Chapter 37 4. Know how to deal with the "little things" around you

Leadership, as the name suggests, plays a guiding role.Leadership is a process in which leaders use their legal power and influence to influence the behavior of the led and lead them to the goals of the organization in order to achieve the predetermined goals of the organization within certain social organizations and groups.During the whole process, as a leader, you don’t have to do it yourself. You do everything yourself. What do you want the people below to do?The main job of the leader is to convey the spirit, point out the work goals, check the work progress, etc. Of course, the occasional hands-on is an opportunity to show the good image of the leader, such as digging pits and planting trees, sweeping the street, etc. Insignificant tasks can be positioned For the "show field".There are some things in the officialdom that need to be done by leaders, even if they put on a show, the information revealed is positive and powerful.

"Dongxuan Records" records that Song Renzong got up one day and told his neighbors that he couldn't sleep last night because he wanted to eat mutton.The waiter said, why not ask for it?Song Renzong said that killing sheep at night would cause a lot of harm.Song Renzong had some scruples, and he didn't do it on a whim.He is well aware of this, the leader should establish a good image.It is not impossible to issue an order to kill the sheep at night, but the problem is that the influence of spreading it is not good. Maybe there will be a bunch of people impeaching him on the desk the next day.Because of being greedy for a while, it caused the admonisher to attack him, so he couldn't do it.As soon as this remark came out, the servants on the left and right called Long Live Shengming.During the day, Song Renzong strolled in the garden. After returning to the palace, he asked his concubine for water to drink. He was so thirsty.The concubine didn't understand and asked him, why didn't he drink water outside, but came back to drink?Song Renzong explained, it's not that I don't want to drink water, but no one knows what I'm going to do when I walk back and forth.The person in charge of tea slipped away, and he didn't know where he went.If you want water to drink, someone must come out to apologize, forget it, bear it and come back to drink.

If the truth is as Song Renzong said, why did he explain it so clearly to his concubine?He could just say "I'm thirsty and want to drink water" perfunctory, there is no need to act like he is very thirsty, and then give the reason vividly.First, Song Renzong wanted to show an image of benevolence to the outside attendants through the mouth of the concubine, and second, the concubine would definitely handle the matter after hearing it.The tea bearer will be warned, and there will be no second time in the future.To deal with this trivial matter, the big leader himself is suspected of shooting mosquitoes with anti-aircraft guns. Besides, there are managers in the harem. Even though the emperor is the biggest, there is no need to reach out to the scope of work of others. Song Renzong understands the principle of "exceeding authority".

Song Taizong Zhao Guangyi had a similar incident.The culture of the Song Dynasty was developed, and many famous calligraphers appeared in the royal family, such as Song Huizong Zhao Ji, Song Gaozong Zhao Gou, Southern Song Dynasty royal Zhao Meng and so on.Song Taizong's calligraphy is incomparable with them, but he also has profound attainments.At that time, there was a servant named Wang Zhu in the Hanlin Academy, who was in charge of documents and accompanied the emperor to practice calligraphy.Wang Zhu deeply grasped the essence of Wang Xizhi's calligraphy. Every time Song Taizong showed him his works, Wang Zhu said that he hadn't finished writing them yet.Every time it is this comment, someone asks why.Wang Zhu said that the emperor's calligraphy is already very good. If it is said to be well written, I am afraid that His Majesty will no longer pay attention.Song Taizong practiced like this day and night, one time he practiced engrossedly, and the ink disappeared before he knew it. Kneel down and beg for death.Song Taizong waved his hand, what a big deal, get up!

The stories of Song Taizong and Song Renzong are similar, and it is because the attendants around them made mistakes. Through the performance of the two, it can be seen that they are indeed qualified leaders and know how to deal with small things around them.Regardless of whether there is an acting component or actually doing it yourself, the purpose is the same anyway.Sometimes, leading a simple small job can give people around us a wake-up call.For example, those who manage the tea and those who serve the pen and ink are small roles, and it is inevitable to make small mistakes.Killing at every turn, the effect is not good.Emperor Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty was very strict with his maids and servants, almost perverted, beating and scolding at every turn, and killing them. Finally, the palace maids who had lived under the shadow of violence for a long time could not bear it, and almost strangled him to death while he was sleeping.

People in the Song Dynasty said that the "Renzong Shengzhi" during Song Renzong's reign surpassed Tang Taizong's "Zhenguan Rule", which needs to be verified.In terms of accepting advice alone, Song Renzong was not inferior to Tang Taizong in the slightest. He did the best in this regard and was the most considerate of his subordinates' feelings. "Shaw's Wenjianlu" records that Wang Su, the admonisher, and Wang Deyong, the privy envoy, presented a stunning beauty to the leader, and Song Renzong liked it very much.There is no impenetrable wall in the officialdom, and the admonishing officials knew about Wang Su's impeachment.Wang Su's father, Wang Dan, was the prime minister of the Zhenzong Dynasty, and the monarch and his ministers had been harmonious for a long time, so Song Renzong laughed and said that I am the son of the Zhenzong, and Qing is the son of Wang Dan. Our relationship is different from others, and it belongs to family friends!It is true that Wang Deyong presents beauties, and he is very close to me. How about keeping it?Unexpectedly, Wang Su didn't appreciate it, but said that what the minister said was afraid of getting close.Song Renzong was so angry that he had nothing to say. He showed filial piety during Zhenzong's memorial day, and all good filial piety came first.If you forcefully stay by your side, then the image work you did before will be ruined. Don't pretend to be pure-hearted and ascetic, you will be a pervert.Song Renzong had no choice but to give in and said that Wang Deyong would pay three hundred guan each for the daughters he had donated, and then order them to leave the inner east gate, okay?Song Renzong raised his sleeves and pretended to cry twice. Seeing that the leader had softened, Wang Su also gave him a step, saying that since His Majesty agreed with the minister's intention, there was no need to send him in such a hurry.The implication is that I didn't say it.Song Renzong smiled and said, although I am an emperor, I am also a human being!If the beautiful woman is sad and refuses to leave, then this matter will be over.Wang Su nodded in agreement, but he never expected the servant to act quickly and report that the maid had already left.Song Renzong hated him, and he had nothing to do with them!In a fit of anger, he dispatched more than 30 palace officials in succession to give Wang Su a positive answer.

What Song Renzong said was quite true. Leaders are also human beings, and of course human nature is indispensable.No way, whoever let you sit in that position, there must be many people who care about you and pay attention to you, because since ancient times, all kinds of Uranus superstars have not had a high click-through rate than political stars, so the top leader must make an understanding of his subordinates. Even if it’s an act, it means that you have done it, which is better than not doing it. There is also an incident recorded in "Houshan Tancong", which said that Song Renzong invited guests to dinner, and an official offered clams at that time.It was autumn, and it was not easy to transport seafood to the capital.Song Renzong asked by the way, how much is this thing?The official replied truthfully that for each thousand dollars, there are twenty-eight donations.After Song Renzong made such a calculation, he straightened his face, put down his chopsticks, and said that fighting corruption and promoting integrity is a long-term work goal that I have always advocated. Today, the chopsticks cost twenty-eight pennies, and I can't bear it.So refuse to eat wild animals.Song Renzong played a role, showing consideration for his subordinates in a disguised form. First of all, he said that officials donate sea goods, and the world can learn from their sincerity, but this is contrary to the work goals advocated by this dynasty. As a leader, you cannot take that official Go out and behead for public display, in that case, who would dare to have dinner with you in the future?If the official is dealt with, it is contrary to human feelings and is in a dilemma.Furthermore, it can be seen from the text that the clams are already ready and just waiting for chopsticks.I am afraid that Song Renzong should know that waste is a crime, but in order to achieve the goal of "preventing everyone from being extravagant", he had to bear the pain and show off!

One of the must-have acting skills is to be considerate of the many emperors in the subordinate area. You need to pay attention to the heat of the acting and the grasp of the sense of presence.If the acting is too fake, it will give the subordinates a contrived gesture; if the acting is too subtle, the subordinates may not understand the spirit of the leader.Song Zhezong did the best in this respect. "Swallows in the Stone Forest" records that Song Shenzong died, and Khitan sent envoys to mourn.At that time, Zhezong was only nine years old when he was first established. Because the clothes worn by the Khitan people were different from those of the Song Dynasty, Prime Minister Cai Que worried that Song Zhezong would be afraid at first sight, so he described the image of the Khitan people to clarify the matter.After speaking more than ten sentences in a row, Song Zhezong didn't pay any attention to it. It seemed that the little emperor was really scared.After Cai Que finished speaking, Zhezong suddenly asked, are they human?Cai Que replied that of course they are people, but they are Yidi.Zhezong said solemnly, since he is a human being, what are you afraid of him doing?The burden in Cai Que's heart suddenly fell to the ground, his worry suddenly turned into fear, and he retreated in horror.

Song Zhezong was a child at the time, so he may have said this sincerely.But we might as well look at it from another angle. He grew up in the inner courtyard of the palace and was exposed to some power struggles. He must have learned a lot about being an official from his father Shenzong.Throughout his life, Song Zhezong was a young and mature emperor, with the style of being a father.He came to power at the age of seventeen, pursued and demoted the dead Sima Guang, expelled Su Shi, Su Zhe and other reform opponents from the imperial court, reactivated the reformists, restored the terms beneficial to the people in the Xining Reform, stopped negotiations with Xixia, and sent troops to conquer , forcing Xixia to beg for peace from the Song Dynasty, but unfortunately died of illness at the age of twenty-four.Prime Minister Cai Que repeatedly explained that he was just afraid that my little kid would lose face to Da Song because he didn't have much political experience.Zhezong told him with practical actions, although I am small, don't underestimate me.
