My expectation was to meet new people, observe living conditions and to live in their moment –


As a Study Abroad student of Concordia University and Jiangxi University of Finance and Economics (JUFE) , we needed to: •Listen •Participate in lectures

•Journal•Meet with businesses - to get a better understanding economic goals


Understand the leadership of china was my focus..

There is much to understand regarding the history of China and the leadership styles that encompassed the revolution and where they are today...

It was hard – very hard with very little or no background; it’s hard to understand a country that has been changing its leadership for the last 5,000 years! 5Study Abroad Leadership and Chinese

Culture Revolution - Kunesh-Barnett 2016

Leadership styles differ from country to country, however there are traits that should be obvious in an effective leader, but with that said, there no specific characteristics that make a leader successful, however different characteristics matter in different situations.

It’s not that you can't learn to be an effective leader, but you need to comprehend the assortment of approaches to leadership, so that you can use the accurate approach for your own situation.


Even the First Emperor, Qin Shi Huang , who ruled from 246 BCE to 210 BCE managed his leadership styles, although a bit more raw, he managed to create magnificent and enormous construction projects. He also caused both incredible cultural and intellectual growth, but had much destruction within China.


Now, we move up 5,000 years...

Cultural Revolution has been difficult to understand for

many.

Between 1966 and 1976, the young people of China rose up in an effort to purge the nation

of the "Four Olds": old customs, old culture, old

habits and old ideas!


Three nineteenth and twentieth century Chinese leaders of this time that really stand out are the:

Consultative ConferenceConsultative Conference


Mao Zedong - 毛泽东 / 毛澤東Alternative title: Mao Tse-tung

The world is ours, the nation is ours, society is ours. If we do not speak, who will speak? If we do not act, who will act?”

Although his great ideas turned deadly and horrific, he was still affirmed as a great leader and ideologist of the Chinese Communist revolution.

Mao thus ultimately adopted four goals for the Cultural Revolution: to replace his designated successors with leaders more faithful to his current thinking; to rectify the Chinese Communist Party; to provide China’s youths with a revolutionary experience; and to achieve some specific policy changes so as to make the educational, health care, and cultural systems less elitist.

Zhou Enlai

Zhou Enlai, the second of interesting leaders, supported Mao Zedong in the latter's Cultural Revolution attack on the ingrained Party bureaucracy, and later played a critical role in rebuilding political institutions and mediating numerous political arguments.

Zhou welcomed President Nixon to China in February 1972, and signed the historic Shanghai Communiqué for the Peoples Republic of China.

Deng Xiaoping邓小平（鄧小平）

Deng Xiaoping's, goal in 1976 was to set China back on the course of economic development. Deng encouraged farmers to engage in private entrepreneurship and sideline businesses in order to supplement their incomes.

Deng also wanted to set up an arrangement whereby leadership succession would take place according to legal guidelines rather than personality struggles. 13Study Abroad Leadership and Chinese Culture Revolution - Kunesh-Barnett 2016

Alternative title: Teng Hsiao-p’ing

So what leadership styles did these leaders present and how does than pertain to this assignment and what does that mean for the leadership styles in China?

Transformational, ideological, political, and organizational leadership are a few leadership styles that may have played a major factor in the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution making a turning point in China history. A transformational leader: •show integrity•develop a strong and inspirational vision of the future•inspire people to achieve this vision•manage its delivery•build ever stronger and more successful teams

An ideological leader:•vision is based or founded on the past rather than the future placing •emphasis on a shared collective past •values and standards necessary for a just society

The organizational leader:• carefully organize•raise the level of the political leadership


Today's, current leadership and leaders in China are facing yet another unique challenge. With the ever growing population and the need for a positive gross domestic product, the leaders will need to change to adapt not only of their own people by the global market if they want to successfully compete and succeed in the future.

But Chinese traditions are strong and many individuals will first respect their culture traditions in a concept they call ‘guan xi’.


In conclusion, the Cultural Revolution brought unique leadership to the country of China.

It brought transformation, goal orientated and honor of political party to a country that believed there was no way out.


I believe that without the Cultural Revolution of China happening, I don’t think, our group

would have had the opportunity to visit China and JUFE university in an open format.

I also believe China has many years before full leadership styles, without condemnation,

will be instituted. They will need to full encompass a sustainable economy,

reconfigured cultural traditions, and the importance of the human condition.
