About the book
As we face shifting global power dynamics, capabilities to forge shared security and prosperity in our region are key to Australia’s success in Asia.
For 30 years, the Asialink Leaders Program has cultivated the Asia capabilities, strategic mindset, cultural intelligence and relational depth, essential to navigate complexity, build trust and pivot quickly to deliver results in our region. To celebrate this milestone, Asialink has published a 30-year retrospective celebrating Australians who have put this key message into action.
The publication, Asialink Leaders: 30 Years of Asia Success, celebrates a pioneering cohort of 1,200 alumni, comprising Australian leaders across sectors as varied as politics, agriculture, finance, art, technology, sport, education and Indigenous enterprise.
It offers exclusive interviews with 15 leaders, sharing vivid accounts of their personal and professional experiences developing Asia capability and learning the lessons required to succeed on the ground in Asia.
