Yunnan is located on the southwest border of China. It is a province inhabited by ethnic minorities with a flourishing multi-ethnic culture and coexistence of multiple religions. Due to the constraints and influence of humanities, geography, politics, economy, transportation, and other factors, Yunnan's private universities started late, and the development of higher education in Yunnan also lags behind other developed regions. According to the latest list of national universities released by the Ministry of Education of China, as of 2023, there are 83 universities in Yunnan, of which 21 are private universities, accounting for 25.3% of the universities in the province. Private universities have become an important part of Yunnan's education.In the review of existing literature, it is found that the existing research materials are more related to the development status of private universities, and there are few studies on the leadership of private university presidents. There is no relevant literature reflecting the current leadership status of private university presidents in Yunnan. Based on the summary of pertinent literature on the leadership of private university’s presidents, the researchers have analyzed six leadership dimensions, namely vision, strategy, communication and coordination, interpersonal relationships, motivation and team building, management and operation capabilities, education reform and innovation, and policies and laws and regulations. Therefore, this study will design a questionnaire on the current status of the leadership of presidents of private universities in Yunnan based on these six leadership dimensions, and conduct data analysis on the 202 questionnaires collected on the current status of the leadership of private universities in Yunnan. According to the survey results, in general, the respondents are not very satisfied with the overall leadership of private universities presidents of in Yunnan. Therefore, the core of this study will focus on the factors affecting the president’s leadership of private universities in Yunnan.
