Alpha is practicing Poly-centric Approach based on its preference to recruitment local manager for their knowledge of the local market, while guiding principal like values are driven from parent company. I would still stick to this approach as has its benefits.
I would suggest adjusting the company's philosophy. While the CEO serves as an admirable role model, I believe it would be beneficial for the company to emphasize building trust, creating value, and fostering a pioneering spirit. It's important to remember that CEOs are not permanent fixtures; they can be replaced as they come and go.
