Wu Zetien leadership
The PowerPoint focuses on life and leadership of Wu Zetien as further discussed. The origins of the woo family is believed to be in Wenshui region, Bingzhou which is an ancient name for the Taiyuan Shanxi. She was born in the seventh time of the supremacy of emperor Gaozu of tang. In the unchanged year was a total eclipse of the sun. At age of fourteen she served as a concubine. Consort Wu had been Emperor Gaozong’s concubine by early 650 and she was named Zhaoyi (first) (the highest status concubine of the nine concubines in the second exuberant). Throughout Emperor Gaozong’s reign Wu gradually gained immense influence over the empire. In 690 Emperor Ruizong gave her the throne and established the Zhou dynasty. It became the most significant decision taken. She was considered ruthless in trying to gain influence and was believed to have slaughtered her own kids by traditional historians.
The first and only female emperor of China, Wu Zhao (624–705) was also known as Empress Wu Detain. She ruled over 15 years as the “Holy and Divine Emperor” of the Second Zhou Dynasty (690–705) with her exceptional intelligence, exceptional competence in politics, and excessive ambition. Leadership concepts include different styles, characteristics and principles for the management of an employee team. Leadership concepts are essentially based on different management theories, which are used by effective managers, supervisors and other leaders. Leadership concepts also promote the development of theories of standard management styles and behavior, often involving characteristics, initiative, motivation, influence, decision making and other principles that are the basis of a wide range of integrated leadership styles.
Wu used her power to overthrow the elder men of state who had served Taizong and had still much influence on the government. These men opposed its rise as empress because, although she was a relative officer’s daughter, her family was not among the big aristocratic clans (skrypnik, 2020). They also opposed the nature of her relationship with Gaozong as she was incestuous because she was a Taizong concubine. By 660, the Empress had overcome all the opponents who had been displaced, exiled and in many cases finally executed. Wu greatly strengthened the Chinese government’s candidate pool for official exams and pioneered the Martial Examination to recruit guerrilla talents (skrypnik, 2020). She frequently organized national exams, expanded her curriculum to better identify talent, and often examined candidates personally, regardless of background. Nevertheless, they demand high standards from their officials, which quickly dismissed underperforming officials.
She redistributed her power through various Strategic Moves, other than increasing the scope of civil-service reviews. This includes installing copper boxes in the capital for anyone who sends a direct petition to her, nominating for government position, policy criticism and whistleblowers. In conclusion, Empress Wu’s colorful life created many legends, folk stories and inspired many TV shows and films. Under the glamor, there are many other enlightening lessons from the history of the woman who came to the height of her society (hue et al., 2018). Wu is said to be a great empress. Every claim. For more than half a century she held power, in one way or another: first as a member of the ineffective Gaozong emperor, and then as a monarch (from 690 till shortly before her death in 705), behind the throne holding her youngest son. She steadied and consolidated the Tang dynasty in a rough and decisive way, at a time when it seemed to crumble–a significant achievemet because the Tang period is the golden age of the Chinese culture. The newest book by T.H. Barrett even states (with no clear evidence) that empress was the world’s leading early promoter of printing (fang et al., 2021).
In conclusion Wu Zetien would be regarded to be one of the leaders with most exceptional influence. She possessed remarkable intelligence and was determined to emerge as the first female empress in china. Attendance of the position called for Wu to exercise great patience, persistence and wisdom in her moves. She demonstrates how each of us should take advantage of available opportunities to succeed such as in leadership, business warlord and other life aspects.
