Chapter 21 Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's Imperial Art

Many major events in history are caused by people and events.Successful kings understand this truth, but failed kings do not; successful entrepreneurs understand it, but failed entrepreneurs do not.Entrepreneurs who don't understand either focus on marketing all day long and worry about the marketing model; or intervene in management, always worrying that their subordinates will not do their best or that their affairs will not be done well; Really promising people.However, it happens that such entrepreneurs fail more than succeed;Why is this? When Liu Che was still the prince, he began to think about these issues.After all, the Han Dynasty is a big company. As the future successor of the president, Liu Che asked his teacher these questions during the CEO training class held by the big management trainer Wei Wan, in order to leave a mark on the future history of corporate management. own name.Wei Wan said that if you get the right way, you can get more help than if you don't know the way;If the prince wants to make a difference, the key lies in winning people.The prince asked again, the Huns in the north were arrogant, what should they do.Wei Wan replied, winning people.The prince asked again, what should be done if the country still has internal worries after Chao Cuo's Seven Kingdoms Rebellion.Wei Wan answered again, winning people.The prince asked again, how can one seek prosperity when the people's livelihood is poor.Wei Wan replied, winning people.So the prince stopped asking.Wei Wan said, I have no regrets in my life if I have the qualifications of a prince and teach him.

Later, the prince finally ascended the throne and became the general manager, that is, the emperor.However, the power was still in the hands of the then president, Queen Mother Dou.The ambitious Liu Che did not see this, nor did the two Confucian scholars who assisted Liu Che.However, Shen Sheng, the teacher of Confucian scholars, saw it.So when two Confucian scholars asked the teacher to come out of the mountain, Shen Sheng refused.This is the case with people with outstanding vision (this shows how important it is for those who want to become a career to have such people around them).But such a clever person avoided the situation at that time, which is enough to explain the crisis of the situation.Liu Che still didn't see it.Liu Che's oversight gave careerists a chance to wait for an opportunity.So Huainan Wang appeared.This is an inevitability.Liu Che didn't seem to realize that his position as general manager was already shaking.

The undercurrent is always undercurrent.Wei Wan appeared again, and he taught Liu Che, the general manager who was at the core of the power struggle, the word "retire".A temporary retreat is for a stronger advance in the future.Liu Che immediately realized it.He finally understood that there is a way to advance and retreat according to movement and stillness.So he reluctantly killed two Confucian scholars who were assisting him, and got entangled with the woman he hated.The crisis was finally resolved, but this is not what this article is about.The focus of this article is, with Wei Wan's ability and insight, why did she do her best to assist Liu Che.Assuming that Liu Che is arrogant and conceited, or his qualifications are too dull, Wei Wan may have to retire and return to his hometown, and will no longer interfere in the grievances of Jianghu.So the crux of the problem is not that Liu Che resolved the crisis. The crux is that Liu Che not only attracted like-minded Confucian scholars, but also received guidance and help from visionaries such as guards.In contrast, some entrepreneurs who are in trouble today may continue to study marketing, some continue to reflect on their own personality flaws, and some start to blame others and subordinates.But seldom think about whether they "win people".What kind of people, what kind of staff and what kind of subordinates are gathered around the entrepreneur, which directly determines the entrepreneur's ability to open up the situation and deal with difficulties.

The general manager Liu Che won the consolation of the president Dou Dou while keeping a low profile. At the same time, he took part in military training in the game of Yulinyuan.At this time, Liu Che has experienced the death of Confucian scholars and has become more mature.To do a good job in military affairs, you must first win people.To win people, the first thing is to observe people.At this time Wei Qing appeared.Wei Qing was just a groom, but Liu Che discovered the brilliance of a military leader from his walking posture and the orderliness of his speech.Observing people requires vision, and it is even more necessary to abandon prejudice.Liu Che has all these.Therefore, Wei Qing quickly grew into an outstanding military strategist and made great contributions in the battle against the Huns.His credit has made Liu Che's career.Everyone can see Liu Che's dazzling military history, but he didn't know that his military exploits began the moment he saw a groom.In contrast to the few entrepreneurs nowadays, when selecting a talent, first look at his background, then check his major, and also look at his experience and achievements.Such a vision and such a method have already determined the future of an entrepreneur's career.To win people, you must first check people. Unfortunately, many entrepreneurs have problems with the key issue of checking people.The lack of vision in inspecting people, the lack of courage in employing people, and the lack of strategy in controlling people, such enterprises will eventually have no one to ask for help in the precarious situation.Wei Qing is young, and young people have the shortcomings of young people. They are squeezed out in the environment of seniority, but the president Liu Che doesn't think so.Step by step, he cleared obstacles for Wei Qing and created an environment for him to stand out.All this stems from his trust in Wei Qing's ability and confidence in his own vision.This kind of self-confidence and trust in employing people is what a few entrepreneurs lack.If Liu Che didn't trust his subordinates, he wouldn't delegate power that much. People like Wei Qing would never have a chance to show their talents, and veterans like Li Guang would not be able to contribute their strategy and loyalty.It is precisely because of Liu Che's grandeur as the president that he has achieved his subordinates' careers, and thus his own career.

As the president, Liu Che did not inherit a perfect company.Liu Che is determined to reform because he needs to write his own article in history.So there is a debate between Taoism and Confucianism.Taoism and Confucianism itself are not important, what is important is that Taoism, which advocates maintaining the status quo, satisfies the interests of the aristocracy, while Confucianism, which appoints new people, can better tap the power from the people, and then sweep away the corrupt habits of the aristocracy, and lay a solid foundation for the future. The best internal preparations for the fight against the Huns.At the same time, Liu Che needs to create a new situation, and also needs to introduce new people to clean up and restrict the original system, so that there is room for Liu Che to flex his muscles above the court.While Liu Che vigorously promoted and appointed newcomers, the brilliance of his career gradually emerged.That's the reason why people are happy.

There are a lot of various training courses in the society nowadays, which can be roughly divided into two types: one kind cultivates partial talents, that is, people who possess a certain skill and play a role in a certain link; Get a glimpse of talents who can be used to lubricate the enterprise system.Today's entrepreneurs need both types of talents.But this is not enough. A real entrepreneur needs not only a keen eye for observing people, but also the grandeur of using people, and more importantly, winning people.Inferior entrepreneurs can only use people whose talents are not as good as their own, because they are always worried that their subordinates will overwhelm them and that they will not be able to control them. This is a heart problem.Medium-sized entrepreneurs can use people who are as talented as themselves, and they can make a career, but it is very difficult to make it big and long-term. Often, it is difficult to make progress when the business encounters a bottleneck.A good entrepreneur has both the vision of observing people and the courage to employ people. The key is to be able to attract people whose talents are higher than his own, so his career has no end.The sage Confucius said that he should reflect on three things every day, and I also copy them. Entrepreneurs also reflect on themselves three times a day: Have I discovered the talents outside the company, have I made good use of the people inside me, and how can I win people.Answer the above three questions, and then practice. For entrepreneurs, whether it is to open up the situation and start a business, to get out of the predicament, or to make further progress, it should not be a long way.
