We are all leaders now

BBC World Service - Business Daily, We are all leaders now

Why Chinese leaders like Xi Jinping are so uncharismatic.

Wondering why the great transfer of power in China was so dull? It's because China doesn't want a charismatic leader.

Xi Jinping may be one of the most powerful men in the world but he seems a little short of a quality that is normally considered essential for a top leader of even a small organisation - charisma.  Rod Wye of Chatham House tells Justin Rowlatt why that is.

We learn from John Kotter of Kotter International why management is out – we are all leaders now. And Lucy Kellaway of the FT on why the best way to judge a CEO is by the way he or she treats the intern.
