We have discussed about the definition of dimensions of political leadership and how can we meaningfully understand, and even evaluate political leadership. I would like to suggest the six-major criteria. First, criterion is leadership style where the leader was democratic, authoritarian, paternalistic, laissez-faire, transformative. Another important way of examining political leadership is personal traits, whether leader was rational or emotional, whether leader was proactive or reactive or whether leader was prudential or impromptu, whether leader was decisive or hesitant. That we can look at these kind of personal traits through which we can evaluate performance of specific leaders. Third dimension is ideological orientation. Conservative versus progressive or eclectic. But usually, left, center, right of the ideological spectrum gives you one important way of evaluating ideological orientation of leaders. All important dimension is power base. A leader cannot exist without power base. The size of power base, natural coalition of support. Whether leader had pursued inclusive or exclusive way of consolidating his, or her support. Those are very important variables through which we can understand political leadership. The fifth dimension is decision making style, whether leader has adopted delegative in a pattern of decision-making or need the extra side direct control and commend over its followers or the bureaucrats. Only the ten people are very invasive and irresponsible by attributing all of the responsibility to his or her agent, or agent consulting or not. Those are the very important dimensions of decision-making style. Finally, performance matter. Perhaps the most important variable in the evaluation of political leadership is performance category to what extent the leader has delivered security needs of society, to what extent leader performed an economic goal and how about distribution and equality in society? And also, integration and unity in society. Those are the every important factors through which we can evaluate political leader's performance, as you can see in South Korea here. In this class, we have so many political leaders, but I have defined from the president of Korea as the distinct leaders. Therefore, have President Rhee Syngman during the First Republic. Park Chung-hee, Third and Fourth Republic. Chun Doo-hwan, Fifth Republic. Roh Tae-woo, Kim Young-sam, Kim Dae-jung, Roh Moo-hyun, Lee Myung-bak. They were presidents of this Sixth Republic since 1987. Now, we see the very interesting data here. In a survey done in Korean and some other sources too, but here presidential preference by the Korean citizens. This survey was conducted in 2015, just one year ago. It is surprising President Roh Moo-hyun who committed suicide was the most popular. You can see in September 2015, his popularity was 40.9%. That was followed by Park Chung-hee, 26.1%. Kim Dae-jung, 12.7% and Park Geun-Hye, the incoming president, 13.4%. Lee Myung-bak, the president before Park Geun-hye was just barely 2.2. And other president, such as Kim Young-sam, Chun Doo-hwan, Rho Tae-woo and Rhee Syngman. They were considered rather insignificant. Obviously, Kim Dae-jung and Roh Tae-woo were arrested and put in jail, because of treason charges, but they staged military coup in 1980. And also, corruption charges too. Therefore, they was kind of disqualified, but Syngman and Kim Yong-sun, perhaps Syngman was the president's long time ago and Kim Yong-sun should perhaps shown a bad performance. But here, later would be jamming three leaders. I. He moved out from our analysis, President Moo-hyun and President Park Chung-hee. President Moo-hyun was president during 2003 and 2007, so that short while ago is why purposefully excluded Moo-hyun from our examination. Park Geun-Hye is incumbent president and her term is not over is why I also excluded from my survey, but I picked three leaders. First, it is Syngman who was the founder of the Republic of Korea in 1948 and the first republic that I chose him. Another one is Park Chung-hee. Park Chung-hee is one of the most important representatives from the conservative camp and third, Kim Dae-jung. Therefore, later would be examining those three leaders, but this is amazing. Normally, he was the most progressive leader. And when he was president, he was a by mainstream South Koreans. But after his death, his popularity remains very high and he is a very interesting president. But toward at the end of this class, in the concluding part, I will talk about Lee Myung and President Moo-hyun.
