Asia's banks stand on the edge of a new era. However, challenges from both outside and inside the industry are affecting how they engage this potential. A new breed of banking leader is arising out of this environment, which has seen a series of shocks over the last ten years. As the developing markets emerge and open their markets to outside competition, global banks like Citigroup, Bank of America and the Royal Bank of Scotland are vying with local and regional banks for top spots in Asia's dynamic economies. This book examines the characters and leadership qualities of the CEOs leading these banks, and defines what it is that makes their banks significant as they gear up for the exciting growth years ahead.
