This study examines presidential personal qualities, leadership styles and perceived success in higher education institutions in China. In pursuing these topics two major frameworks were examined: first, the influence of Chinese philosophy in the practice of Chinese university presidential leadership; and, secondly, the perceptions of university constituents on the effectiveness of presidential leadership in China.

520 $a This study examines presidential personal qualities, leadership styles and perceived success in higher education institutions in China. In pursuing these topics two major frameworks were examined: first, the influence of Chinese philosophy in the practice of Chinese university presidential leadership; and, secondly, the perceptions of university constituents on the effectiveness of presidential leadership in China.
520 $a This study was conducted in China using both survey and interviews, which reinforced each other. The study shows the major factors in presidential leadership success and which of these aspects were considered most crucial in the quest for institutional excellence in Chinese higher education. Professors and administrators agree on which personal traits are most important--commitment, knowledge, competence, and vision--but disagree on which of the four is most important: professors say "knowledge," administrators say "commitment." Both groups give their president high marks for "commitment," but only forty-seven percent to sixty-three percent do so for the other traits. Professors and administrators also agree that the important elements of leadership style are "democratic," "decisive," "goal-setting," and "leading," which is valued as an important trait by Chinese (administrators are not as concerned with "democracy" as the professors). Both groups gave the president low marks for democratic leadership and higher ratings in the other three areas. On the whole, the majority of respondents expressed their opinion that the most ideal presidential leadership style should be both "democratic" and "decisive.".
520 $a The findings suggested that a new type of leadership model, a combined bureaucratic and collegial model, is being sought in higher education institutions in China. The findings also suggested that in order to facilitate institutional improvement, presidents needed to expand their vision and change their leadership styles to fit the new organizational culture and meet their constituents' needs. The findings conclude that university constituents were satisfied with their president's leadership with respect to his/her personal qualities and leadership styles though more effort still needs to be made to achieve greater improvement.
