Chapter 12 Chapter Five: The Growth and Maturity of the Learning Team

At the beginning of its establishment, the entire sutra learning team was extremely immature, the leaders did not have the quality of leadership, and there was no friendship among employees. Such a team is fine if it does not face challenges, but if it encounters a dangerous situation, it will inevitably be doomed. However, Tang Seng, Zhu Bajie and Monk Sha never imagined that this catastrophe would come so soon. After chasing Sun Wukong away, Tang Seng drove for a while in a happy mood. When he was tired, Tang Seng asked Zhu Bajie to cook some fast food. Zhu Bajie finally took over the work of Monkey King, feeling happy and happy, but the three of them Unexpectedly, this is the beginning of the nightmare.

In the past, Zhu Bajie only ate fast, regardless of fasting. He ate the most and complained the most. When it was finally his turn to fast, he realized that fasting was a job of physical strength, skill and luck. The hungry and stupid second senior brother finally compromised. He didn't care about the starving master and the Drifting monk who was eagerly looking forward to his return, and let him sleep first before talking. This sleep was so far away, Tang Seng was so hungry that he was about to collapse, so he couldn't help asking Drifting, why didn't your second senior brother come back?Lao Sha understood what Master was thinking, and immediately volunteered to look for his second brother.So Drifting became obsessed with the road and kept looking for it.

Tang Seng waited and waited, only to find that the second child and the third child did not come back. Tang Seng was so hungry that he couldn't hold on, so he had to endure his dizziness, walked two limp legs, and went to find food by himself.The result was that he didn't find the food, and he became the food of the yellow-robed monster instead. At this time, Tang Seng may remember the goodness of his great apprentice Sun Wukong deep in his heart, and maybe before he has time to remember, the turning point of his fate has come, and Baihuasha has released Tang Seng.Tang Seng saved the day, and the little nostalgia for Monkey King that had just emerged in his heart disappeared.But fate is so teasing. Tang Seng, who escaped from the catastrophe, made a small report to the king after arriving in Baoxiang country, and bragged about the bravery of his two apprentices. At the time of the demon, Tang Seng was stunned and asked two ineffective apprentices to exterminate the yellow-robed monster.

So what are the skills of Ai Tu Zhu Bajie and Drifting Monk that make Tang Seng full of confidence?It is described in the original book like this - how do you think you can't beat him (yellow robe monster) like this?At the beginning of the battle, there were the gods who protect Dharma, who were in the cave for Tang Seng and secretly assisted Bajie Shaseng, so it was only a tie; at this time, all the gods were in Baoxiang Kingdom to protect Tang Seng, so the two were hard to beat... But it is said that Bajie, Sand Monk and the monster fought for thirty rounds, and there was no winner.Why do you think there is no winner?In terms of gambling skills, not to mention two monks, even twenty of them are no match for that goblin.

This is the performance of mediocrity, and mediocrity is mediocrity, and the shortcomings cannot be made up for by quantity. Don't say that Zhu Bajie Jiaza monk is equal to Monkey King, they can't even match Monkey King's arm. Mana is not very good, what about wisdom?In fact, there is no need for other proofs at all, it is enough to show that Zhu Bajie and Monk Sha have no resourcefulness. If they had, it would not be a sickness for the master and apprentice to go back to catch the monster after finally running away!What are you incapable of showing? Low mana and low IQ, that's all. What's even more despicable is that Zhu Bajie is ruthless.In the original book - two people are hard to beat.The idiot said: "Monk Drifting, come forward and fight with him, and let the old pig show respect." He ignored Monk Drifting, and slipped into the wormwood, weeds, thorns and kudzu vines, regardless of good or bad, and had a meal When he got in, the pipe scratched his scalp, scratched his face, fell asleep, and never dared to come out again, but left half of his ears to listen to the bang.

It can be said that Zhu Bajie has no brotherhood towards Drifting Monk, and he doesn't care about Drifting Monk's life or death. He also has no friendship with Tang Seng as a teacher-student-Bajie said: "If you can move, then go to the sea. Take the luggage and other old pigs to Gao Laozhuang, and go back to the furnace to be a son-in-law." Xiaolong heard and said, He bit his straight collar with one bite, and he was willing to let it go. He couldn't stop the tears from dripping in his eyes and said: "Senior brother! You must never be lazy!" Bajie said, "What if you are not lazy? Brother Sha has been caught by him, I am If you can't beat him, what are you waiting for if you don't take advantage of this to disperse the fire?"

It can be seen that Zhu Bajie doesn't care about Tang Seng's life or death. If Tang Seng listens to his beloved disciple, he doesn't know how he will feel. But what can be expected is how sad and disappointed Tang Seng was when he became a tiger and no one rescued him. Therefore, Zhu Bajie's performance can be said to have given Tang Seng and Sand Monk a preliminary realization, that is, under the leadership of Zhu Bajie, not to mention subduing demons and eliminating demons, even the most basic life-saving requirements cannot be met. It's pig Wuneng, it's simply pig incompetence!

With enough foreshadowing, Tang Seng and Drifting are really looking forward to Monkey King's expectations. At this time, it is necessary for us to praise Xiao Bailong, who is both wise and brave. It can be said that since Monkey King left, Xiao Bailong has performed the best. His performance has added a lot of points to the learning team. Of course, Xiao Bailong The biggest contribution after his appearance is to successfully persuade Zhu Bajie, and let Zhu Bajie successfully invite back the big brother Sun Wukong. So, how does Sun Wukong behave? First of all, Sun Wukong has no hatred for Tang Seng, and actively came to help. Mr. Wu also specially wrote a detail-the great sage and Bajie drove the cloud hand in hand, left the cave, crossed the Eastern Ocean, and lived on the west bank. , shouted: "Brother, walk here slowly, wait until I go to the sea to cleanse myself." Bajie said: "Walking in a hurry, what are you cleaning?" The traveler said: "How do you know that since I came back, In the past few days, I have become a bit of a goblin. Master is a clean person, so I’m afraid he will dislike me.” Thinking of Tang Seng’s actions, and reading these few sentences again, it’s hard to hide my sadness.

Secondly, Sun Wukong was very magnanimous to Zhu Bajie, made a few jokes, and did not blame him very much.At this time, Zhu Bajie also expressed admiration for Sun Wukong's emphasis on love and righteousness, "Bajie began to realize that the walker is sincere and has no other intentions."It can be said that the reunification of the scripture learning team is beginning to emerge here. When Sun Wukong came back, let’s look at the performance of the Drifting Monk—when the Drifting Monk heard the three words "Sun Wukong", it seemed like he was enlightened, and his heart was nourished by nectar. Coming alone is like picking up a piece of gold and jade.Look at him rubbing his Buddhist robes, walking out the door, saluting to the traveler: "Brother, you really descended from the sky! Please save me!" The traveler said with a smile, "You Shani! ", can you make it easier for me? You can use your mouth! To protect Master, why don't you go to the west road, but why are you squatting here?" Drifting said: "Brother, needless to say, a gentleman will not blame the past. We are a defeated army. General, don’t speak bravely, save me and save my son!” The traveler said, “Come up.” Then Drifting jumped onto the cliff.

Drifting finally let go of that indifferent and inhuman appearance, he will be overjoyed, ashamed, and grateful. In the original book - Xingzhe (to the yellow-robed monster) said: "Don't talk nonsense! Don't say a hundred or ten, there are thousands or tens of thousands. As long as you find out one by one, you can beat them. There is no room for sticks. I will teach you to eradicate them! " When the monster heard the words, he hurriedly sent an order to light up the group of monsters in front of the mountain and behind the mountain, and all the monsters in and out of the cave. Each of them held his weapon, and blocked the three or four doors tightly.When the walker saw it, he was full of joy, he put his hands on the stick, and shouted "Change!" He changed into a three-headed and six-armed man, and turned the golden cudgel into three golden cudgels.Look at his six hands, holding three sticks, beating him all the way, like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, an eagle coming to a chicken fence, poor little monster, soupy, head like smashed; scraping, blood flowing like water !Traveling vertically and horizontally, it is like entering the land of no one.There was only one old demon left, who rushed out of the door and cursed: "You are a lazy monkey! How come you bully others!" Walker hurriedly turned around, and greeted with his hands: "Come here! Come here! It's time to beat you! Merit!"

Monkey King fights with monsters, brave, resourceful and powerful. Compared with the previous performances of Fanzhu Bajie, Drifting Monk, and Xiaobailong, it can be said that he overwhelms the three of them. In the end, Tang Seng's performance - the walker took the water in his hand, recited the mantra, watched the tiger spray it on his head, retreated from the witchcraft, and relieved the tiger's spirit.The elder reappeared in his original body, opened his eyes fixedly, and recognized that it was Xing Zhe, he supported him and said, "Wukong! Where did you come from?" Drifting stood on the left and right, and sent the Xing Zhe who asked Xing Zhe to subdue the goblin, save the princess, relieve the tiger's anger, and return The above item has been prepared and presented again.Sanzang thanked him endlessly and said: "Sage, I owe you! I owe you too! This time, I went to the west early, and went back to the east to play the king of the Tang Dynasty. Your contribution is the first." The traveler said with a smile: " Don't talk, don't talk! But if you don't read those words, you will feel the love." Tang Seng is still very imaginary at this time, but he doesn't have the heart to be jealous of the virtuous and capable, because he finally understands a truth, no matter how powerful Monkey King is, no matter how much credit he has made, he is still the leader, and he has to make the final decision. However, this Monkey King is absolutely indispensable. At this point, the scripture learning team, which had fallen apart and almost suffered a catastrophe, once again announced their reunion. A yellow-robed monster made Zhu Bajie, Monk Sha, Xiao Bailong and Tang Seng who turned into a tiger deeply understand the desperate situation without Monkey King, and finally led to the revival of the Buddhist scriptures team. This was unexpected by the yellow-robed monster. Thinking about it, he didn't want this to happen, but his unintentional move strengthened a sutra-learning team, and temporarily restored peace and stability to the sutra-learning team that was on the verge of danger. The peaceful and stable sutra-learning team learned from the pain, each thought about their own deficiencies, and slowly corrected them in the years of fighting, and worked with each other, finally making the team mature and successful. A mature scripture learning team first needs a mature leader, and this leader is of course Tang Seng.After Tang Seng understood that the duty of a leader lies in "leading" and "guiding", he never felt jealous again, because he really wanted to understand, whether it is the credit of Monkey King, Zhu Bajie, or Monk Sha. In the end, it is his credit. Even if he does nothing, he only needs to lead these apprentices well and do political work well. Thus, Tang Seng began his real leadership career. First of all, Tang Seng learned the real art of controlling subordinates - "carrot and stick".Tang Seng is a wimp compared to Sun Wukong, even more wimpy than Zhu Bajie, Sha Monk and Xiaobailong. He cannot conquer the three apprentices by force, and it is difficult to really convince Sun Wukong even in academic seminars. After all, Sun Wukong is the A master taught by the master Subhuti who knows all dharmas.But Tang Seng was able to control his subordinates very well in the end. The method he used was the "carrot and stick" method that was widely circulated among leading grassroots. "Carrot" refers to grace. Tang Seng released Monkey King under the Five Elements Mountain. Yingchoujian freed Xiaobailong, converted Zhu Bajie in Gaolaozhuang, and took in Monk Sha in Liushahe. For these four apprentices, Tang Seng was their benefactor and gave them a chance to be a new man.The "big stick" is easier to understand and is a means of punishment.In fact, a wise leader does not necessarily require every employee to be afraid of him, he just needs to ensure that the most thorny employee is afraid of him.Tang Seng firmly controls Monkey King with his unique ability of magic spell, and then uses Monkey King as a "big stick" to control Zhu Bajie and Drifting Monk, thus establishing the supreme leadership position in the entire scripture learning team. Secondly, Tang Seng has learned the real art of balance-to instigate internal fighting and reap the benefits of the fisherman.The author also said in the previous chapters that balance is an art, and if you want to be a good leader, you must learn to balance.There is an old saying: "If the courtiers do not fight, how can the emperor's country be stable?" This is the truth. If the courtiers are united, the emperor will be in danger.Therefore, even a wise man like Li Shimin secretly connives at Changsun Wuji, Feng Deyi and others to fight inseparably; It is to instigate Zuo Zongtang and Li Hongzhang to fight each other for decades.The biggest benefit of the courtiers' fighting for the emperor is that everyone wants the emperor to destroy the other party, so everyone desperately loyal to the emperor, to show their loyalty to the emperor, and the emperor can reap the benefits of the fisherman as long as he grasps a degree.Tang Seng has a deep understanding of this way. He clearly knows that Sun Wukong is strong-willed and hard-working. He also knows that Zhu Bajie is lazy, lustful and incompetent. He also knows that Sand Monk is ineffective and mediocre. , Sometimes he would praise Wukong, scold Bajie, and be cold and cold, and he would do it from time to time, but it was not too much, and he didn't provoke the three apprentices to fight. He played the balance skill perfectly, which made Sun, Zhu and Sha are dissatisfied with each other and guard against each other, but they are all devoted to Tang Seng. In the end, Tang Seng understood the speed of the application of power and tactics very well-brothers fought against the wall and defended against their insults.An aggressive team will not be lifeless, but full of vitality. Every employee is highly competitive, as is the case with the sutra learning team under the conscious or unconscious management of Tang Seng.Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie and Drifting are not in agreement, which provides Tang Seng with a very convenient management situation.But Tang Seng is like a highly skilled helmsman, wonderfully controlling the big boat of the Buddhist scriptures team to fluctuate back and forth on the water without capsizing.This is a question of "speed". In fact, the author also said above that Tang Seng provoked the internal fighting among the three apprentices, but it was not too much. The realm of fighting against the wall and defending against its humiliation from the outside".What's the meaning?It means that the brothers close the door and fight casually, and when the enemy comes, they stop immediately and turn to the outside world.The three brothers Monkey King, Zhu Bajie and Drifting indeed behaved in this way.Therefore, it is necessary for a leader to play power, otherwise it will be difficult to control his subordinates, but he must have full confidence in playing power, and cannot make the situation out of control, otherwise he will be playing with fire and setting himself on fire.Kangxi tacitly allowed Mingzhu and Suo'etu to bite each other, and when he saw that the situation was wrong, he killed Suo'etu without mercy and demoted Mingzhu, precisely because they fought too much.However, Emperor Chongzhen didn't understand the reason, and let crony disputes ruin the Ming Dynasty. The maturity of the leader is a sign of the maturity of the team, but the maturity of the employees is also crucial. In the scripture learning team, Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, Sha Monk and Xiaobailong have also matured after a period of running-in, each has found its own position, and started a clear division of labor and cooperation. Sun Wukong is the leader among the staff when he charges into the battle; Zhu Bajie carries the burden (the novel is different from the TV series), Monk Sha leads the horse to look at the luggage, and Little White Dragon does his feet in obscurity. Professional skills, orderly division of labor, and tacit cooperation. This is how the learning team has experienced hardships, eliminated crises, improved themselves, and matured and progressed in the long and slow journey.
