Introduction
This workshop is an opportunity to explore the practical wisdom of ancient China on
leadership through the teachings of Confucius. The goal is simple: to help you take
meaningful steps toward becoming the best leader you can be.
For many, Confucius may be little more than a historical name. In fact, his influence on
leadership and human development is profound. His name, Latinized as “Confucius,” comes
from three parts: Kung (his family name), fu (a title of respect, much like “Mister” in
English), and Tzu or Zi (an honorific meaning “Master”). In modern Chinese, he is referred
to as Kung-Zi. His followers called him simply “The Master,” and in Chinese culture he
remains recognized as a “Master of Masters.”
This program will draw on his timeless insights to show how they can be applied in today’s
world, giving you practical tools and perspectives to strengthen your leadership.
