Chapter 48 6. The law of cronies

Leaders cannot do without cronies, because some things are inconvenient to do by themselves. Some leaders say that they treat everyone equally and are impartial, but in fact they are saying things against their will, unless they are an emotionless machine.Every leader will have cronies, but some cronies are clear, such as secretaries and drivers.Some cronies are secretive. On the surface, they have a normal relationship with the leader, but they have a very close relationship in private. As a subordinate, you always want to be the cronies that cannot be separated from the leader. Only in this way can you have a sense of accomplishment, and you will also have the capital to brag and show off in front of others.The most successful leaders will make every subordinate feel that they are cronies. Such leaders are often labeled as approachable, approachable, and charismatic.The method for such a leader to gain cronies may be very simple, sometimes just a look of approval, a kind smile, a thoughtful greeting, or a reciprocal greeting, nothing more.But these are enough to make the other party feel like a confidant, and even be so moved that they are willing to do anything for the leader and are overjoyed.

This matter sounds simple, but it is not something that any leader can do, because there are no certain rules and standards for it. It is just a kind of spiritual communication and a warm feeling.In fact, this is the art of leadership.Liu Bang has done a good job in this aspect. He has a casual personality and can ridicule or even make fun of others at will. This just eliminates the sense of distance from his subordinates, and instead makes his subordinates feel flattered and feel like they are about to become cronies.Xiang Yu has a straightforward personality, but is relatively rigid.He doesn't know how to interact emotionally with his subordinates. He always strives for justice and ends up being criticized.He doesn't know the truth that fairness is unfairness, unfairness is fairness, both are uneven, and unevenness is equal.Because there is no absolute justice in the world, and there is no absolute average, but the subject of distribution and the standard of measurement are different.In the end, no one will gain intimacy from his just distribution, and naturally he will have no dead-hearted cronies.
