Abstract

The incorporation of the ancient Chinese philosophies of Legalism, Confucianism, and Daoism into contemporary leadership techniques in China's various industries is examined in this study. The study identifies how these traditional philosophies inform contemporary leadership strategies. The study reveals that Daoism’s emphasis on balance and non-interference influences leadership styles that prioritize flexibility and adaptability, though it is less explicitly reflected in leadership practices. Confucianism’s focus on respect, trust, and moral integrity is evident in leaders’ emphasis on role modeling, sincerity, and fostering harmonious relationships in organizations. Legalism, with its focus on strict rules, regulations, and performance-based incentives, plays a prominent role in shaping leadership practices related to governance, accountability, and operational efficiency. The research shows that Chinese leaders combine elements of these philosophies to create a leadership approach that is both morally grounded and pragmatically effective. By blending Confucian values of moral leadership, Daoist principles of harmony, and Legalist approaches to structure and discipline, leaders navigate the complexities of modern business environments. The study offers valuable insights into how ancient Chinese thought continues to influence contemporary leadership, proposing a hybrid leadership model that integrates traditional wisdom with modern strategic frameworks for more sustainable organizational management.

Abstract

Atherosclerotic disease significantly impacts patients with type 2 diabetes, who often present with recalcitrant peripheral ulcers. The angiosome model of the foot presents an opportunity to perform direct angiosome-targeted endovascular interventions to maximise both wound healing and limb salvage. A systematic review was performed, with 17 studies included in the final review. Below-the-knee endovascular interventions present significant technical challenges, with technical success depending on the length of lesion being treated and the number of angiosomes that require treatment. Wound healing was significantly improved with direct angiosome-targeted angioplasty, as was limb salvage, with a significant increase in survival without major amputation. Indirect angioplasty, where the intervention is applied to collateral vessels to the angiosomes, yielded similar results to direct angiosome-targeted angioplasty. Applying the angiosome model of the foot in direct angiosome-targeted angioplasty improves outcomes for patients with recalcitrant diabetic foot ulcers in terms of primary wound healing, mean time for complete wound healing and major amputation-free survival.
