Abstract Social polity, economy and culture, the cultural traditions, social systems, degree of market economy, education, and direction of information dissemination in China, have changed greatly with the development, which leads to gradual social power distance reduction. However, in reality, leadership behavior in corporations does not make changes correspondingly. The difference of awareness to power will lead to conflict sharply. In view of this, in response to the change of power distance, the leadership style should be transformational leadership instead of authoritarian leadership. The leadership behavior should be improved from the perspectives of group decision, appropriate authorization, reducing the mandatory rules, respect for staff and effective communication.
