With the implementation of the Belt and Road Initiative and the expansion of China's influence on the world, more and more Chinese enterprises, especially a large number of private enterprises, are going out of the country. Firm leaders are facing unprecedented cross-cultural challenges. The leadership courses will combine my research results in related fields and many practical cases to show how Chinese business leaders learn wisdom from ancient sages and combine that with the methods developed by the West. They involve the theory of leadership, leadership practices, cultural leadership behaviours, and how to appreciate cultural differences while seeking harmony. My team developed a humanistic leadership mode of “xiu ji da ren” (cultivating the self and developing others), "tui ji ji ren” (compassion and humanity), “yi yi wei li” (propriety followed by profit), “zhi xing he yi” (unity of knowing and doing with conscience), “yun zhi jue zhong” (striking a balance among the different forces) based on real examples to illustrate how the excellent traditional culture played a role in management. We hope that it will help influence our way of thinking, cultivate our mind, lead our team and company more effectively, making employees thrive while sustaining the business.
