Leaders who acquire a public profile far beyond their core business. Think trump, branson, and a host of others. But is a flamboyant style and diversification into sports or media necessarily good for the bottom line . My guest today is one of asias best known businessmen, Tony Fernandes, boss of airasia, Football Club owner, one time formula 1 investor, and a dabbler in reality tv.
