Motivational skills
Many people say, in fact historically proven, he was one of the most influence over China in the past 150 years, he had power over China or even any group of people, longer than any of the current twentieth century figures. One of the most prominent communist theoreticians, he must have somewhat skill to take control of his people.
How He motivated his people to be loyal to him?
His motivation is mostly not immediate results, most of the motivation was the result that China would get in the future.
- He assured success and take care of everyone's welfare in the whole of China, people would live in luxury.
- He was letting China have the "opportunity" of experiencing revolution for the Betterment of the country.
- The Cultural Revolution itself was a motivation for the followers involved in the CCP (Chinese communist party)
How were the students (younger generation of the population in China) involved and so fond of Chairman Mao?
- Simply the idealism, and love for Mao.
- The need, drive to belong to something.
- Frustration of schooling and inequalities of the children facing made them love Mao.
- Thrill of rebellion.
Will it motivate me?
Yes, as the condition of China around 1950's were really bad, economy and industrialisation was inactive, slow and miserable. If Chairman Mao were to propose revolutionary ideas (Cultural revolution), I would definitely take a chance and support him.
