2. A brief summary of Yitzhak Rabin’s career
2.1 Childhood
In March 1st, 1922, Yitzhak Rabin was born in Jerusalem. His father and mother immigrated to Palestine in 1917 and 1919 respectively, as part of the Third immigrant wave. His father, Nehemiah, worked in the Electric Company who was an active unionist. His mother, Rosa, was in the Haganah which was a Jewish self-defense organization. She was also in the labor movement and as a member of the Tel Aviv Municipal Council. Rabin’s family relocated to Tel Aviv when he was one year old. He grew up there. During 1928 to 1935, Rabin attended the School which was for workers’ Children in Tel Aviv. In 1935 to 1937, he went to intermediary regional school at Kibbutz Givat Hashlosha. After this, during 1937 to 1940 Rabin attended the Kadoorie Agricultural High School, located in the Lower Galilee at the foot of Mt. Tabor. While at Kadoorie, Rabin joined the Haganah. After graduating high school in 1940 he joined the No’ar Ha’oved (Working Youth) training program at Kibbutz Ramat Yohanan which located in north of Haifa. (Liu Xiaoping, 2004)
2.2 Service in Haganah and Palmach
In 1941 Rabin joined the Palmach which founded that year. He was one of the first recruits in it. He was serving under Moshe Dayan who was a famous general in Israel. They joined with British forces in invading Syria and Lebanon to block a German foothold in the region. In June 1941, Rabin’s unit infiltrated into Lebanon and cut the electricity system between Tyre and Sidon. After a while, he became a commander in the Palmach. And in 1945, he was appointed deputy commander of Palmach’s First Battalion. On October 10, 1945, Rabin’s Battalion broke into the British detention camp at Atlit, in an attempt to free 200 “illegal” immigrants held there. On June 29, 1946, which day that also known as Black Saturday, he was arrested by the British and sent to a detention camp in Rafiah, where he was held for five months. After he was free, Rabin became the commander of the Palmach’s Second Battalion, assigned to secure the water line supplying the Negev. (Linda Benedikt, 2005)
2.3 War of Independence
In October 1947, Rabin became the Palmach’s chief operations officer. At this position, he was responsible for supply convoys to Jerusalem, which was under siege and cut off from the center of the country. In April 1948, Rabin worked as commander of the Palmach Harel Brigade which was new established. He assigned to defend the corridor leading to Jerusalem. During the war, many of his friends and comrades fell down. From July to December of 1948, he served as operations with the rank of lieutenant colonel. Soon he was masterminding a successful campaign wich drove the Egyptians and Jordanians from the Negev desert in Operations Yoav, Lot, Assaf, Horev and Uvdah. In 1949 he took part in the Israeli-Egyptian armistice negotiations in Rhodes.
2.4 Service in the Israel Defense Forces
In 1949, Rabin was appointed commander of the I.D.F.’s first course for battalion and promoted to colonel. In 1950 he was the head of the General Staff’s Operations Division. One of the most important tasks for him was organizing transit camps for over 100,000 new immigrants who began streaming into Israel immediately after independence. In January 1954, Rabin was promoted to major general and was appointed head of the General Staff Training Division. From 1956 to 1959 he headed the Northern Command. In May 1959 he became chief of the Operations Branch. Rabin was named deputy chief of staff in January 1961. He was appointed the seventh chief of staff in January1964. In the Six-Day War, June 1967, the I.D.F.’s state of readiness under his command emerged with a stunning victory. They defeating Arab armies on three fronts and occupying the Sinai Peninsula, the Golan Heights, the West Bank and East Jerusalem.
2.5 Diplomatic Service
Leaving military in 1968, Rabin took the position of ambassador to the United States., for five years. It was during the administrations of Presidents Johnson and Nixon. Under Cold War rivalry at that time, Rabin considered that the relationship between Israel’s and the U.S. was supreme importance to balance Arab countries which had strong support from Soviet Union. He focused on solid U.S.-Israel ties. He insisted the acquisition of American arms and military equipment. He was involved in such diplomatic initiatives as the 1969 Rogers Plan, which led to a cease-fire between Israel and Egypt, and the search for a permanent agreement with Egypt.
2.6 Political Service
Joining the Labor Party of Israel in September 1973, Rabin was elected 23rd on its list for the Knesset. He was considered as a candidate for minister of defense. In March 1974, with the electoral victory of Labor, he was appointed minister of labor in Prime Minister Golda Meir’s government. However, because deficient preparation of the Agranat Commission Report in the Yom Kippur War, Meir resigned in April 1974. Rabin was elected head of the Labor Party and its candidate to take over the role of prime minister, beating Shimon Peres. Gaining a vote of confidence in the Knesset, he became prime minister on June 3, 1974.
2.7 Rabin’s First Term as Prime Minister
Rabin had very tough negotiations with Egypt and Syria over post-war interim agreements, mediated by U.S. Secretary of State Kissinger using his famous shuttle diplomacy. The second interim agreement signed with Egypt in September 1975. In this interim agreement, Israel canceled many requires, including withdrew from part of the strategic passes and the oil fields in Sinai. Rabin marked the beginning of the process and eventually led to the Camp David Accords. A series of secret meetings were held between Prime Minister Rabin and King Husayn of Jordan and with King Hassan of Morocco in efforts to promote peace. In July 1976, Israeli hostages on a plane hijacked. But they were rescued from Uganda by the I.D.F. This was a great success in the war with terrorists. It demonstrated that Israel refused to capitulate to terrorism. In April 1977, Yitzhak Rabin resigned as prime minister in the wake of the revelation that his wife, Leah, retained a bank account in the U.S. from the time her husband had served as ambassador there. (At the time, operating a foreign currency account was illegal under Israeli currency law.) (Yang Mansu, 2007)
2.8 As Minister of Defense
In 1984, the national government of Israel agreed to elect Rabin as minister of defense, until the failure of the second unity government in 1990. One of his tasks was disengaging the I.D.F. from a war of attrition in Lebanon. The two sides of the war established a narrow zone of security in southern Lebanon. He also canceled the Lavi aircraft project which developed by Israel Aircraft Industries. Also, he cut off part of the defense budget as part of efforts to help the economy and halt inflation. In December 1987, the outburst of the Intifada (the Palestinian uprising in the occupied territories) caught Israel by surprise. Rapidly, Israel escalated to alarming proportions. Rabin initially adopted an iron-fist policy to suppress the uprising and instructed the I.D.F. to respond to Palestinian assaults with determination. When King Hussein unexpectedly announced that Jordan was relinquishing its sovereignty over the West Bank, Rabin realized that only the Palestinians could be the real partners in any settlement. Rabin joined Peres’s peace efforts to seek credible channels of communication with them. During a meeting with King Hussein in 1988, the London Document was drawn up, which was an outline for a proposed peace treaty between Jordan and Israel. Early in 1989 he presented his plan for negotiations with the Palestinians. It became the foundation for the Madrid International Peace Conference and the start of the peace process.
2.9 Second Term as Prime Minister
Rabin led the Labor Party, won the Knesset elections of Israel in June 1992. Once in office, he immediately focused on how to make a peace agreement with the Palestinians. In Washington top-secret negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians failed. Further negotiations gathered momentum in Oslo from late 1992 to early 1993. The result was good. The signing of the Oslo Accords was in Norway on August 20, 1993. On September 13 of that year, the historic Israeli-Palestinian Declaration of Principles was signed at the White House in Washington. Known as the Oslo-A Agreement, as well as “Gaza-Jericho First,” the Declaration guaranteed Palestinians self-rule in the territories for a period of five years. In the first phase Israel would withdraw from the Gaza Strip and Jericho city, and would later leave agreed areas, West Bank. The Palestinians would hold elections. The Gaza-Jericho Agreement granted the Palestinians autonomy in Gaza and Jericho. This agreement was signed on May 4, 1994. The I.D.F. abandoned the areas agreed. A tripartite summit in Washington between Rabin, King Husayn of Jordan and U. S. President Clinton, held in Washington on July 25, 1994. The result was the Washington Declaration. This declaration marked the official end of hostilities between Israel and Jordan. The signing of a comprehensive peace treaty between the two countries was held on October 12, 1994. On December 10, 1994, the Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to Yasser Arafat, Shimon Peres and Yitzhak Rabin. The Oslo-B Agreement was signed by Israel and the P.L.O. in Washington on September 28, 1995. It was said that put the West Bank areas under administer of the new Palestinian Authority. At the night of November 4, 1995, at the end of a peace rally at Kings of Israel Square in Tel Aviv, Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin was assassinated by a young Jewish student. (Leah Rabin, 1999)
3. Outstanding leadership traits
3.1 Physical and Background Traits
When Yitzhak Rabin was born, the relatives and friends come to congratulate. At that time they did not think that this child could become a great person and later can work as general or premier. There are many children named Yitzhak in the Jew. But this Yitzhak is different with other Yitzhaks, because people who come to celebrate were many honored guests, include David Ben Gurion and Golda Meir. Afterward Israel was established by those people. Yitzhak Rabin’s family had good relationship with these leaders. His father was David Ben Gurion’s follower. His mother was Golda Meir’s workmate. (Benedikt, Linda, 2005) Among the leaders of Israeli, many people knew well with /Rabin’s parents besides David Ben Gurion and Madame Meir. Before the founding of the nation, their house in Tel Aviv was like a political Saloon. In this place, leaders of Labor Party showed up frequently. These people like there unrestrained and relaxed atmosphere and boundlessly political environment very much. When adults were publishing their opinions fervently, Rabin and his sister silently did the service. Little Rabin was affected by this atmosphere.
When little Rabin in the School for Workers’ Children, he learned how to be adamancy. Jews believe that the child is the future of the country. They must accept the strictest education and training since childhood. In the school, the students must prepare food, wash clothes, grow vegetables and do all kinds of odd jobs. Selfish and lazy will be punished. (Liu Xiaoping, 2004)
The Kadoorie Agricultural High School’s atmosphere was entirely different with the School for Workers’ Children. The great force disappeared, what comes was the harmonious and loose atmosphere. Although the school had arranged many kinds of work and the voluntary service of public utility, the mode of administration was democratized. During tests, teachers did not monitor an exam in the classroom in order to express respect to students. In this case, there were seldom cheats during the examinations. Teachers gave students knowledge and the sense of responsibility by the way of discussion. Student association had played a very important role in their autonomy.
3.2 Personality and Ability Traits
Rabin was a perceptiveness person. During the World War II, Palmach was used to protect Israel from attacking of Germany. But after World War II, leaders of Israel thought that Palmach was not useful any more. They decided to break the ranks. It was not necessary to keep this troop. So, many soldiers leaved Palmach. They went to battlefields in Europe. Yitzhak Rabin totally disagreed with these leaders decision. He believed that the postwar Palestinian would probably have conflict between the Jews and Arabs inevitably. At that time, would be the only force which Jews depend upon. Therefore, they must maintain the frame of Palmach and did not let it disperse. At last, the history had proven that he is right. On May 15, 1948, after a few hours of Israel founded, Arabic countries started their attack. Fortunately, the frame of Palmach was kept by Rabin’s intense advice. ( Kurzman, Dan, 1999)
Rabin had a good speech skill. He was imposing in peace assembly, when he gave a lecture to the public. His speech was also very profound. For example, during his last speech, he used the firm expression to say to the assembly people: “I worked as a serviceman for 27 years, attended the war for a long time. That is because I to have no alternative in the past. But today opportunity of peace is coming. We cannot seize this opportunity, for the people who are here and who are not here today.”
3.3 Task and Social Traits
No matter what the position was, Rabin Always had great responsibility to his motherland. For example, when he worked as an ambassador to the USA, he tried his best to get profit for Israel. In order to get protect and weapons from the USA, Rabin argued with Kissinger for many times. When he worked as Prime Minister of Israel he worked even harder. He always stayed up all night. He ask for safe pledge of Israel from the USA as much as he could.
Rabin would like to use all of the resources to work for him. For example, in order to get from the USA, Rabin visited Member of Parliament Ford, Senator Jackson and Union Organizer Minnie and so on. He poured out his disaffection to them. This was very useful. Under pressures, Nixon, the president of the USA, promised to give F-4 fighter planes to Israel.
4. Major Leadership Behaviors
4.1 Directive Leadership Behaviors
On the morning of June 27, 1976, Rabin was presiding over a routine Sunday cabinet meeting in premier’s office. Suddenly, his military assistant enters the meeting room in a hurry, gave Rabin a massage which he just received anxiously. 139 flights of France Airline which flied from Tel Aviv to Paris, after retook off from Athens, was kidnapped by terrorists. On this airplane there were 230 passengers, including 83 Israeli citizens. What the strategy which terrorists adopted was “trades comrades by the hostages”. Exchange their members who were imprisoning in various countries with Israeli hostages in their hand. As soon as Rabin got this information, he constituted hijack emergency processing group rapidly. First, he commanded his defense minister to give a rescue plan as soon as possible. Then, he asked the ambassador to France to have a negotiation with terrorists. After the defense minister gave him the rescue plan, without the permission of the cabinet, Rabin sent the commandos out. This action was very successful. Only four Israel citizens were dead in this hijack emergency. (Liu Xiaoping, 2004) From this we can say that Rabin was a good directive leader. His quick reaction and good planning, scheduling were astonishing.
4.2 Participative Leadership Behaviors
Rabin was elected as premier, to him is a miracle, to the entire Israeli Leadership symbolizes that the leadership shifted in the next generation which was locally born in Israel from the early Eastern Europe immigrant pioneers. Under this environment, the approximate dictatorship was very hard to sustain. When David Ben Gurion was the leader of Israel, cabinet's important decision almost equaled with his decision. During Madame Meir’s time, it was very hard to change her mind. She even decides the national affairs in the kitchen; therefore, people called the cabinet “the kitchen cabinet”. But when Rabin worked as premier, the situation is dissimilar. All of the important matters would decide by group of inner-party leaders. Even in Coalition government, other small party's opinion should also be respected. For example, Rabin did not decide minister; the Labor Party interior decided who would be the ministers in the candidate. Rabin suggested Allon works as defense minister, but the party insisted that Peres hold the post of this duty. Finally, Rabin let Allon be foreign minister.( Kurzman, Dan, 1999)
4.3 Other Leadership Behaviors
Except the directive leadership behaviors and participative leadership behaviors, Rabin also had supportive leadership behaviors and charismatic leadership behaviors. For example, he trusted and respected his followers, and he showed concern for follower’s need. He made so many inspirational speeches, and sometimes he took risks to achieve missions.
In fact, Rabin combined these leadership behaviors together during his work. It was much more effective than use each leadership behaviors separately.
5. If Yitzhak Rabin worked in hospitality industry
Rabin was very successful in the military and politics. What about in the hospitality industry? I believe the answer is YES.
Rabin’s enthusiasm during his work will be a good model for his followers. He had a positive attitude when working for his country. If he works for a hotel or a restaurant, he would also use the positive attitude to work. His followers will be imperceptibly influenced by what they constantly see what Rabin is conducts and hear what Rabin is saying.
Rabin’s social status will also give him a big help. His father, Nehemiah, was not only a worker, but also an active unionist. His mother, Rosa, was in the Haganah which was a Jewish self-defense organization. She was also in the labor movement and as a member of the Tel Aviv Municipal Council. He knows a lot of big leaders in Israel, like Golda Meir and David Ben Gurion. (Yang Mansu, 2007) His followers will admire him very much. This will increase his referent power in leadership.
Rabin had good negotiation skills and communication skills. If he works in a hotel or a restaurant, these skills can help the company to attract more clients and gain more profits. Just like what he did at the position of ambassador to the USA. He used his good communication skills to build good relationship with many Americans who were in high position in the government, for example, Kissinger, Ford, and so on. (Dr. Uri Milstein, 1999) He could also negotiate with the competitors of the company. I am sure Rabin will increase the competitive power a lot. Whoever gets Rabin who will be successful.
His directive leadership behaviors are very useful in the hospitality industry. In a hotel or a restaurant, it is possible that emergency comes out. In this situation, we need a leader who likes Rabin to deal with this emergency rapidly. He could make executable plans in advance to deal with all kinds of accident which are foreseeable. Just like he deal with the hijacking issue. He made the right decision quickly and used right strategy. (Liu Xiaoping, 2004) Hotels and restaurants can protect their property and assets by using these plans when an emergency come out.
His supportive leadership behaviors are more useful than his directive leadership behaviors in the hospitality industry. Most of his followers in the hotels and restaurants are not have enough ability. They need his support. Due to Rabin’s good communication skills and interpersonal skills, it is easier for his to use supportive leadership behaviors.

After research Rabin’s life, we can see that he is not a perfect person. In his early age, he was trying to carry out the aggression and expansionist policy positively. But he could conform to the history trend; blow the peaceful wind in the Middle East. He transformed from a renowned hero in the war to the dauntless peaceful warrior, finally sacrificed his own life for the Middle East Peace heroically. “The brave soldier, the dauntless statesman and the outstanding peace founder”, are the objective evaluation to his extraordinary life from the people. He loved his motherland deeply, loved peace deeply. This kind of spirit is the wealth for human being forever. This kind of spirit is a flag, which will lead the people forever. His high ambition and the indomitable spirit is the glory for the people of all over the world.
By analyzing Rabin’s traits and leadership behaviors, we can say that he was a good leader not only in military, but also in politics. Assumed that Rabin worked in the hospitality industry, he will be a successful leader.
