520 $a This study investigated the ways in which ancient Chinese wisdom might currently be influencing the practices of business leaders in Mainland China. The research was conducted through interviews and questionnaires with 41 Chinese business leaders who were chosen for their awareness and reflection on Chinese wisdom. The study used grounded theory as a methodology.
520 $a Initial findings indicated that most of the participants in the study encountered ancient wisdom practices through traditional Chinese medicine. In terms of traditions, varying aspects of Buddhism, Confucianism, and Taoism were included in their experiences.
520 $a In assessing how ancient wisdom influenced or changed leadership practices, a distinction emerged between those at the top of their organization (CEOs) and those in senior executive roles. The former group embraced ancient wisdom in three areas of their company: Setup of corporate social responsibility programs; the development of, or changes of company values; and, a review of corporate purpose and strategy. In contrast, senior executives applied ancient wisdom to people management, using the principles to support employees, to become active listeners, and to let go rather than control.
520 $a This study also offered insights on the difference between embracing and embodying ancient wisdom, a difference also expressed by the notion of balance versus harmony. The one voice policy, social pressure, the image of ancient wisdom, and the lack of trust have been identified as four key blockers to embody ancient wisdom in leadership practices.
520 $a Using Graves's ECLET model, this research analyzed the evolution of consciousness of those leaders who embraced or embodied ancient wisdom. It showed a clear movement towards Tier 2 thinking, essential for addressing the excesses of modern China and of the world as a matter of fact.
520 $a The last section analyzes a number of ancient Chinese wisdom assumptions such as the role of rituals to develop new habits, the role of sentimentalism ethic, or the power of virtue (de) through recent neuroscience and social science research. Finally, the author highlights the challenges of carrying out research in China, and shared his own experiences about how a Western leader might embark on a journey to embrace ancient wisdom.
