Hi Paul – thanks for the mention. Also, nice blog! I’m finding some useful information in here. Keep up the good work.
To add to this list, I often find ideas and insight about hiring and managing in Asia from the region’s leading tech blogs, e.g. Tech in Asia and e27. They tend to focus more on startups and tech firms, where the rules are often a bit different from more traditional companies, but there’s still much to learn from them. They’re not HR or leadership blogs per se, but they often have founder’s stories and tips for building businesses that relates to your work.
Cheers,
Will
Thanks for pointing me to these blogs. Will certainly check them out.
