Chapter 14 Chapter Thirteen The Art of Fairness: No Obedience Without Fairness

Successful leaders are fair players.Speak out of a public mind, treat things equally, and treat everyone equally, in order to win the approval of others. "Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals. Guigong" said: "The climate of yin and yang, the rain of nectar and dew, changing things without choosing things, and falling without personal things, this is the atmosphere of the public." Liu Baonan explained: "Governing the world must first be fair and fair. , Openness, publicity makes the common people happy. Publicity leads to peace in the world, and peace comes from publicity. What happens is fairness, and what happens is selfishness.”

There is a saying at West Point that a manager "should be tough, but fair." If you want others to follow you, you have to be fair. Motorola is well aware of the significance of justice to employees. Their biggest feature in personnel affairs is to let their employees let go and create a fair competition atmosphere among employees.Company founder Paul?Gore was very strict with employees, but he was very fair. It was his style that shaped Motorola's unique and fair style in terms of personnel and dealing with competitors. As early as the early days of the business, the employees did not have formal positions, but some radio-loving people gathered together.At this time, an engineer named Lear joined Motorola.He had studied radio engineering in college, which made those old employees feel a sense of crisis. They made things difficult for Lear from time to time and deliberately made things difficult for him. An excuse to fire Lear.

When Galvin came back and found out about this, he severely criticized the foreman, and then immediately found Lear and hired him again with a high salary.Later, Lear made great contributions to the company and fully demonstrated his value to Galvin.In the later development of the company, many people working in Motorola were personalities, and when they had disputes, they all quarreled very fiercely.However, as the boss, Galvin, with his appropriate interpersonal relationship handling methods, enabled them to unite and proceed smoothly when facing various difficult tasks. "The human heart is just like a candle, shining everywhere in the world."

Justice and selflessness is a lofty ideological realm.When a person possesses the character of impartiality and selflessness, he can be open and aboveboard, seek truth from facts, uphold justice, promote good and eliminate evil. The old adages such as "Publicity produces light, partiality produces darkness" and "If there is a public heart, there must be justice" are all about this truth. A person lives with a breath, a tree lives with a bark.People can have nothing, but there is always something in one breath.As long as you are alive, this breath is always there.I was usually underestimated, oppressed, and had nowhere to complain, so I tried my best to hold back and hold back this tone. Later, I finally couldn't hold it back, and burst out like a dike, overflowing the bank of reason. Danger.As a leader, you can't be superior, but wantonly wrong and fool the people below.Instead, do things that make them happy and calm their spirits.To achieve this, there is no other way, only a "public" word.Everyone's psychological balance and smoothness depend entirely on the leader's ability to uphold justice; and the peace and security of the world also depends on the leader's ability to act impartially.

The most terrible thing in the world is unfairness.Success lies in convincing people with fairness, and it is difficult to convince people without fairness.Zhang Nanxuan said: "Politics requires fairness. If the heart is not fair, good things will turn into bad things." To make people feel fair, the first thing is to balance their spirit and feelings.The reason why people's hearts are difficult to calm down lies in the interference of qi and the concern of emotion.Zhuge Liang has a famous saying: "My heart is like a steelyard, and I am not valued by others." Zhuge Liang's achievements in his life all embody the word fair. Chen Shou, the author of "Three Kingdoms", commented on Zhuge Liang: "Be open and honest in politics, and be loyal to justice. Those who are useful to the times will be rewarded even by enemies; those who violate laws and neglect the country will be punished even by relatives. Repent after pleading guilty Those who do not admit their mistakes, but still argue, are punished lightly and severely. Good will not be rewarded if there is no achievement, and evil will not be demoted if there is no bad result. Severe punishment and severe law, but no one in the world resents him. This is his fairness and integrity. The result. Zhuge Liang can be called a good talent for governing the world, and his ability is on par with Guan Zhong and Xiao He."

Ma Di fought against Zhang Zaiting, the great general of the Wei State. Because he violated Zhuge Liang's command, Zhang defeated the Shu army.Zhuge Liang took down Ma Su and killed him.He paid homage himself, and raised his children, treating them like his own family.Jiang Wan said: "Now the world is not stable, and you killed the wise and resourceful, isn't it a pity?" Zhuge Liang cried and said: "Sun Wu was able to win the world because he used justice. Now the world is divided, and the war has just begun. First, if the military law is abolished, how can we attack the enemy?"

At the beginning, Zhuge Liang thought that Ma Di was superior to ordinary people in terms of intelligence and power, so he held him in high esteem.Before Liu Bei died, he said to Zhuge Liang: "Ma Di's words are too exaggerated, so they can't be used much." Zhuge Liang didn't take it seriously, and let Ma Su join the army.Now that he was killed, people said that Ma Di was someone the prime minister knew well. When he was defeated, he was killed in tears, and his descendants were cared for. Zhang Shizhi served as a court officer during Emperor Wen of the Western Han Dynasty, and was in charge of prisons.Once, when Emperor Wen was riding on the Zhongwei Bridge, a man ran out from under the bridge and frightened the horse on which the emperor was riding.Emperor Wen immediately ordered the knights to arrest this person and hand him over to the court officer for punishment.Zhang Shizhi accepted the case. The prisoner confessed that he was a native of the county. When he came here, he heard that the emperor was coming. People passing by were forbidden to pass, so he hid under the bridge.After a long time, I thought that the chariot had passed, and as soon as I got out, I bumped into the emperor's chariot, and ran away in a hurry. Thinking that this person frightened the chariots and horses and almost hurt himself, Tingwei only sentenced him to a fine, which is to despise the monarch and emphasize the people.Zhang Shizhi argues with reason: "The law is observed by the emperor and his subjects together. The law is a fine. If the sentence is severe, the people will not believe in the law. If this person is killed immediately, it will be fine. He will be handed over to the court for trial , then it should be convicted according to law. Tingwei itself is a symbol of justice in the world. If Tingwei is not fair, the law enforcement officers in the world will ignore laws and regulations, and the people will be at a loss. I hope your majesty will carefully observe." Emperor Wen weighed the pros and cons, and sincerely praised: "Tingwei's The verdict was right."

Man is the spirit of all things, the most emotional.Between people, there are not only differences between closeness and closeness, but also differences between friends and enemies.This kind of difference is understandable, but if it is cited in the law and followed privately and perverts the law, it will inevitably be criticized by the audience.Zhuge Liang and others understand righteousness and act rationally. Emotional grievances are emotional grievances, and public law is public law.Leadership can be like this, it is indeed supreme. When Jiang Ziya answered Zhou Wenwang's question "How do leaders start their work", he said: "Be calm and steady and calm, be gentle and confident, be good at listening to opinions without being stubborn, be modest and upright, and be fair and unconcerned. Selfish."

Leaders should be fair, just, bright, and big.If a leader is open, his heart will naturally have no selfish desires; if a leader can be upright, his heart will naturally have no prejudice; if a leader can be clear, his heart will naturally have no secrets;Lead your heart to be the same as that of ordinary people, let it be one with all things, shine with the sun and the moon, and walk with the sky and the earth, so that you can basically achieve "justice and enlightenment".The reason why the human heart cannot be as big as the sky and the earth is because of the existence of selfish desires.Abandon selfish desires, and only have one character in mind.

Nothing hurts the image of a leader more than selfishness, selfishness, and selfishness.Ordinary people can have selfishness, but their selfishness is limited to one person; leaders cannot have selfishness, and if they have selfishness, they will lose their public interest.Those who manage the world's major affairs must first deal with the world with impartiality and selflessness.Judging with a clear mind, discussing matters with a calm mind, treating others with a fair mind, responding to things with a magnanimous mind, and dealing with changes with a calm mind, this is the supreme mind of a leader.

It is easy to talk about impartiality in principle, but it is difficult to achieve impartiality in practice.In life, how many leaders can truly sacrifice themselves for others and sacrifice themselves to achieve others?When there is justice, there is selflessness, and when there is selflessness, there is greatness.People who are selfish always regard others as selfish and things as selfish, but in the end, their bodies are often contrary to things, people are contrary to themselves, their hearts are contrary to reason, and things are contrary to their actions. "When traveling on the great road, take the world as the public." Zigong asked Confucius, "What are the three selflessness?" Confucius replied, "The sky is selfless, the earth is selfless, and the sun and the moon are selfless. Doing according to these three principles is the three selflessness." If you deny yourself for others, others will be convinced; if you sacrifice yourself for the country, the country will be convinced; if you sacrifice yourself for the world, the world will be convinced.The sage kings and sages of the past dynasties, clean and honest officials, all served the country, the nation, and mankind with the spirit of sacrifice.Life should be for the purpose of service, not for the purpose of asking.Serve friends and you will have friends; serve society and you will have society; serve country and you will have country; serve humanity and you will have humanity.This is the eternal truth. Fan Zhongyan once handled such a thing when he was prime minister: he selected a group of capable officials, went to various places to check whether the officials there were competent, and drew a circle on the roster for those who were incompetent. The names are circled.His subordinates knew that Fan Zhongyan was going to remove all the people who drew the circle from office, so they persuaded him: "It's easy for you to tick off a person's name, but you know, if this stroke is done, his family will die." I'm going to cry." Fan Zhongyan said: "It's better for a family to cry than thousands of families." It turned out that the official style was corrupt at that time, and when one person was an official, his descendants followed, and the official only knew how to blackmail the people. Regardless of whether the common people live or die, Fan Zhongyan will not allow such a person to be an official again, taking money and food for nothing, and eating a vegetarian meal in his corpse.These people are used to eating and drinking for free. Once they lose their official positions, their family will of course cry.But under their management, thousands of households stopped crying.Fan Zhongyan's justice has been widely praised by people. "Worry about the world's worries first, and then enjoy the world's joy." The leader's first worry is not personal affairs, but the world's major events; when everyone in the world is happy, the leader himself will be happy.Share your own happiness with everyone, and everyone will be happy with his happiness; take everyone's sorrow as your own sorrow, and everyone will be worried about his sorrow.Joy takes the happiness of the world as its joy, and worries about the world's worries as its worry. Those who can do this rarely fail to become leaders. It is an ancient leadership precept to distinguish between public and private. For the leader or director of an enterprise, public and private cannot be satisfied at the same time, and selfishness will inevitably harm the public!In the eyes of subordinates, a leader or supervisor who harms the public because of personal interests is like a Chinese cabbage that has dropped in price, and has no prestige at all.Once a person becomes a supervisor, his self-esteem will increase accordingly, and he will often feel that he is neglected inexplicably. When others whisper or discuss things in secret, he will feel very uncomfortable. Manager Li of an information company is like this : "Manager, please sign the contract amendment." "Why didn't you discuss it with me first? I didn't know about it at all." "But didn't I come to tell you now?" "You have made your own decision a long time ago! It can be seen that you don't take me seriously at all. I can't sign." Examples like this are common.Indeed, it may not be polite for a manager to do so without prior discussion.But the manager doesn't have to hold grudges because of this. How can he benefit himself by hindering the work in this way? As a supervisor, "not knowing" and "not understanding" are your own fault, and you should not blame your subordinates.In normal times, supervisors should do more investigations and listen to reports from subordinates; or inspect the work status of various departments to understand their actual work conditions.A supervisor who cannot control the behavior of his subordinates is a poor supervisor.Similarly, as a business leader, it is best not to have such a situation of harming the public for personal gain. Why can Ren Changxia not be afraid of gangsters, enforce the law impartially, and punish criminals?Because she is impartial and open-minded, she is fearless and fearless. As a modern leader, only selflessness can be fearless!I believe that everyone will treat their subordinates fairly in their work positions.But what is "fair"?How about judging whether you treat your subordinates fairly?The key to making judgments is to be unselfish, that is, not to consider your own interests. For example, assigning tasks.When encountering a difficult job, don't think about the rewards or praise you will receive after the person you hire successfully completes the task, and don't try to plunder it because the job is easy and you can get benefits, trying to do it yourself.Such thoughts will greatly reduce the confidence of your subordinates in you.Because your attempts are easily seen through by your subordinates.Because no matter when, looking from top to bottom, it is often difficult to know the truth.However, looking from the bottom up, you get roughly everything right. As far as the company's interests are concerned, you must make a comprehensive judgment from the importance and urgency of the work, and in the judgment process, you must not mix the slightest self-interest.You consider the overall situation of the work and the future development of the company, and you can start doing it openly.However, you must handle disputes among group members well.In this sense, you have chosen the hard way. A supervisor who guides his subordinates should always care for the weak.However, paying too much care sometimes doesn't help.The best way to do that is to be a selfless leader. It is a normal thing in life to be close to one another and alienate one another, but as a leader, it is absolutely not allowed at work, otherwise, public and private will not be distinguished, or private interests will harm the public. We can often see a kind of person who keeps muttering: "No matter what, I can't have a good impression of that person?" or thinks that he is incompatible with a certain type of person.The so-called "Theory of Yin-Yang and Five Elements" was created in response to the psychology of this kind of people.They believe that people born in Shenshi and Yinshi are prone to impulsiveness and stubborn personality. If they are unlucky and encounter such a boss, they will have to admit that they are unlucky.Because you can't avoid these people forever, and you can't express your likes and dislikes arbitrarily. The only way is to make him stand on the same stand with you as much as possible. Man, it's incredible to say the least.A cautious person will be quite careful when making friends, but not necessarily so when making enemies.Just blurt out: "I really hate that person." Soon, this sentence will spread to other people's ears, which will add a lot of unnecessary trouble.These people are mentally immature people. They like to judge the good or bad of others based on their intuitive impressions, which makes them unhappy.We all like to work with people we like, but in today's society, you may have to work in the same organization as someone you hate.Only by not arbitrarily dividing which people you like and which people you hate can you work happily with each colleague. A leader not only needs to have multiple talents, but also needs to care for his subordinates and treat them fairly.Caring for subordinates can increase their sense of belonging; but caring too much is emotional.For example, because of sympathy for a subordinate whose family member is sick, he transfers his workload to other subordinates; the former gets care, but it is extremely unfair to the latter, which affects the latter's work mood. In addition, some leaders think that listening to their subordinates describe unpleasant things in detail can make them vent their emotions, but they don't know how to control the situation, which makes the other party more and more disturbed.Sometimes, a subordinate appears to be grumpy due to family problems. It is enough for the boss to give appropriate comfort after listening to his confession. Don't make accommodations in actions because of this, so as to make the other party push forward.Otherwise, he will disregard the status of your boss and ignore the work you ordered, thinking that he has a "golden medal for avoiding death" and can delay "according to orders".In private time, there can be friendship between superiors and subordinates, but at work, public and private must be distinguished and treated equally.
