Better Use Defective Talents Than Perfect Flawless Mediocre People.

Some of the talents have obvious shortcomings and are obviously unacceptable.

Some people are abandoned because of too many shortcomings.

In fact, we have only seen the shortcoming of talents, and have not seen the advantages of talents.

Generally speaking, talents are high and low, and their shortcomings and advantages are very outstanding.

So smart business leaders will cleverly avoid the shortcomings of talents, or curb their shortcomings, and make good use of his strengths, to play his strong points.

We might as well see how the ancients used talented people with shortcomings.

In June, 370, the former Prime Minister of the Qin Dynasty, Wang Meng, the commander of the sixty thousand army, had exclaimed the former swallow.

Murong, the former Yan Tai Fu, rated the three hundred thousand army against the Qin army, and the two armies held a stalemate in Luochuan.

On the eve of the decisive battle, Wang Meng tried to make clear the enemy's situation, so that he knew what he knew, and sent General Xu Cheng, a general of Deng Qiang, to spy on the Yanjun army.

But Xu Cheng violated the military order and did not come back until evening.

Wang Meng was very angry and tried to kill Xu Cheng by military law.

At that time Deng Qiang came out to speak for Xu Cheng and said that the enemy was not strong enough. He was about to start a war. Xu Cheng was a general. He should be pardoned for his death penalty so that he could take advantage of his crimes.

Wang Meng did not agree with him. He thought he would not kill Xu Cheng, and he had no credibility in military law.

Deng Qiang, because Xu Cheng is his own ministry, strongly asked: "Xu Cheng is my general, although he violated the military decree should be cut, but I would like to fight with him to fight for death."

Wang Meng still disagrees.

Deng Qiang and Deng Qiang were an impetuous person. He saw Wang Meng so callous and angry that he returned to the barracks and gathered troops to attack Wang Meng.

Wang Meng asked him why he did so.

Deng Qiang said, "when you are asked to be a thief, you have to be a thief, so you have to kill each other, so I need to get rid of this thief."

Wang Meng thought Deng Qiang was a man who spoke both his friends and his faith, and had the courage to act with courage.

So, in order to cajole Deng Qiang, he said to Deng Qiang: "the general will be angry, and I will release Xu Cheng now."

Deng Qiang saw that Xu Cheng was pardoned and felt that he had done a bit too much. He personally apologized to Wang Ying camp.

Wang Meng did not care about this. He took Deng Qiang's hand and said, "I am testing the general. The general is so faithful to his subordinates, and I am not afraid of the Yan state army for the country."

Soon after the battle, the decisive battle between the two armies began.

Owing to the fact that the enemy was not strong enough, Wang thought that he must send a member to the enemy's position and defeat the enemy's spirit first.

Then commanding the whole army to go all in a rush and rush it to defeat Yanjun.

Then Wang Meng remembered Deng Qiang.

So he let Deng Qiang lead his department to fight the pioneers, and sincerely said: "today's war, not a general can not succeed, I hope you work hard."

But Deng Qiang had a lot of problems. He talked to Wang Meng about the price and said, "if you give me a position of Si Li Wei, I will let you be carefree and make sure you defeat Yan army."

Wang Meng said, "this is not what I can do. I can only give you an official position of the stable ruler."

Deng Qiang saw Wang Meng didn't agree to his request and went away unhappily.

When the war started, Wang Deng called Deng Qiang to attack. Deng Qiang actually slept in the tent and refused to accept it.

No way, Wang Meng had to go to the camp of Deng Qiang himself to meet the requirements of Deng Qiang's official.

Only then did Deng Qiang change his negative attitude and let his subordinates eat a big drink. When he had enough to eat and drink, he went to the enemy camp with his army Xu Cheng.

Wang Meng pursued victory and broke the Yanjun army.

Afterwards, Wang Meng looked at Deng Qiang and sincerely admired, "what a great fighter!"

This is the character of Wang Meng's employment.

Actually, Deng Qiang has committed three major crimes.

One is to intercede with the Ministry and to follow the private law; the two is to lead the army to attack Wang Meng and to commit a rebellion; the three is to face the war, demanding the position of Si Li and threatening the prime minister.

Which of the three is the crime of killing the head?

But as a politician, Wang Meng is able to tolerate his shortcomings and use his strengths to mobilize the enthusiasm of the officers and men.

Just imagine, if Wang Meng had killed Deng Qiang, because of which of these three sins, would there be Luochuan's victory?

No man is perfect.

There are no perfect people in the world.

A person's strengths and weaknesses are often interdependent, like two sides of a mirror, and a face has a back.

We should also see that we have the initiative and risk in starting our own business. No one can guarantee that there is nothing wrong with it.

If we demand perfection, no one can use it.

Since it is "perfect man", it means everything and everything. A person's ability and energy are limited. If he can do anything, it is only superficial knowledge.

Such a person is not so much a "perfect man" as a mediocre person or incompetent.

If we use this kind of "end" people, the success of our career will be hopeless.

There is a group company in Wuhan. Its general manager is a well-known entrepreneur, but it is also a controversial figure.

Some people say that he is "two heads sharp", that is, both advantages and disadvantages are outstanding.

On the merits, he can be outstanding, has the experience of managing modern enterprises, and has made outstanding achievements in the management of enterprises. On the shortcoming, he has a strong personality and is not so "obedient", and is not in harmony with the leadership relations of some leading departments.

What he did aroused controversy among some people. Some people praised him for being criticized.

Those who praised him said that he had an outstanding achievement and was a capable person; he who rebuked him said he had too many faults and could not manage well.

Fortunately, the leadership of the competent department is not confused, and is not abandoned because of his obvious shortcomings.

There is a cement plant in a city, and its operation and management are in disorder, and it is on the verge of bankruptcy.

In the city, a talented person who knows how to manage and manage the factory will be appointed director of the factory. In a year, the cement plant has changed greatly. Not only is it out of the predicament, the profits are going up, but also the life of the workers has improved.

But the factory director had a problem, swearing, and dared to contradict the chief executive, and even the mayor did not look at it. As a result, he was dismissed from the office in less than two years, and changed to an obedient director. As a result, the economic efficiency of the factory dropped rapidly and returned to the brink of bankruptcy.

There is no way. The director of the municipal authorities took the director of the cement plant to visit a famous large cement plant in Shanxi. The factory director who had been dismissed from them did not expect them to be very embarrassed.

It turned out that the director of the factory was removed from his post and applied for the factory director in Shanxi.

Therefore, we prefer to use talents who have obvious shortcomings or even shortcomings, and do not use those mediocre people who are not faultless or even perfect.
