RJ 4: Reflect on the leadership in China.
What is leadership? I believe leadership is a process that is ultimately concerned with fostering change. My point of view towards leadership is in contrast to the notion of ‘management’, which suggests preservation or maintenance. Leadership implies a process where there is improvement – from what we are now to someone different someone better in future. ‘Change’ is what makes up a leader’s job.
So what is leadership in China? As we will see, it is not necessarily the same as in the western world.
In China, seeking corporate harmony is the primary leadership task, but to the western world and me, ‘Change’ makes the world go round. Harmony is the foundation of Chinese culture. Ideally, the Chinese wish to live in harmony with people and the world around them. This makes the leader in China a social architect. The prime task of the leaders in China is to maintain the order of this social hierarchy. Of course, the Chinese are not always opposed to change as it may seem. It is an issue of primary purpose, an issue of priority and importance. Thus, while the western perception of a leader is to challenge the status quo and bring change, the Chinese leader’s goal is to establish and maintain and harmonious society.
In China, leadership is an intangible skill that is often hard to grasp. One vital point is communication. As we all know, the communication differences between East and West are profound. In my opinion, westerners usually say what they mean. Also, westerners tend to be task oriented and often enter relationships as a means of achieving goals. Americans, in particular form partnerships quickly and superficially. The can enter relationships easily and can leave them just as quickly. In China, I am not saying that people do not honour their words, but communication is more subtle, non-verbal, intuitive and indirect. It is rare for Chinese to say “no”. Also in terms of building a relationship with others, Chinese are much slower to commit themselves to others in a friendship. Chinese leaders prefer getting to know one another first before putting themselves into the abyss of work.
So the question now is “Can leadership in China keep pace with its ever-growing economy?”
Everyone has witnessed the emergence of China as a major global economic force. Despite this rapid development, a culture steeped in tradition was never to be overwritten. Today’s leaders in China face a unique challenge: On one hand, they have no choice but to adapt to the demands of the global market if they yearn for success. On the other hand, they must respect their traditions, which include the concept of guan xi (relations). China’s leaders are required to manage the fast-breaking change while respecting the cultural influences; can they take this chore up? That’s the question. Are they ready to face the world? Is there a clear image of successful leadership in China?
We can all see that the whole structure of Chinese leadership, in place for many years, has proven effective in terms of achieving business results. But, with different cultures infiltrating China and business models changing daily, it is prime time the Chinese leaders change the way they do their business. The Chinese structure of leadership focuses on building interpersonal bonds, collaboration, teamwork and trust. Therefore, if one person fails to keep up, the whole team cannot progress. To be honest, this is highly inefficient.
One important thing I feel strongly about the leaders in China is that they have a serious lack of charisma. China lacks good public speaking role models. In China, when leaders speak in public e.g. elections, they often come with a prepared sheet of paper. Although it indicates sincerity, it lacks the persuasiveness and influence.
Ironically, for both East and West, their greatest strengths have become their greatest weaknesses. In the West, overemphasis on individual rights has led to social disintegration. People are more prone to search for their own individual meanings and purposes. By contrast, in China, activities often enjoy a high degree of unity but at the expense of individual vision and initiative. In the face of rapid social, political and economic changes, leaders in China know that they need people who can think creatively and take actions without being told to do so.
In conclusion, we can see that effective leadership is only part of the equation of success in Chinese organizations. The other part which makes up the equation is the followers. Leaders need to find the right employees and help implement their plans and strategies. In big organizations, it is not only the leader that is important but also the followers.

It has been 3 weeks since we first engaged student presentations as the general mode of pedagogy. One thing I could say, it has been successful thus far, considering how the presenters were generally well-prepared and delivered substantial speeches. Compared to last year whom we were still amateur, inexperienced public speakers, we have now transformed into presenters brimming with pride and confidence. As a whole, the presenters could be seen putting in their greatest effort in the crafting of their scripts and preparing their show time on stage. Through these presentations, numerous intriguing ideas have struck my mind which proved great help in further discussions in class.
Different presenters have shown different styles in presenting. The expectation that Mr. Corr and Ms Yeo pinned on us was not to be as good as Steve Jobs, who is an extremely polished and charismatic public speaker, but to present our true self, our innate ability to showcase our body language and to present with clear themes as well as keeping our audiences hanging on our words. As the presentations progressed into week 6 and further, it is vivid that many presenters have tried different forms of presenting styles. Ranging from one who blabbers away with zest to one who relies on visual aids to give them an edge over the others, also, from one who uses the most advanced technology(ipad) to one who made us stare in awe and disbelief when he concludes his speech.
I would like to point out a few cases which I feel it is only fair for me to give them their due credit. Firstly, I would like to applaud Alcander for his firmness when he started the ball rolling. Being the so called ‘pioneer’ of this speech presentation not only gave him excessive amount of pressure, but he is also seen as the benchmark in the eyes of the whole class. Not only had he shown qualities of a true man, he also put up a dazzling performance by limiting his reference to script as little as possible. Another example I would like to cite would be Junyi’s near-wonderful presentation. It could be said to be perfect if he does take a little notice of his facial expression throughout the presentation. His speech was succinct, content was in-depth and his vocal was crisp and clear. As Mr S.Lim have said, ‘When we make a speech, we’ve got to internalize our content, know what we are talking about, and then naturalize.’ I believe Junyi has inherited his precious teachings. Basically, with this high standard of presentation made, I believe that the pressure for presenters down the stretch would be relatively high for they fear that they are unable to match up to that benchmark. Will this kind of competitiveness in class bring others to greater heights? Who knows? Lastly, I would like to talk about myself. I know myself well, I am never an excellent presenter, and I know I can never be one. I tell myself, as long as I tried my best, it is all worthwhile. In that short span of 5 minutes, I had an unprecedented high amount of adrenaline rush and my hands were sweating profusely. To be true, the above description was a bit too exaggerating. But the horror and anxiety indeed got the better of me.
From past experience, I can conclude that listening to a single person rant about a particular subject can be really boring, mainly due to the fact that his view of the situation is usually obscured and would only elaborate on notions gathered from similar viewpoints. On the contrary, hearing different individuals’ takes on a subject leaves us with more information and facts evaluated from different perspective. This, in turn, provides invigorating revelations for us listeners and help to keep lessons alive by evoking our train of thoughts in alternate ways.
Another interesting aspect regarding the presentations is no doubt the different methods of presentations employed by the pupils. Sure, it is easy to squeeze any thesis into a single speech, as well as to deliver it fluently, but it is often inevitable that the audience miss out on a mentioned point, and is lost by the time he recovers from his confusion and thoughts. As an alternative, many presenters have scribbled and illustrated their main points on the board to complement their speeches. It is very useful and practical, as it serves as a mean to remind the audience the contents mentioned, as well as enhancing their understanding of the speech.
In conclusion, I believe in reaping what you sown. As long as an individual works hard and prepare for his turn, it would be fruitful after all. Hence, I would like to end off by acknowledging my classmates’ efforts they put into their presentations.

Reflective Journal (II)
Reflect on the changing role of women in society. Draw on examples from China, the United States and Singapore in your reflections.
The role of women has changed. At least for the better. Women have gone from being considered the property of husbands or the absolute property of slave-owners to individuals with the full range of legal rights and responsibilities. For centuries before the early 1900's, there was a prominent male domination in almost every part of the world. With the advent of industrialization and technological development, the lifestyles of human beings started to change. In this process, women slowly started to move outside home. Women pursued education in equal terms with males and with this women literacy rate improved tremendously. Subsequently, women slowly started to participate in all walks of life. Gone are the days when women sat at home, managing the house and looking after the children. Today women have been given bigger role to play in the society.
The change in the role of women in the aspects of economy can be described with one word. Astonishing! Women-owned businesses are highly increasing in the economies in almost all countries. The hidden entrepreneurial potentials of women have gradually surfaced throughout the years. From two decades ago till present, women have launched entrepreneurial careers in record numbers. The emergence and growth of women-owned businesses have contributed strongly to the US economy. Statistics have shown, as of 2004, there were an estimated 10.6 million privately held firms, accounting for nearly half of all privately held firms in the country. Furthermore, women-owned firms employ 19.1 million people and generate $2.5trillion in sales. Thus, we can see from these that the economy is no longer solely the males’ job to maintain; women are now surpassing their counterparts and can now share the burden with them, no longer dependent on men who were once the ‘sole breadwinners’.
The change in role of women in the aspects of social can be said as ‘unimaginable’. No women in the past would ever imagine there will be such equality between men and women. Take China for example. China has a long history of preference towards men; generations of Chinese women were once forced to bind their feet, where at that time, ‘beauty’ of deformed small feet is appreciated so much. Women once had to abide to all commandments given by her husband and act as a subordinate in order to maintain the so called ‘social hierarchy’. In the present era, women are no longer restricted by the rules and regulations posed by men. They have their freedom, they can make their own choice. Women in the modern China now possess so much more economical affluence as compared to the past where money was mostly in the ‘good’ hands of the men. Also, the fact that women nowadays are dressed in the way they are fond of, evidently tells us that men are no longer in control, women now have their power. In the social sphere, women are no longer treated as slaves, now they are highly respected; women are no longer under control, now they are the authorities.
In Singapore, women can be seen as more unique compared to the women in America and China. Singapore was established under the influence of western and eastern ideology. Immigrants from all over the world flocked to Singapore in the founding years, bringing the word ‘multi’ to a brand new level. Since then, our dear nation has been well-known to be multi-racial, multi- religious, multi-ethnic, and multi-language and so on. The point I am trying to put forth is that women in Singapore are treated equally, but in other sense, not that equal after all. The western ideals being liberal would mean that women have their freedom of choice. However, contrastingly, the east’s concept is that men should always be in full control when it comes to decision makings. On the streets, we see women fashionably dressed and participating in all kinds of hip-and-trendy functions. At home, they are still restricted by Chinese Confucianism ideas that they should assume simultaneous roles as her son’s mother, her husband’s wife and her father’s daughter. They should be, at all times, ready to serve the men in the family. Also, upon independence, there was a great need to utilise human resources and thus Singapore incorporated women into the workforce. To ensure discipline from the society, Singapore placed great emphasis on Confucian ethnics and traditional gender roles – men were classified as the breadwinner and the women as the caregivers. This was greatly emphasised in a speech that the current Senior Minister Goh made in 1980 which declares that women play a more valuable role at home than in the workforce. Therefore, I do feel that Singapore society has a long way to go before the role of women change.
In conclusion, I feel that on the surface, it may seem that sex equality has been achieved – women now have the right to choose, freedom to do whatever they want and opportunities to assume critical roles in business and politics, but on the inside, there is still many restrictions made that bounded women and there is still presence of loopholes and discrimination. I do agree that women roles have made leap and bounds, but the fact that women and men cannot be compared as both genders have different physical and emotional attributes, suggests that this topic of gender equality is subjective.

1. Reflect on youth apathy towards politics. Draw on examples from China, the United States and Singapore in your reflections.
Today’s youths’ disengagement with politics is indisputable, but how much of a problem is this, really? The young’s attitude and bearing towards politics today is veering towards “so what” outlook which many claim to be lackadaisical. My question is: so what?
From a small colony, Singapore has now expanded into a bustling city filled with economic and social activities, while the ruling party’s capability, efficiency and fiscal policies has placed us at greater heights in the global arena. However, at the pinnacle of peace and prosperity, we have seemed to take all these for granted and become apathetic. Youths in Singapore have falsely assumed that our leaders always have our interests constantly at heart and that whatever they do is to their utmost efforts. To put it simply across, the level of political apathy in Singapore directly corresponds to the stability and welfare of it. Singaporeans believe that as long as our standard of living does not decline too much, there isn’t a need for us to poke our noses into the business of politics. As a youth in Singapore, I strongly believe this is true. I am just one out of many who is guilty of being apathetic towards political affairs. As a vibrant and energetic youngster, there are just way too many commitments and distractions of paramount importance out there for me to even spend time reading the papers to widen my knowledge on politics. I do see politics as something largely annoying. It is something too profound and complex for youths like me to understand. For youths, “enjoyment of activity” is a prime factor in motivating them. However, I do feel that we will play our part in politics in the near future, to challenge our government as to whether they can give us a better and sustainable future, or it will be too late.
In US, the voting age is 18 – many youths below this age are uninterested in politics as they feel they cannot alter anything without a vote. Many youths feel disengaged with politics and hence, they would rather spend more time showering themselves with gifts and discuss the latest showbiz’s affairs. Also, there is little or no political education for the youths. In addition, we have to know that political understand has to be acquired through interactions with friends and family, personal experience or from elite schools with the capability to offer subjects outside the scope of regular curriculum. In appreciating all these facts, it is only fair for us not to blame the youths for their apathy towards politics. Being apolitical is just part and parcel of a maturation process. As a youth, as a student, we have yet to fully integrate ourselves into the political system; therefore it is perfectly fine for youths to be relatively apathetic towards politics before their entry into adult life. As statistics have shown, under the segment of political engagement and voting, 80% of the youths (aged 15-25) are unlikely to work for the government, 34% see voting as a choice versus 20% a responsibility and only 9% a duty. Youths are often disillusioned about and disconnected from the political system. More than 85% of the youths surveyed easily agreed that volunteering in the community is easier than volunteering in politics.
In China, politics is a taboo, a big ‘no’ ‘no’. Any forms of discussion about political leaders or reforms made by the authorities would have to be kept behind the scenes. I personally feel that China youths aren’t that apathetic, after all, I can still sense that bit of enthusiasm and knowledge when it comes to political issues, and it is due to the limited freedom and lack of democracy which deter China youths from standing up to their own views. Tiananmen Massacre would have been the best historical example to remind youths to think twice before articulating their thoughts about political issues. The fact that young Chinese netizens create so many proxy websites to bypass the ‘filters’ in Internet Explorer gives us an idea how determined they are in advocating and propagating their rights.
Though it may seem alright for youths to be disengaged when it comes to political affairs, it is not. Politics intertwine with the entire social system, politics determine how the country will be run, and politics will inevitably coalesce with the standard the living citizens can attain. To put it simply, it affects our life. There is an absolute need for youths, known to be the future leaders of a country, to etch politics into their young minds, otherwise, who could ever picture the state our country would be in without wise and politically savvy leaders?
