Moral Leadership and Creating a Culture of Innovation in China
China is moving swiftly down a path of economic development. Recently enacted government policy provides guidelines and incentives to cultivate creativity throughout Chinese society and to foster entrepreneurship in an ambitious effort to transform China into a leader of innovation. To accelerate this process, the government has placed a great deal of emphasis on the identification and nurturing of talent. But talent needs effective leadership. This paper discusses empirical evidence as well as Chinese philosophical traditions related to the qualities required for such leadership. It challenges some of the assumptions underlying popular notions of leadership and examines the concept of moral leadership as a vital factor in long-term organizational performance. The relationship between executive leadership, creativity, and employee engagement is explored. The purpose of this work is to emphasize the central role of moral leadership in achieving sustainable high levels of organizational performance, to define the fundamental qualities needed for moral leadership, and to suggest areas for further study.
