The Study of Comparisons in Attribute of Corporation Leaders' Behavior

Abstract

The purpose of this study is for a discussion of the characteristics of those who were taking the leading positions in the enterprises, and an analysis of the behavioral attributes a "Successful Type" or an "Effective Type" of leadership should possess. Other than integrated documentary research in this field; a comparative study of the local condition on China and Canada was made. A significant discovery is that all of the attributes of a "Successful Type" of leader in a Canadian enterprise were not necessarily required of Chinese enterprises; the Chinese condition that depends on the candidate background to decide promotion in the public enterprises. As the study was carried further on a positive analysis of those who were playing leading roles in the public and the privately business in China, it was found that no matter whether the enterprise was "public" or "private", one should have a comparative stronger ability as being "flexible", if he was to become an "Effective Type" of leader. Those who possessed stronger ability in "auditing", "grasping any of the opportunities that seems possible" had a better chance to become a "Successful Type" of leader in an privately business. On the contrary, for a "Successful Type" of leader in a public business, all of the nine behavioral attributes as discussed in this research were not so important as they appeared a privately business.
