueprint for becoming a more empathetic, self-aware, and inclusive leader. Saving Face guides us to consider different perspectives, to think first and speak last, and to respect others above all else. " --Frances Hesselbein, former CEO, Girl Scouts of the USA, and Presidential Medal of Freedom recipient"Maya is an expert on instilling the confidence you need to navigate cultural differences and, not surprisingly, does an excellent job of guiding you through the process. " --Ken Wheatley, former Senior Vice President, Sony Electronics"If you are a leader, budding leader, or individual contributor or you just want to be a better human being, this book is for you!" --Mike Howard, former Chief Security Officer, Microsoft Corporation
