Many debates the concept of Leadership: is there a right way to lead and who is an effective leader and where is the line between effective and atrocious leader. The question society has asked for ages, what is the right thing to accomplish and did they initiate the proper choice. The idea of leadership has been around since humanity could conceive of the community, but the study of leadership is a new phenomenon. The beginning of leadership was the great men theory and after that a colossal amount of theories on the leaders emerged trait theories and value theories. Later in time they added the follower and context, but the focal point for a multitude of scholars today is the leader. What theory does their leader fit? What are the similarities …show more content…
These ideas fill what the mind and create a story for us to develop and synthesize into are own lives and values.
Sirleaf was an open and conscientious leader. Her mix of a servant leader and an adaptive leader. She put herself second and her people first, working seven days a week and around 14 hours a day. She shows courage and strength, and sacrifice. Her choice to come back to Liberia and help when she could have stayed in the United States and worked for the banks and had power and good water. Sirleaf lifted her people up to be better, her people started to believe in themselves and move forward. She used inspirational motivation creating this vision of a better Liberia of women having a voice. As a servant leader, she listens to those around her she listens to the women who were protesting, and she even went to West Point during the Ebola crisis and listened to the people problems and thoughts. She showed

She pushed through the hardship and though many do not like Mao, he like Sirleaf had great preservation and pushed past challenge. Both leaders were patient. Mao was waiting years through the long march and then slowly pushing his policy in the beginning and Sirleaf starting young going to the United States building up her connection and slowly becoming the women who became the president of Liberia. We want to separate leaders especially those of communist countries and those of capitalist countries and their considerable differences to talk on but they are similar in many ways also. Sirleaf is a more trnansformational leader, motivating the people to serve as leaders. Looking at the ocean model, Sirleaf shows her openness by telling her people the truth even if they don’t want to hear it. Mao is not as open he speaks his mind and motivates others, but due to the culture and ideology he does not speak as much and his government is closed off. Both leaders are conscientious, especially at the beginning. They understand what is going on and are aware. Sirleaf understand her country needed help and to fix it education and infrastructure and she worked to do it. Mao understood, the farmers were the backbone of the country and used them, he understood the strength of women and tried to help them. There also is an argument to say as he
Historical Investigation – Mao Ze Dong Aida 10C Plan Of Investigation The research question “To what extent did Mao improved China’s economy?” will dig upon Mao’s accomplishment of being a leader, and how much effort he exerts especially for China’s economy. Until now, the subject has been a controversy to the public eye.
The Communist Party gained Ji-Li Jiang’s trust and in doing so made her question her family ties. Ji-Li Jiang said that she believed what the Communist Party told her and her fellow classmates. When told "...father and mother are dear, but dearer still is Chairman Mao" (page 1) , she had no want to question it, so it is of no surprise that when her family forbade her from going to a liberation audition, she immediately was confused and upset. Why is it that Ji-Li Jiang questioned the people who raised and loved her, and instead wanted to follow Chairman Mao, a man whom she only saw hanging above a blackboard in her classroom. The answer is simple.
Mao recognized the power of the peasant class and had them support his party which led him to power.(Anderson
Mao Zedong v.s. Deng Xiaoping Mao Zedong, one of the most notable communist revolutionaries and the founding father of the People’s Republic of China, has played a significant role in the county’s evolution into a communist-led system. His philosophies along with the power he gained as Chairman of the communist party allowed his to exert great influence over the people of China throughout most of the 50s, 60s, and 70s. Mao took the ideas of Marx’s communism and applied them to China (Mao Zedong Thought), favoring the peasants and the idea of a peasant revolution, rather than the industrial workers (China was not completely industrialized at the time). He believed the peasant class would be the driving force behind a communist takeover
Both leaders also use propaganda as a method of control. Mao and Kim Jong Un both used paintings, advertisements, and posters to show that they were the best and people need to show love to them. One Example is Mao would have pictures of people holding red books to show that if you did not have one you were not part of the revolution and you would be punished if not. Also, Kim jong Un had pictures of him as the sun to symbolize that he is like the “god” but if you get to close to the sun there would be serious consequences. Kim Jong Un uses censorship but mao did not really use it.
Li was restricted to ideas and beliefs he had since growing up, he was not allowed to have an identity of his own, under the restriction of Mao’s Communist
Mao Zedong changed from a scholar with focus on the ideas revolving social reform and revolution into a military leader of action with a rather disturbing view of how to deal with problems, such as purges. The subsequent events following the “white terror” of course contributed to this change, such as having to flee to Jiangxi and having to fight for survival. This would most certainly harden most people, especially those in difficult social and political situations such as Mao. However, there is no doubt that there is an inherent change in the person Mao Zedong and his practices. The “Futian Incident” is a very good example of how problems are addressed.
The ideals of the communist revolution as well as Maoist theory were fomented in the countryside by a cadre of urban youths from the cities, such as Ao of Canton. This essay will provide a short summary of Ao’s experience in Chen Village, three ideological differences between Confucianism and communism, how Ao’s experience in Chen Village exemplifies the aforementioned ideological differences, and the implications of the Cultural Revolution on Chen Village. Many Chinese students who excelled in their studies voluntarily went into countryside villages to spread the word of Mao Zedong and the Chinese Communist Party. Ao of Canton was one of these students, and along with fifty other youths she went to Chen Village to change its “feudal” society
Chapter Within this chapter 22, Mao institutes the idea of “thought reform through labor” (Chang, 389). The intentions of this quote made Communists all around China to go to the countryside and work alongside the peasants (Jung Chang was sent to Ningnan). Sadly, at the end of the chapter, the friend’s of Jung Chang pronounced her grandmother dead. Chapter
Mao gave students, like Rae, the power to do what they thought was right for communism. To clarify that the youth listened
Mao was very successful in ending the economic and social challenges faced by China during this time and the extent of this success if unmatched. Mao, using laws and the cultural revolution and the great leap forward and the 5 year plan fixed social and economic policies respectively. Mao was met with success when he attempted to rectify the social challenges that existed in China between 1949 and 1976. Some of these challenges included the lack of rights for women and the continual adherence to the 4 olds by the public. Mao fixed the lack of rights for women by issuing the Marriage law of 1950.
To begin with, Zhang Xiao-Ming acknowledges the strategic importance of Korea to Chinese state security. Agreeing with Zhang, Chen Jian points out Chinese leaders’ fear of Korea being occupied by the U.S. and China’s fast mobilization to the Sino-Korean border after the outbreak of the war. In addition, W.A.C Adie identified it as Mao’s “idea of military heroism” which resulted in his determination to intervene militarily in the Korean Crisis. Such determination corresponds with Chen and Stueck William Whitney’s explanation of Mao’s influential speech before the CCP Politburo meetings and his insistence on persuading other members to support him. Lastly, Xiao-Bing Li agrees with Chen, who argues that the intervention was intended to “safeguard China’s prestige and international interest” and at the same time, enhance domestic/international recognition and authority the Chinese Communist Party holds over
Mao’s rule plays an important role in understanding why China is the way it is today. Mao Zedong, although known for many things, was responsible for the Great Leap Forward and the Cultural Revolution. During the Great Leap Forward was Mao’s attempt to industrialize agriculture and increase economic growth. A combination of poor weather and lack of agricultural experience causes millions of people in China to starve to death. The Cultural Revolution which created a personality cult around Mao Zedong was also seen as a failure.
