Leadership Theory and Practice: Where East Meets West

Abstract

This thesis is an exposition of what traditions the Chinese people have regarding leader-follower relationships, how they have evolved, why they are able to survive the test of time for so long, and how they may stand the Chinese officers and men in good stead in their exercise of leadership. The thesis is also a study of what Western leadership concepts can be assimilated to good advantage by the Chinese, and what additional research efforts for the armed forces of the Republic of China should be undertaken. The thesis also includes a description of the ECHO sampling technique, which was used in the gathering of data for the identification of key leadership factors and traits by Chinese officers studying at U.S. Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, California.
