There is an essential concept in Taoist wisdom called Wu Wei. The term is Lao Zi's advice aimed at understanding the limits of human behavior as a leader to face various possibilities. This leadership concept has similarities and differences with Platonic teachings called Philosophers King, which has often become an ideal standard for leadership in the Western world. This research is intended to bring these two concepts of Eastern and Western leadership as materials for developing character-building education. This study uses the literacy comparison method to synthesize the two concepts above. The results of this study show that both the leadership teachings of Wu Wei-Lao Zi and the Platonic philosopher King favor the leader's intelligence to control himself to be able to control the conditions and others. Several differences between the two concepts can be considered to develop character education in Indonesia. [For the complete proceedings, see ED672804.]
