Detailed explanation-1: -As we have shown above, according to Confucius, a virtuous leader epitomises the virtue of ren (benevolence) and treats others in a proper way according to li (rites and rituals). He/she puts self-cultivation as the main priority and influences others by being a moral role model.
Detailed explanation-2: -To sum it up, Confucian leadership is based on the promotion of positive values, efforts helping to transform people’s behavior, and the superiority of virtue over the threat of punishment.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Confucian leader gains the support and confidence of his followers through virtue and not violence. He prefers to “rule by virtue” rather than “rule by laws”. In political leadership (or rulership), Confucius believed that a government is ruled by a leader’s personal and moral values.
Detailed explanation-4: -The golden rule of Confucianism is “Do not do unto others what you would not want others to do unto you.” There is debate over if Confucianism is a religion. Confucianism is best understood as an ethical guide to life and living with strong character.
