ABSTRACT

In this study, the authors analyze the leadership which Former Senior Secretary to the President for Economic Policy Won-Chul O showed during the industrialization process of Korea, based on governance theories as the point where he showed leadership and power resources theories as the means for him to show leadership. According to the research findings, Won-Chul O showed his leadership by exerting both hard and soft power in relationship with state and non-state actors in order to solve numerous pubic problems arising during the industrialization process. In particular, his leadership had a positive influence on successful implementation of the initially planned policies by inducing change in ideas and behaviors of the other parties in most cases, thereby contributing to solving or alleviating the public problems associated with industrialization. Particularly, Won-Chul O showed bottom-up and active leadership, rather than top-down and passive leadership, by playing a role of the problem solver providing both accurate cause analysis and creative policy ideas and of the mediator encompassing state and non-state actors in enforcing policies.
