With the creation of the AEC in 2015, companies have increased incentive to look at ASEAN for growth. But what leadership model should companies invest in? Given the context of ASEAN, we cannot simply import a model from Europe or USA. This presentation shares a first look at SMU's ASEAN leadership model and presents the initial findings of our CEO interviews. Research was funded by SMU's Executive Development Office.

12. Let’s Not Forget Diversity
“What could possibly be a common denominator for managing
business in a region where nations are governed by the military, a
Sultanate, a Communist party, one-party systems and multi-party
democracies-- not to mention the huge differences in cultural values,
ethnic origin, religion, education, income and demographics?”
Quote from SMU White Paper on the ASEAN Management Model
13. Two Other Trends That Matter

Urbanization and One Belt, One Road
16. What is a Regional Management Model?
§ A management model answers the question: what
constitutes a good and successful company for the
region?
§ A region model is not just an economic model, it is
also social and cultural. It impacts governance and
business leadership.
§ The only other regional model is the EU. ASEAN
can draw lessons from Europe. European integration
triggered management development from national to
regional (most already did international)
§ Some European regional innovations such as top
business schools, internships and Erasmus exchanges
can help the ASEAN human development challenge.

20. 6 Conclusions from the Interviews
1. CEOs need a management model for ASEAN
2. The ASEAN model is a regional stakeholder model
3. ASEAN Management is defined by agreed
behaviours and values consistent with “the ASEAN
Way”
4. Companies need to make changes in order to
develop ASEAN management and leadership
5. HR is Challenged by transition to ASEAN
6. External partners play a role in defining the
ASEAN model
With our diversity we are closer to the European model than the
American one. We need to work closely together because we have
two big neighbours and they will continue to drive the integration of
ASEAN. -- Chanin Donavanik, Dusit
21. 1. CEOs talked about an “ASEAN Way”
§ For CEOs the ASEAN model is built on relationships
of trust and operates with informal agreements
across a very diverse group of countries.
§ It represents is new stage of management
development that goes beyond the family-based and
nationalistic models.
§ CEOs called it the “ASEAN Way” which aligns
management with the way political and economic
relations are conducted amongst the ten ASEAN
countries.
ASEAN management is more like a network of partnerships than the highly
legislated European model. You will have strong nations within ASEAN but you
won’t have one central power. So businesses will partner across the region
rather than building a big ASEAN office. -- J.P. Orbeta, Ayala
22. 2. CEOs talked about Stakeholders
§ ASEAN management serves shareholders but takes into
account other stakeholders.
§ Stakeholders represent diverse political systems with their
national interests, NGOs and worker associations
representing very different levels of economic development.
§ ASEAN has itself become a major stakeholder with the
AEC and the ASCC.
First is the ability to manage multiple stakeholders. Second, at the country
level things are very diverse, so you need to manage diversity. Third is
demographics: as a region we are very young – so we need a management
model for young people. Fourth, our soft infrastructures are underdeveloped,
so you have to deal with ambiguity and uncertainty. Fifth, entrepreneurs grow
their businesses largely by private capital and family ownership rather than
public capital. --Piyush Gupta, DBS
23. 3. CEOs talked about ASEAN values
CEOs in ASEAN describe a good
company as one where the management
model is built on agreed values of
humanism, empathy and inclusiveness.
Leaders in ASEAN are expected to be
able to work with people at different
levels of the organisation and with
diverse sensitivities.

24. Malakasit: an authentic ASEAN management concept?
Project Malasakit Addressing Poverty in
the Philippines
"Malasakit means genuine care,
deep concern, accountability, and
sense of ownership rolled into one
virtue. It’s putting the interest of
others above one’s own. One
usually exercises or displays
malasakit for an organization, a
group, a family or individual for
whom one feels a deep sense of
gratitude (or ‘utang na loob’ in
Filipino.) It’s a way of returning the
kindness and generosity one has
received in a meaningful way.
Applied to a company, it’s about
having a personal stake for the
outcome. It means working above
and beyond the call of duty.
Person-to-person, it means ‘I’ll go
out of my way to help you.”
- JoJo Fresnedi, Manila
25. Musyawarah and mufakat
ASEAN contributed to [the region’s] unexpected outbreak of
peace in at least three important ways. First, it cultivated a
culture of “musyawarah and mufakat” (“consultation and
consensus” in Indonesian).

26. 4. The Actions Companies can Take for ASEAN
1. Build a regional model for your company
2. Re-identify your stakeholders
3. Assess you strengths and weaknesses to
manage across ASEAN
4. Build an effective ecosystem (HR,
Professional Service Providers, Education
Partners, Management Associations)
Managers lack knowledge and experience of other countries in
ASEAN -- the school system has to prepare people for ASEAN.

28. ASEAN Management and Leadership Challenges
§ CEOs identified several strengths in the ASEAN model: it is
flexible, creative and adaptable to change.
§ However they identified gaps and weaknesses require
significant development efforts and changes
§ CEOs want to improve the ASEAN “brand value” and
accelerate readiness for ASEAN.
§ CEOS communicated a need to develop talent mobility,
talent sourcing and talent development in their ASEAN
management models.
Our strength in finding compromise is also a weakness. In
making decisions we are not always transparent and we show
respect to our hierarchical superior even when that person is
not the most competent to make a decision. -- Farehana BT
Hanapia, Petronas
29. How CEOs Assess ASEAN
Strengths
• Openness, flexibility, creativity,
speed
• High EQ, relational skills, trust,
listening
• In some countries
• Risk-taking
• Willingness to work in other
ASEAN countries
Weaknesses
• Leadership responsiblity
• Unwillingness to assume
personal accountability
• Avoidance of making tough
calls as a leader
• In many counties
• Lack of transparency;
complacency with corruption
(Singapore cited as the
exception)
• In some some countries
• Lack of adequate tertiary
education at management level
• Employees lack an adequate
level of English
• Unwillingness to work in other
ASEAN countries (Philippines
cited as the exception)
31. How CEOs See Leadership Development
The biggest challenge is to develop people at the middle and higher
management levels to be autonomous. The boss cannot make all
the decisions or know what to do. Managers need to take initiative. –
- Marc Steinmeyer, Tauzia

32. 5. Can HR Play a Strategic Role?
NO: HR is not a strong driver for ASEAN management. A stronger
driver is technology: for example, technology is borderless in ASEAN.
HR needs to meet the challenge of engaging the workforce.
-- J.P. Orbeta, Ayala
Yes: HR will need a fundamental transformation. HR will have to build an
ASEAN workforce of expatriates while today the HR systems are very
nationalistic. -- Batara Sianturi, Citibank Indonesia
Define the Strategic
HR Mission
• Does HR have a role in
building ASEAN?
• If so, the HR mission needs
to be redefined
Think differently
• Think regionally
• Take leadership
• Build the ASEAN generation
Meet challenges
• new business models
• more competitive
• ASEAN mobility
• Apply technology
