Ideas on Leaders and Current Issues among Cambodian Students
(CamEd Business School, December 30, 2017) Douglas Mani-Kandt
Using data gathered in a course on leadership, this paper examines two key perspectives from Cambodian university students: i) who they see as effective leaders, and ii) which current issues and problems they believe are the most critical ones facing their country.
