ABSTRACT
Ancient Eastern philosophy encompasses a vast and intricate tapestry of ideas, woven together by the shared pursuit of understanding life, human nature, and the universe. Emerging from diverse cultures and civilisations during the first millennium BCE, the teachings from this epoch resonate with unparalleled depth ancond wisdom, profoundly influencing both thought and action. Leadership, an essential facet of human societies, is rooted deeply in these ancient tenets. This chapter delves into the intersection of Eastern philosophy and leadership, exploring the seminal contributions of four monumental figures: Confucius, Lao Tzu, Sun Tzu, and Siddhartha Gautama.
