I had the opportunity to have dinner this week with Professor Hai Wen, VP of Beijing University, at the Capital Grille in Boston. My motivation for meeting Professor Wen was to connect with people who could help put leadership development on the top of China's political and economic agenda.

I started off talking about the article I wrote last May, "Better Leaders, Better China," during which I told him that I admired China's new president, Hu Jintao. Professor Wen responded by asking me a lot of questions about Masterful Coaching, even asking me if my aspiration was to coach Mr. Hu. I responded with a mixture of boldness and humility....yes!
