Abstract: In this paper, we set out to study what constitutes managerial leadership excellence in Vietnam. In so doing, based on a 208 sample employing factor analysis and structural equation modelling, we have developed a ten dimension cultural model where Confucian cultural values with some aspects of Dharma influence managerial behaviours, where a leader is seen to be both a team and an organizational player. These values are moderated by Gender differences, with female managers more supportive of what constitutes an excellent leader than male managers. The cultural values are also moderated by a significant regional difference between the North and South.
