Liu Bang- Founder of The Han Dynasty
By Kevin
Mar,20,2005
1 Introduction
Emperor Gaozu,also known under the name Liu Bang,was the first emperor of the Han Dynasty (206 BC - 24 AD).He was born into a peasant family in Pei (present Pei County in Jiangsu Province),and was once one of the leaders of the peasant insurrections in the late Qin Dynasty (221-206 BC).1
Having suffered a lot under the despotic rule,Liu Bang rose against it at the end of the Qin Dynasty together with Xiang Yu.The two of them became two important leaders of the peasant uprisings which were taking place at the time.In 206 BC,Liu Bang started by breaking the capital city of Qin,Xianyang,thus putting an end to the notorious Qin Dynasty.He abandoned the harsh laws,reduced taxes and instituted three regulations in order to protect the interests of normal people.These actions made him popular with the people.
However,Liu Bang's actions and fame were the source of Xiang Yu's envy.Xiang Yu had the intention of becoming an emperor with control over the entire country.When Xiang Yu proclaimed himself the King of Chu,Liu Bang realized that he was inferior to Xiangyu and adopted the suggestions of Xiaohe to move to Hanzhong (present Hanzhong in Shaanxi Province) with the title "King of Han" which was conferred by Xiangyu.In Hanzhong,Liu Bang focused his efforts on developing the agriculture and training an army,through which he reinforced his material accumulation and military power.Before long,Liu Bang left Hanzhong and stationed in the Central Shanxi Plain,where he launched a war now known as the Chu-Han War,against Xiangyu.The war lasted four years (206 - 202 BC) and ended with Liu Bang's victory.Having defeated Xiangyu,Liu Bang established the Han Dynasty in 202 BC and made Chang'an (present city of Xian) his capital city.Liu Bang became historically known as Emperor Gaozu.
During the time Liu Bang was in power,he continued to use the centralism created by Qin,replaced original vassals and granted lands to his relatives.In economy,he reduced taxes and developed agriculture,but he restricted the commerce.Emperor Gaozu's efforts laid a solid foundation for the over four-hundred-year reign of the Han Dynasty.
2 What qualifications make him a leader?
Liu Bang is broad-minded man,and well known for his generosity and willingness to help others.He was not good at fighting in the battle field or planning the strategy.But he knew his followers clearly,and appointed them to the most suitable positions and gave them the power they need.
On the contrary,His most formidable opponent,a general named Xiang YU,is arrogant and blindness to men of ability.Xiang Yu can invite anyone he wanted to his camps,but he was stingy in rewards.When rewards came,Liu Bang would give people their fair share.Thus,many people went to Xiang Yu in the beginning,but left for Liu Bang.This allowed Liu Bang to win.
Xiang Yu had a reputation for courage and magnanimity,but he was incapable of employing wise generals; when someone did render service he hesitated to compensate him with a fief.Instead he awarded his favorites.With this he was sowing the seeds of his destruction.
For example,Han Xin,one of the most important general of Liu Bang,had been an officer under Xiang Yu.Disappointed because his plans were rejected,Han Xin left Xiang Yu and joined Liu Bang's camp.Liu Bang chose an auspicious day,an altar was built,and to the roll of drums Han Xin was presented with the seal and certificate giving him power over the army.Then he directed the troops to defeat Xiang Yu.Further more,Ying Bu and Peng Yue,who were both powerful warlord,left Xiang Yu and joined Liu Bang,causing Xiang Yu to lose his power in the east.
In a word,Liu Bang was not a good fighter,but a good leader; while Xiang Yu was a great honorable fighter but he wasn't a great leader.
3 what challenges did he confront,and how did he overcome these challenges?
The biggest challenge that Liu Bang confronted is the war against Xiang Yu.At that time,Liu Bang is inferior to Xiang Yu.He knew clearly that if he fights with Xiang Yu face to face.So he followed the order of Xiang Yu and retreated to a remote countryside and fostered his strength secretly.In order to gain the trust of Xiang Yu,he even burn the only way from the area he ruled to the outside,meaning that he will not go out and fight again.The trick worked,and Xiang Yu didn鈥檛 pay any attention to him anymore.Then he focused his efforts on developing new agricultural methods for the people and trained his troops.He accumulated vast wealth and used it to increase his military power.When he was ready,he marched out and defeat Xiang Yu four years later.From the example we can see that he is a good leader because he knows the situation clearly and makes the right strategic decision.
4 Leadership style
There are many kinds of leadership styles.Two of the most extreme kinds are the autocrat and the democratic method.The leadership style should adjust to the particular circumstance.Even within the same organization,the situation could change from time to time,and the leadership style should change accordingly.We can see clearly from the example of Leonard D Schaeffer,who is the CEO of Blue Cross of California.His leadership style changed from autocratic to participative and to a reformer according to the internal and external of the organization.2 Liu Bang did do,too.When he was fighting against Qin Dynasty and Xiang Yu,he was a participative leader.He trusted his followers and appointed them to the best position.He just made some important decisions.He knows the importance of letting go.
When he became the emperor,his leadership style changed to autocratic.He didn鈥檛 trust his followers as much as he did before.He was always afraid that those people will betray him and rebel.So he seized the power to himself and became an autocratic leader.Routing loyal generals from his fiefdoms and replaced them with his own relatives.3 He tried to make every decision,big or small.And he was so afraid of the rebel and arrested and killed many of his faithful followers,which sowed the seed of the collapse of the empire.
5 What lessons can we learn form him?
There are three lessons we can learn from him.
Firstly,a good leader should know his followers very well and make the best of their abilities.The leader can鈥檛 be,and shouldn鈥檛 be,an expert in everything.He should know the strongpoint and shortcoming of his followers and give them the best position suitable for them.
Secondly,a good leader should be fare to his followers.He should encourage the good people and punish the bad ones according to their performance,not to his own will.If he fails to do so,the good ones will lose the impetus and the bad ones will remain bad.The moral of the team will drop dramatically.
Lastly,a good leader should learn to deal with crisis.Before a crisis,a good leader is extremely important.If he stays calm and made some right decision,the group will stay calm and run effectively.If not,the group will malfunction and much loss will occur.Just as Jeffrey W.Greenberg said in the article 鈥淪eptember 11,2001,a CEO鈥檚 Story鈥?鈥淚n a time of crisis,there is something reassuring about hearing the voice of a person in a position of authority,even if the information being provided is scant.鈥 4Liu Bang did well.Once upon a time in a battle,he was shot by an arrow in the chest and fell down the horse.His solders were so nervous and began to panic.He,as a good leader,knew the importance to stay calm before his man,tried to get up and pretend nothing serious happened.He said:鈥淚 was hurt in the toes,no big deal!鈥 The solders got relieved when hearing his words.The situation was under control again.If he fell down and didn鈥檛 get up in time,the troop would probably retreat.So,it鈥檚 import for a good leader to behave calmly and wisely in a crisis.
