Learning Human Resources Management From Laozi

Lao Tzu once said, "saints have no heart, and take the hearts of the people as their hearts.

Wu Shanzhi, a good man, is not good at all.

If you believe in me or not, I believe in it.

The sage is in the world, and the world is full of feelings.

The common people are all ears and the saints are all children.

The meaning of this passage is: "the sage has no fixed will, but takes the will of the people as his will."

Good people, I treat him kindly; I am good to him who is not good.

In this way, all people in the world are virtuous.

Honest people, I treat him in good faith; I do not treat honest people in good faith.

So everyone in the world is honest.

The sage should stand in the world and be cautious.

Let people's hearts become chaotic and simple, and people are concentrating on their own audio-visual.

Saints make them all like children.

From Lao Tzu's passage, we can find that Lao Tzu believes that if we want to manage the people well, we should not have subjective bias, be good at listening to the opinions of the people, conform to public opinion, do not act according to our own subjective wishes, and allow people to have differences.

Leaders should use moral and cultural power to inspire people to follow their own, rather than coercive means to force people to follow blindly.

Management must realize humanized management.

(more about traditional Chinese management, we can see Mr. Duan Junping's "not in the right place" and "business administration" by Confucius).

When carrying out human resources management, enterprises must take the principle of "saints are impermanent, and the hearts of the people are the hearts" as the general principles.

Respect and value employee personality, management should be differentiated and personalized.

This is in line with the "people-oriented" management idea.

When making specific measures for human resource management, enterprises must pay attention to and assess the performance of employees, and not pay too much attention to the working methods and methods of employees.

The final result of human resource management is to let every employee in the enterprise truly identify with the management concept of the enterprise from the bottom of his heart, genuinely obey the rules and regulations, not the superficial and formal observance, and achieve the effect of "sneak into the night with the wind and moisten things silently".

Wu Shanzhi, a good man, is not good at all.

I believe in those who believe in me, and those who do not believe in it. I believe: "Dexin" tells enterprises that in formulating human resources management mode, in addition to embodying the idea of "putting people first", we must follow the principle of leniency and softness proposed by Laozi.

If the management measures of enterprises are too strict, they will only lead to employees' resentment and resistance. If management becomes fear, employees will become apathetic after fear, which will lead to the management of the formalism that follows the system, but the heart is extremely resistant.

Therefore, enterprises should be relaxed when formulating the system of human resources management, and do not cause psychological pressure to employees.

It is necessary to clarify and standardize the scope of employees' rights and obligations, and at the same time, leave room for employees to rectify themselves and give play to themselves.

So that it can automatically correct errors in time, and consciously abide by and obey all kinds of rules and regulations of the enterprise from within.

(more about Chinese traditional culture, see Mr. Duan Junping's spirit of the Yi Ching and the Chinese).

Two thousand years ago, Laozi, a founder of the ancient sage, was a pioneer of the "people-oriented" management thought.

How to introduce Taoism into the management of human resources is a scientific subject worthy of study.

Understanding and understanding Laozi's philosophy of "Saints' impermanence and people's hearts" is undoubtedly the best guiding principle and golden rule for enterprises to seek human resources management.
