LDR 300
Mr. GPower, in the reading, described as the capacity to cause change and influence. Ho Ching’s has been recognized and ranked at 18 in Asia’s most powerful people. According to the reading and further research, Ching is an influential leader because she brought a company from failing. In this basis, the company is successful not only with the CEO but the workers he or she employ. In receiving awards, she must have influenced someone to receive recognition. When Temasek Holdings was losing revenue Ching step up to the challenge to bring the company back on their feet. She did not focus on the company but also expanding the company’s potential. She has the power to influence because she started from the bottom and rose to become the CEO.
In her influential speech, she has disclosed the company’s annual report proving the employees and to the public that the company’s performance is changing for the better and the results from the worker 's achievements. According to a previous class in Phoenix, Accounting, Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) provides company annual reports to the public, but in some part of Asia these information are not public. Ching’s bold decision to make this public gave her employee a reason to trust her decision even more.
When Ching took in the position as CEO she wants to make the company more diversified, with third invested in Singapore, third in Asia and some of the developed eastern countries.

    In China, because of the long history and thick traditional thoughts, Chinese leadership model has its own feature. The traditional relationship between leader and subordinates is like monarch and ministers in the history. The subordinates comply with the leader completely. This kind of conventional Confucian culture, which originated from thousand years age, makes long-term influences on China and formed that management styles in Chinese enterprises of the following two characteristics (“Culture of China,” 2009). Those are even quite strange for some leaders and employees with international background. The Chinese style leaders are not like empowering to their subordinates to carry out the work. In this established hierarchy, the leader has great power, while the subordinates only have the…

    After reading The Prime Minster Powerful Better Half no I would not describe Ho Ching as an influential leader. According to the textbook influence can be defined as “the change in a target agent attitudes, value, beliefs, or behaviors as the result of influence tactics.” In order for you to understand my point of view I must specify what influence tactics are. “Influence tactics refer to one personal actual behaviors designed to change another person’s attitudes, beliefs, values, or behaviors.” In this mini case not once did it express Ho Ching’s abilities to change behaviors of others or her own. Yes, she is the CEO of Temasek but not once was there an example giving about other staff in the company, or in what manner she influenced anything beneficial to the staff. Meaning the title of CEO doesn’t directly correlate with the influence of others. A CEO can show up to work every day and not communication with the staff in the office. Next, as we learned early in the class a leader is someone who bring positive change. Ho great idea for positive change was the release of Temasek annual reports. As stated in the case “under Ho’s leadership Temasek has decided to publicly disclose its annual report with details of its performance.” This is a positive change which would make Ho’s a leader. But honestly this isn’t very important. The annual report is less important because, in the USA under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) every company annual reports are publicly displayed via the internet. So I would not view this as a vast achievement. Although this is what the whole mini case is centered on. Ho’s has made it to CEO status but once again this case never points out any way that she has influenced the value of others. Also the one leadership task that she did take on wasn’t enough to convince me that she did something drastic. For the reasons giving above I am not convinced that Ho is an influential leader.…
