Abstract: Abstract A leader’s traits evolve over time and are expressed differently under different situations. Based on Xu et al.’ (Leadersh Q 25(6):1095–1119, 2014) research, this study focuses on the dynamic view on the leader trait theory in the Chinese context to explore the distinctive characteristics. There are three patterns (homological, converse, and composite) by which leader traits evolve. The essential feature of the Chinese culture that affects the Chinese thinking the most is the notion of “Yin-Yang.” The composite evolution is distinctive in the Chinese context. The traits leaders demonstrated under specific situations are composite in nature, which also supports the notion that traits evolve.
