Dao Intelligence and Dao Leader Well-being

Abstract

Chinese traditional philosophy can offer a rich source of insight for current leadership studies. The aim of this article is to discuss two main aspects of Dao philosophy, Dao intelligence and Dao leader well-being. The article makes two contributions to knowledge. First, it outlines a conceptual model of Dao intelligence from six aspects based on Dao philosophy in Dao De Jing. Second, it provides a model of Dao leader well-being based on Dao intelligence. It is argued that Dao intelligence offers new opportunities for leadership research and practice. The article concludes with a discussion of the practical value of considering Dao philosophy as an underlying approach to leader intelligence and leader well-being. In the modern society, we could gain wisdom from Dao in the attempt to pursue the root cause of all tangible phenomena in life, including the scientific theories and practices. Thus, Dao De Jing is a book with the essential Dao philosophy that has implications for contemporary leadership theory and practice. Dao philosophy is presented in this research as a philosophical and wise pattern of leadership intelligence and well-being.
