Abstract: Abstract This chapter draws on the Chinese philosophical tradition two major schools of thought to reconstruct a notion of Chinese leadership. This notion combines the positive leadership elements from Confucianism (Ru Jia) and Legalism (Fa Jia). The strengths and weaknesses of both schools are examined. Absolving the positive elements while shunning the negative ones of the two schools, this third notion of Ru-Fa leadership has character and rules as its core constituents.
