During 1980s, the center government started to encourage pannage. So there were many pig farmers in Wei’s village. Last year, there were many complaints all over the country about water pollutions. Instead of investigating the real reasons and providing more sustainable technology, the center government decided to shut down all the family hog farms. Officers went to people’s houses, took their pigs away and torn down the fans. Famers lost their only living method and all felt very confused and angry. Wei was not responsible for this performance. But he decided to travel around the village himself to calm the villagers down and help them to figure out some solutions. He didn’t notice until later that his attitude towards collectives and politicians had changed. Before, he was usually on the side of the commanders and never questioned the values of the general goals. Now he is seeking for the balance.

They both share similarities to be authentic and caring human beings and leaders. They both present a very important qualification of future Chinese leaders. They are someone who are willing to lead in crisis and to contribute without asking back much. However. Qin and Wei both are having the same problem that neither of them is fighting for powers against hierarchies. They both have found the balance of power for themselves and also understood multiple cultures, but they are not innovators. Every leader has two events: the relations with follower and tasks and the attitudes towards hierarchies and systems. They both have done well with the first one only.

    Leadership styles include democratic, autocratic, laissez-faire as well as servant leadership. Of the varied styles, servant leadership is the most appealing and interesting to study as it draws attention to the servant leader, “as one who is a servant first” (Greenleaf, 1977). Likewise, Spears and Lawrence (2002) have suggested that at its core, servant leadership is a long-term, transformational approach to life and work (p. 4). Over the years, many leaders have emerged and because of their actions, performance, and traits they are hailed as servant leaders. This includes, but is not limited to: Pope Francis, also known as Jorge Mario Bergoglio, Fannie Lou Hamer, Ella Baker, Martin Luther King Jr., Frederick Douglass, and W.E.B. Du Bois.…
