    Abstract
    This study aims to find a way to establish a virtuous leadership cycle through the exploration of Taoist philosophy. Taoism was created to help ancient Chinese emperors to rule for a long time, and some of its views were also studied and used by some dynasties. Its classic work, Tao Te Ching, includes many discussions about governance, such as action and non-action, and leadership like water. This thesis interprets Taoism from the perspective of modern leadership through the reappearance of its practical history and the textual analysis of Tao Te Ching. Surprisingly, the results show that its content involves at least four modern management fields: leadership, motivation, organizational structure, and strategic planning. It is more like a map to guide leaders on how to use relevant skills.
