Abstract：On the review of the strategic leadership, the paper clarifies three noticeable drawbacks of the extant researches: the confused definitions of the strategic leadership; lacking of being systematic and dynamic and irrelevance of academic researches and management practices. Based on the interpretations of leadership by the HeXie Management Theory, we propose the definition of strategic leadership, which emphasizes the coupling of the "providing guidance" and " allocating resources", locates on the organizational level, emphasizes the longterm sustainable development of the organization and deploys current resources based on the future orientation. Finally, it argues that the introduction of the HeXie Management Theory can offset the drawbacks of the extant researches to some extent and accelerates the development of the strategic leadership research.
