Powerful Team Model: Spartan Phalanx

In 480 BC, the king of Persia, the king of Persia, commanded the five hundred thousand army, and thousands of battleships attacked Greece.

Xue Sith Thi issued a letter of persuaded to all the city-state of Greece, including Spartan City, which was resisted by the Greek countries.

In order to resist the strong enemy, Leonie Das, the brave Spartan king, had taken the lead from the Greek coalition forces from around the place to about seven thousand people, leading the way to the hot springs and guarding the dangerous terrain.

After the expedition, the Persian army, which had consumed a large number of troops in the fierce sea battle, was overwhelmed by the Greek coalition forces after the arrival of the hot springs, and several days' attacks failed. At that time, a Greek was bought by the Persian army and led the Persian army to take a path from the hot springs to the rear of the Greek coalition army.

In order to preserve their strength, lionias was ordered to withdraw quickly from the main forces of the Greek coalition forces in order to preserve their strength, and he himself had three hundred siaman warriors, and had fought with him for hundreds of times. The three hundred warriors were all killed. At the same time, the Persian army paid nearly twenty thousand people dead and wounded in the war of hot springs.

When we are infected and shocked by this history, another fascinating thing attracts us. That is Sparta's "Sparta phalanx" when fighting.

This is a marvelous battle array. No matter what kind of impact it will take, it will not collapse. This is also a formidable formula for other opponents. In almost every battle, Sparta phalanx does not use the enemy's head and blood to celebrate victory.

This powerful phalanx has become a mobile fortress and killing machine.

Before we tell about Sparta phalanx, it is necessary for us to understand Sparta's fierce and belligerent country first.

Spartan is a slave country in ancient Greece and Athens. Its military strength is second only to that of Athens. In the Peloponnesian War, Sparta defeated a lot less than Athens, and Athens surrendered to Sparta.

Athens and Sparta have different characteristics in terms of politics, economy, culture, and military affairs. Athens is well-developed in industry and commerce, prospering in culture and education, implementing progressive slave owners democracy, Sparta developing agriculture and military affairs, and backward culture, and implementing conservative aristocratic oligarchy. In order to prevent the polarization of sparrows within the Spartans, people are not allowed to use gold and silver as currency, but to use low value iron coins.

Spartan people are not allowed to do anything other than military affairs, such as commerce, culture and art. This is a nation that survives for war.

On the military side, Sparta is the main military force of the army, and is also best at Lu Zhan. The Spartan army is fiercely fierce in its operations. It is unmatched by other Greek city states.

The strong military power of Sparta is derived from its strict national military education system.

Spartan's military education system began in the era of rulers and came to the ancient court. According to the law of Lago, the newborn babies must be examined by the elders (Imperial ruling class). They believed that the strong parents were allowed to raise their children. Otherwise, they had to abandon their abandoned babies in Shan Yu, so as not to become strong soldiers and to drag the whole country and nation.

From a moral point of view, this is very cruel, but from the time and military point of view, it was terrified.

This way is also forced to do so, because the strong enemy of the Spartan kingdom is ready to swallow the Spartan territory, and the oppressed slaves are ready to resist.

This is also the proof of China's famous saying: "no country without foreign invasion, yet perish".

The education of Sparta has started from the baby's falling down, and the mother has used the wine to bathe the newborn baby. It is believed that this will make the child's body become as strong as steel.

From birth, mothers train their children not to cry, fear darkness, fear loneliness and resist hunger. If they fail to do so, they will probably be killed by the rulers.

If the children are older, their children's right to education is not in their parents' hands. The children of over 7 years old, who are ordered by the ancient order, will be sent to the state to receive and join the company.

They are united in training in the company, such as running, throwing discus, bidding guns, wrestling, fighting fencing, fencing, etc.

In order to train the boy's body's ability to endure pain, every year we should whip the naked boy in the name of God, and do not shout or cry for mercy, otherwise, we will be subjected to more severe whips.

The Spartan wanted to use this rigorous training method to educate tough, brave and unyielding fighters.

In young teams, they must walk barefoot all year round, wear coarse clothes and eat simple coarse foods.

In winter, they have to bathe in cold rivers and sleep on unwoven reed mats that they knit.

Since the age of 14, they have followed young people to participate in the slaughter of the Hilo (their conquest and slave) activities, hiding in the hiding place in the daytime, the detective of the Shiloh people suspected of being suspicious, and touching the village of the Hilo at night to kill him, so as to train the brave spirit and the cruel and merciless to the Hilo people.

In the juvenile group, the Spartan youngsters should learn the epic of Homa and the La Kong language so that they can express their intentions in a short and clear manner in military affairs.

But Spartans do not attach importance to language learning. They think that silence is the character of a fighter.

Xenophon, a writer in Athens, describes the Spartan's bad words: "in Sparta, it is difficult to get the voice from the boy's mouth than to get the voice from the stone mouth."

At the age of 20, a young man became a serviceman and was formally trained in military activities.

The Spartan army consisted of 40 men and 500 squadrons, forming a dense phalanx of infantry.

The main content of military training is to use weapons and drill infantry phalanx.

Everyone from 20 to 60 years old must take out exercises every day and take part in military training.

These are the important reasons for the Spartan infantry phalanx to move forward and retreat skillfully, to be alert and strong in combat.

It is easy to see that all the educational activities in Sparta are closely related to military affairs. Sparta's education for men is to make every man a strong, well-trained, valiant and militant fighter. The education of women should be made the mother of strong warriors.

The powerful mobile fortress, the Spartan phalanx, refers to the formation of soldiers in the ancient Greek period when the Spartans fought. Everyone in the square was wearing bronze armor with upper body protection, wearing an iron helmet, holding a round shield on the left hand, and holding a spear on the right hand.

In the battle, soldiers lined up shoulder to shoulder. The soldiers in the front row levelled the spear and pointed to the front. The soldiers in the rear set the spear on the shoulders of the front soldiers, forming a wall formed by a spear. They walked at the same pace as a moving mountain to the enemy and crushed the enemy who was trying to resist.

There are no complicated changes, no mysterious organs, but the power is amazing, and the opponent is scared. This is Sparta phalanx.

At first, the Spartans also tried various formations, such as the first three to five men, and hundreds of people in a row of formations, but they were easily scattered or cut into several sections by the enemy. As some of our enterprises did, they ran too long, consumed resources and could not gather strength. They also tried the formation of the "long snake". However, as our enterprises had too long channels or too many levels of management, their actions were slow, and their strength was weak and scattered. Finally, the Spartan Army decided the formation of the phalanx.

Spartan phalanx is highly scientific, strategic and teamwork.

There are no complicated designs and elaborate arrangements, even simple, simple and simple, and the more simple things are, the more powerful and effective they are.

Simple formations are easy to grasp by soldiers who only know the fighting and do not know what to think. Otherwise, too complex tactics will be short of duplicable and replaceable characteristics.

Although Spartan square appears to be very simple, its power is powerful and mysterious.

Although many countries in Greece used this kind of phalanx to fight, only Spartans played the power of this phalanx.

Because the battle strategy of the Sparta square is different from other troops, he is not only a strong sharp wall, but also a flexible and powerful network - when the square array is launched and pushed forward, almost nobody can break through this square. When some part of the array is broken by the enemy, the people in the rear will immediately add up and make the whole square not confused; and when the enemy wants to retreat or break up, the square array can quickly become a big net, encirclement of the enemy, or one hit, or annihilated.

It can be used to describe the organizational strategy of Spartan phalanx.

It cleverly solved the organizational sluggishness and loss of flexibility caused by the involvement of large numbers of soldiers in large-scale battles, and too flexible made the organization dispersed and lost the teamwork force. This contradictory problem: no matter how dispersed the teams are, they are equally strong, no matter how cohesive and flexible they are, so that they can not match their opponents. At that time, some people in Greece even thought that Sparta phalanx is a military led by God.

This is a revelation for us to a certain extent to a large extent today. Many of our enterprises are large but bloated and slow in action, and when they expand their branches or branches, they are in a bad position. Each individual is independent and can hardly play the role of synergy.

The Spartan soldiers can assemble in the shortest time to form a neat phalanx and launch an attack. When the situation requires, the phalanx can disperse quickly, and the front radius can even be pulled up to several kilometers. This enables Sparta phalanx to switch points, lines, and surfaces at any time flexibly according to circumstances, and combat effectiveness and teamwork will not be affected by the adjustment of formation.

In addition to the coordination between team members, the Spartan phalanx can play a role in bringing the strategy of separation and separation to the end. Besides, it is supported by five basic elements: "force", "first", "base", "soul" and "steel", so that the whole organization becomes emotional, legal, literary, dream, flesh and blood, mind and soul, and a highly intelligent organization.

The power of the matrix: tacit teamwork, the unity of the Spartan phalanx is very high, and cooperation is tacit understanding, so it can play a team's overall strength that the general military team can not achieve, 1+1 > 2.

Members of the phalanx feel that their strength comes from the help of their companions and their companions' encouragement. They respect their comrades in arms, help their comrades in arms, and protect their comrades in arms. In addition to killing the enemy and protecting themselves, each soldier should protect his left comrade in arms and help his comrades when necessary.

They seem to be undisciplined and dispersed to fight against the enemy, but in fact they are still a whole. Sometimes the enemy is numerous. Spartan soldiers are just a group of people who are fighting against the enemy from back to back. Sometimes a few people encircle and encircle the enemy. Even if they are dispersed, they often help their partners to kill the enemy at the right time. When they fight against the enemy, the enemy will somehow be killed by spears or short swords that are spun on the spot. This is the cooperation between the Spartan phalanx comrades.

They are flexible and flexible, but the core is invariable - helping their comrades and playing the role of teamwork.

Therefore, the composition of Sparta phalanx does not consist of 100 +100 people, but 100 X100 people. This is also the key that they can win less. This form of mutual aid also makes their casualties far less than their rivals.

In contrast, some of our enterprises lack self-awareness in their internal collaboration. They even fight for profits and even attack other members of the organization, resulting in a result of 1+1 less than 1.

The competition from the industry point of view is the competition between the industrial chains. From the point of view of human resources, it is the competition among teams. The team is the foundation of the enterprise, and can not give full play to the strength of the team. How can it win in the fierce market competition?

The strong foundation of an organization is the benign structure and effective interaction among members, rather than one or two or several heroic figures.

The free and easy operation strategy is based on the team members' tacit understanding and sincere cooperation.

"We have a strong Spartan phalanx," the pride of the Lenovo Group said. The so-called phalanx is a "big Lenovo" made up of more than 8000 channels by Lenovo.

"Big Lenovo" members must report to the Lenovo Group about information such as finance, sales and market movements, which makes Lenovo easily grasp the national sales and market conditions, and make flexible adjustments to inventory and product lines.

Lenovo is the commander-in-chief and core of this powerful phalanx, which can not be connected through culture, system and interests.
