Much has been written on how to build and grow successful corporations. And yet, traditionally, management gurus often hesitated to explore the role that culture played in corporate success and growth. Recently however, and especially in our straitened economic climate, it has become more acceptable to surmise that culture does indeed play a significant role and to explore alternate, culturally-infused paths to corporate success.Author Lena Tran is right on the money in her new book from Happy About, Compassionate Vietnamese American CEOs. She explores the role of culture, particularly Vietnamese culture, in creating business success. Interviewing several community visionaries--including one billionaire and a couple of millionaires--who worked for major high-tech enterprises, Lena explores the cultural context and values they brought to bear to build happy and successful companies, even in turbulent economic times. Using a rigorous and analytic interview approach, she describes how success can be hinged on core values built upon cultural beliefs, family traditions and time-honored, culturally-contextual leadership practices.The author's purpose is to nurture an understanding of the deep connections between culture and corporate success, and at the same time tell an interesting and engaging story. In this she succeeds with remarkable ease and clarity. She narrates how each of her interviewees sought to blend their deep-rooted cultural beliefs with western leadership theories and practices of business management. She reveals how, consciously or subliminally, core values linked to cultural beliefs and family traditions shaped leadership practices. Vietnamese culture has always focused on respect for others and self, consideration for employees, 'saving face' for families and a faith in karma and Lena expertly shows how these can serve as cornerstones to create happy, cohesive and successful companies. Compassionate Vietnamese American CEOs, a great read under any circumstances, becomes doubly relevant in today's economic scenario.

As a society, we are geared to worship work and to treat it as paramount to our identity. When you meet somebody new, one of the first things you get asked typically is, "What do you do?" or "Where do you work?" While this commitment to a work mentality and ethic is excellent, it is not without its downside. Too often, work occupies so much of a person's physical, emotional and mental bandwidths that it becomes difficult to find the balance between work and everything else. Health, family, and connections--they all end up taking a back seat.Alexandra Navarro's Blue Leaf methodology evolved after a close study of work-life balance or the lack thereof, and the toll that a loss of balance takes on individuals and on society as a whole. To date, Blue Leaf techniques have proven successful for over 200 middle to C-level corporate executives, cutting across gender and hierarchy. In How To Balance Your Life, Alexandra condenses, for the first time, the experiences that have helped scores of professionals pursue happiness, reach their dreams, meet the aspirations of their families and yet confidently meet and exceed the demands and challenges of work.As Alexandra explains in her book, the Blue Leaf method achieves balance through four touch points--physical, emotional, mental and spiritual. Through step-by-step techniques and in small, measurable increments, readers will learn to make the lifestyle changes to bring their lives back into balance, using personal will and dedication.If you are a corporate professional who feels that a better work-family-life balance can be achieved either in your own life or in the lives of those around you, then Alexandra Navarro's wonderful new book How To Balance Your Life is certain to be a rewarding, fulfilling and deeply satisfying read.
