Confucius's Management Of "Four Absolutely"

In the increasingly competitive occupational environment and business environment, the middle managers of the backbone enterprises are faced with greater challenges and tests, and they need better professional quality and leadership charisma.

How to make management work more smoothly?

How to win more subordinates?

Is it strict with oneself, lenient towards others, or vice versa?

Is it true or not?

Can you really be humble, listen and take advantage of others?

These problems seem to be not very important, but they reflect one. Excellent manager Of Professional accomplishment At the same time, it is also an important basis for managers to improve their leadership and effectively manage their team. This reminds me not only of Confucius's classical thought in the Analects of Confucius: "four sons: no need, no need, no solid, no me."

No purpose: no subjective guesswork.

There is no need to be absolutely sure.

No: not stubborn.

No, I am not self righteous.

　 It is not subjective.

Most people who are mixed up in a company have a good side and their strong points. However, it is precisely these qualities and excellence that may bring them another unexpected problem. In my management training course, I often ask managers a simple question: "what is the meaning of fact?", but I was surprised by the result. Few people really answer the right questions. The answers that have appeared are "what has happened", "objective existence", "what I see"...

Because managers experience considerable accumulation of skills and skills, there are often three typical judgements of things and people, that is, "I think... "! However, are these "I think" necessarily the facts? The answer is obvious. In the workplace and management, experience is too important, but sometimes experience will blindfold our eyes, thereby losing the absorption of new information and the accumulation of new skills. {page_break}

　　 No doubt: I'm not absolutely sure.

Not absolutely sure, it seems that people have an illusion. Is this person indecisive? In fact, I personally think that Confucius is passing a rigorous attitude of doing things, asking why and asking for more ways to find out whether it is right or not.

In daily management, the absolute affirmation can be taken advantage of because of the poor time management, the urgency of objectives and tasks, and the effectiveness of implementation supervision. We often hear such words: "I think almost!" But almost always makes us much worse. Therefore, rigorous work attitude determines the quality and efficiency of the work.

　　 No: not stubborn.

Remember that in the Three Kingdoms, Cao Cao has a characteristic of "knowing mistakes, correcting mistakes, but never admit it!" I think Cao Cao is a good team leader because he at least made a mistake, just because he didn't admit his mistake.

For a manager and team leader, recognizing mistakes, correcting mistakes and recognizing mistakes is not a simple matter.

Knowing faults requires discrimination and judgement.

Correcting mistakes requires attitude and skills.

It takes courage and realm to admit mistakes.

Those who stick to their own opinions can be divided into two categories. One is that he doesn't know he is wrong, so he sticks to his own view, that is, Confucius's three season people. The other is when he knows he is wrong, but because of his status, face and other factors, he is unwilling to admit his mistake or accept others' opinions.

　 No, I am not self righteous.

...

A team leader, without a state and mind, can not have tolerance, only the self. Then he "decides, decides, decides, and decides me". In this way, the success of the workplace will be far away from you.
