Following the economic reforms started in 1978, now market economy become prevalent in China in 1992. Enterprise managers obtained much more power than they had had previously. This paper presents the results of investigating the top managers' leadership types, based on eighteen different sized enterprises in Zhejiang Province, China. The results suggest that in cognition of the top managers' leadership types, there are significant differences among the top managers themselves, the middle managers, and technicians in Chinese enterprises. The cognitive patterns indicate that the top managers like to recognize their own leadership types as more decentralized than they are, while the middle managers like their top managers to demonstrate the more decentralized type, and the technicians prefer them to act in a manner between the centralized type and decentralized type. It is clear that the leadership climate is not very favorable to top managers in Chinese enterprises who must face the conflicts between their own expectations of their leadership roles, and the expectations of their subordinate managers and technicians.
