developing and newly developing economies, each with its own strengths, weaknesses, obstacles, opportunities and challenges.
For instance, while China is currently fighting a devastating pollution and environmental problem as the US, Japan, Britain and others have had to do before her, she's also been busy moving forward on other fronts.
For instance, consider that China has now become the world’s third-largest research article producer behind only the European Union bloc & the United States.
In fact, China spent a greater share of global R&D, based on total dollars invested, than that of the United States.
Further, it's hard to imagine that the economies of China & other Asian countries together had more than one-third of the world's total US$1.435-trillion spending on R&D in 2011.
As the developing regions of Asia become newly developed, new leadership skills will be critical. We are seeing this with the fantastic success of Korea on the world stage now.

Meanwhile, certain highly developed countries in the Asian region, such as Japan, have become brittle and ossified, making leadership again critical if they are to successfully re-invigorate, rejuvenate and reboot their economy.
Lastly, it should be obvious to all, that better leadership development is critical to the Asian region's long-term growth and we at the Asia-Pacific Coaching Alliance (APCA) have made it our mission to do our part.
