Abstract
Expanding on an earlier paper (Low, 2009), the practitioner-academician author uses the analogy of the Chinese dragon to exemplify critical strategic leadership ways. To the Chinese, the dragon is a divine mythical creature, signifies power, greatness, benevolence, goodness and blessings. Among other things, in emulating and following the way of the dragon, the strategic leader thus leads with example and integrity; (s)he leads justly and with compassion. Relying on the wisdom of the old, humaneness, the Tao of the ancient emperors (now practiced by strategic leaders) is put forth; this still has great relevance in an age of rapid changes, and hence its appeal. Positive and harmonious relationships are emphasized, with the country (the world) and its citizens enjoying the ‘Big Peace’. Citing various Chinese proverbs, the paper carries several leadership relevance, lessons and insights.
