Wherever you go, go with all your heart.

Well done is better than well said.

Exchanges and mutual learning among civilizations must not be built on the exclusive praise or belittling of one particular civilization… The ocean is vast because it refuses no rivers. All civilizations are crystallizations of mankind’s diligence and wisdom. Every civilization is unique.

Nothing is possible without individuals; nothing is lasting without institutions.

FROM THE FACULTY DIRECTOR

A heartfelt welcome to America, to Philadelphia — and to Penn! During your two weeks at Penn in the Global Leadership and Problem-Solving (GLPS) program, you will:

 Interact with more than a dozen distinguished faculty instructors or special guest leaders from government, business, and other sectors.  Analyze more than a half-dozen different global leadership and problem- solving dilemmas ranging from malaria in Africa to water shortages in America to hunger in Bangladesh to eldercare in China.  Complete several individual papers and four problem-solving learning exercises.  Conduct a major group problem-solving project.  Visit America’s capital city, Washington, D.C.  Enjoy two special culture and arts performances.  Participate in a closing forum on Sino-American relations. And we hope and expect that your time with us here will be only the beginning of our relationship with you. GLPS is a not only a program but part of a proud Penn tradition that goes back to our university’s founder, Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790). Franklin, the world-historic scientist, inventor, and statesman, founded Penn as

America’s first major nonsectarian institution of higher learning. At a time when Harvard, Yale, Princeton, and other leading colleges were sectarian religious institutions, Franklin’s university welcomed people of all religions and of no religion. Today, as Penn approaches its 300th anniversary in 2040, it is a renowned Ivy League school occupying a beautiful urban campus in America’s first capital city, historic Philadelphia. Penn is consistently ranked among America’s top ten universities, and Penn is ranked first in many academic fields. It is a very well-known fact that Penn’s founder signed or shaped each of the American Republic’s fundamental documents: the Declaration of Independence, the Articles of Confederation, and the Constitution. He also signed the Treaty of Paris. He was among the best known and most respected Americans of his time in Europe. He preached and practiced a principled but pragmatic brand of leadership, both domestic and global. It is a far less well-known fact that Franklin was significantly influenced by his study of Confucius.5 In the late 1730s, Franklin published in his weekly newspaper, The Pennsylvania Gazette, an essay entitled, “From the Morals of Confucius.” He made “an avid quest for information about China throughout most of his life.”6 Penn’s founder, America’s most important scientist-statesman and its first truly global citizen-leader, was “also the first and foremost American Sinophile.”7

— — — — — — — — — — — — — 5. For an overview, see Alfred Owen Aldridge, The Dragon and the Eagle: The Presence of China in the American Enlightenment (Wayne State University Press, 1993). 6. Ibid, p. 25. 7. Ibid.

2 FROM THE FACULTY DIRECTOR

We have conducted a GLPS program with top undergraduates from China in each of the last three summers. Though here for just a short time, our GLPS students are treated as a permanent part of our Penn family. Thus, my GLPS program colleagues and I have gone to China several times and held GLPS alumni events. (If you are interested, you can find the photographic and video evidence of these gatherings on the Fox Leadership International website: www.flipenn.org). As you may have noticed, page one of this booklet features quotes from Franklin, Confucius, President Xi Jinping, and Jean Monnet. These quotes are not just decorations. Rather, each quote reflects a key facet of the pedagogical approach to global leadership and problem-solving that we are excited to share with you.

Wherever you go, go with all your heart. The best social and behavioral science of leadership tells us that, other things being equal, a leader who goes wherever he or she goes, and does whatever he or she does, with all his or her “heart” — what we shall discuss as “passion” or “purpose” — is more likely to be effective at solving problems than an otherwise comparable leader who has no such sense of mission. Thus, throughout our GLPS program, you will be encouraged to be, as we say, “smart with heart.”

Well done is better than well said. Without ever disparaging learning for its own sake or denying that contemplation can be its own reward, Franklin was the prophet of the “American Enlightenment” who believed in learning mainly for the sake of measurably enhancing the daily well-being of as many people as possible. A related precept, which Franklin crafted to be the Library Company of Philadelphia’s motto, is “To pour forth benefits for the common good is divine.”8 Well done, we believe, is indeed better than well said, not least when the doing advances “the common good.” Thus, you will be challenged not merely to define and analyze complex problems, but to do so in ways that lend themselves, either immediately or in the future, to identifying, designing, and implementing solutions to such problems.

Exchanges and mutual learning among civilizations must not be built on the exclusive praise or belittling of one particular civilization. . . The ocean is vast because it refuses no rivers. All civilizations are crystallizations of mankind’s diligence and wisdom. Every civilization is unique. As Franklin understood in relation to China, each nation and culture has something to teach and something to learn from other nations and cultures. President Xi is right about the value of cross-cultural “mutual learning,” and he is also right that people in all nations and cultures have much the same basic hopes and aspirations: “They want to have better education, more stable jobs, more income, reliable social security, better medical and health care, improved housing conditions and a beautiful environment. They hope that their children will have sound growth, good jobs and more enjoyable lives.”9 Thus, we will beckon you to consider how mutual, cross-cultural, problem-solving learning can pave a path to fulfilling basic human hopes and aspirations in China, in America, and in and for the peoples of other nations and cultures.

— — — — — — — — — — — — — 8. Translated from the Latin, Communiter Bona profundere Deum est, and inaugurated as the Library Company of Philadelphia’s motto in 1732. 9. President Xi Jinping, “The People’s Wish for a Good Life is Our Goal,” speech at the press conference of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the 18th CPC Central Committee, November 12, 2012, as excerpted in Xi Jinping, The Governance of China (Foreign Languages Press, 2014), p. 4.

3 FROM THE FACULTY DIRECTOR

Nothing is possible without individuals; nothing is lasting without institutions. Finally, the insight of the founding father of the European Union reminds us that it takes networks of organizations to predictably and reliably mobilize the human and financial resources necessary to start or sustain problem-solving action and achieve given goals over time. We will follow this wisdom throughout your time with us by having you search for ways to create and establish workable problem-solving partnerships among and between governments, businesses, and nonprofit organizations.

So, why conduct and participate in a GLPS program like ours?

Because, by following in Franklin’s footsteps, and drawing on the wisdom of a culturally diverse array of other notable leaders, we believe that 21st century leaders can find principled yet pragmatic paths to international peace and cooperation while meeting major domestic challenges and addressing difficult public problems.

Because we know that no future leaders will prove more vital to global futures than those from China and America.

And because we are blessed to be free to help educate, equip, and empower one another as present or potential problem-solving global leaders — not just in the couple of weeks that we are together in America, in Philadelphia, and at Penn, but throughout the rest of our and your respective future professional and civic lives.

Problem-Solving Leadership Exercise #1 Which Incentives Would You Use? The United States has what is arguably the largest and most complicated body of environmental protection laws in the world. In 1980, the U.S. Congress passed and President Jimmy Carter signed the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA). The CERCLA created the so-called Superfund program, a primary objective of which was to clean up thousands of known hazardous or toxic waste sites. Some progress has been made, yet today, nearly forty years later, there are still more than 3,000 “national priority cleanup sites” all across America, and one in four Americans still lives within three miles of a hazardous waste site.

Scenario (Hypothetical):

Imagine that you are serving as a high-level summer “educational and cultural exchange” intern at the U.S. federal government agency that is responsible for the ongoing cleanup. Imagine that in one middle-sized American city, a major private corporation is using loopholes in the law to continue to dump certain toxic wastes into a cleanup site, and that there is no chance that the loopholes can be closed anytime soon or before the major private corporation dumps lots more toxic waste at the site.

Question:

In this hypothetical scenario, imagine that you were asked by your internship supervisor the following question: “What would you do if you were in charge? Given that we are unable to change the law so as to make the corporation’s action illegal and punishable, what might you try to induce it to stop polluting?”

Assignment:

Answer the question in a memo of not more than 250 words. Address the memo to the “Internship Supervisor.” Do NOT do additional research — this is not a test of what you know or can learn via the internet about the actual facts concerning toxic waste sites in America or anything of the kind. Rather, this is an opportunity to reflect on how you think about “getting others to think and act in accordance with your preferences” and which incentive or combination of incentives you think are generally most likely to induce compliance unto solving a discrete but difficult problem.

BACKGROUND by Dr. Curran:

China is the most rapidly changing and economically dynamic country in the world, and this lecture is intended to introduce you to a single dimension of this vibrant and complex environment, its water resources.

Of course, one cannot master China’s long history in a short period of time, but grasping some historic essentials of its water management decisions allows the observer to place his or her analysis in the proper context.

Clearly, China’s waters, its rivers, lakes, and canals, were the foundation of its greatness and continue to play a significant role. For example, Dujiangyan Irrigation System was constructed around 250 BC on the Min River, the longest tributary of the Yangtze, in Chengdu, Sichuan Province. The area was extremely prone to flooding and the construction used a new method that channeled water naturally rather than the use of walls blocking the flow. Still in use today for irrigation, the Dujiangyan system was named a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2000.

Importantly, for all of its many benefits, the economic transformation of China also has had several negative consequences. Consider the following:

 It is estimated that 80 percent of China’s groundwater is not fit for consumption and about 90 percent of urban groundwater is contaminated.

 About 360 million citizens, a quarter of the population, do not have access to clean water.

 One official study reported that 70 percent of China’s lakes and rivers are polluted to the point that they cannot sustain marine life.

 Water scarcity is another major challenge; a fifth of the world’s population live in China, a country that contains less than 7 percent of the planet’s fresh water.

The majority of the pollution is linked to centuries of unregulated or under-regulated water management; it is not a recent problem and the rivers play the key role. With respect to enacting proper public policies and effecting well-balanced regulations regarding water management, China shares a poor history with many other countries. Farming and manufacturing near critical water resources is just one variable. For example, along the Yellow River, often referred to as the cradle of Chinese civilization, there are estimated to be 4,000 petrochemical plants.

As we will see, attempts to remediate some of the issues have had significant negative results. New construction of dams has also brought debate about the future of China's water and that of neighboring nations.

In 2011, China's government officially acknowledged the "urgent problems" of the Three Gorges Dam. The Three Gorges Dam was completed and fully functional as of July 4, 2012 and it is probably the most notorious dam in history. The dam body was completed in 2006 and resulted in record numbers of people displaced (more than 1.2 million), number of cities and towns flooded (13 cities, 140 towns, 1,350 villages), and length of reservoir (more than 600 kilometers). The project’s environmental impact is hard to assess and without significant governmental oversight will worsen.

During our session, we will examine some current regulatory practices, including governmental positions, non-governmental agency activities, and local initiatives, related to the water management, both in China and the United States. But the central question with which you will be left to analyze is this:
