The market for leadership books in Malaysia is dominated by imported or translated Western/Asian business leaders and personalities. Often, their work experiences are not relatable to a Malaysian audience, their way of thinking and working is not always in sync with the realities of the Malaysian workplace.

WHEN THE CHICKEN DIES, EVERYONE CRIES is written by a Malaysian CEO who has led Western and Asian teams using her unique Malaysian perspectives. She calls her leadership style – Sekampung Leadership – this is leadership inspired by her childhood growing up in the kampung and applied to a globalised world.

The most compelling leadership wisdom can come from the most unexpected place.

In a corporate jungle obsessed with hype, office politics and the never-ending race for promotion and power, textbook leadership skills are failing to bridge the gap between management and their most precious commodity – people.

From her humble roots growing up in a Malaysian village, Boonsiri Somchit shows what it takes to truly engage and lead from the heart. Taking inspiration from her childhood adventures with her rag-tag gang, Boonsiri brings her authentic insights to leadership, life and dealing with rogue chickens.
