First, have extensive professional knowledge. This requires managers to read more and be exposed to more cultural knowledge, especially paying attention to absorbing knowledge from traditional culture. Confucius once "climbed Dongshan and made a small Lu, climbed Mount Tai and made the world small." This shows that there is no end to knowledge, and only continuous learning can make continuous progress. For business management, only continuous learning can improve the comprehensive business quality, so that when representing the company, it will not damage the corporate image.
Second, communication skills are an essential quality for every manager. First learn to adapt to others, integrate into other people's words, and then show your confidence, so as to achieve the purpose of coordinated communication with others.
Third, the ability to persuade others. As a business manager, you must have this ability and use your knowledge and experience to convince others to achieve the purpose of management. There was such a group of people in ancient China, they were politicians. During the Warring States Period, he was a counselor who used vertical and horizontal strategies to lobby the princes and engage in political and diplomatic activities. Listed as one of the hundred schools of thought. The main representatives are Su Qin, Zhang Yi, etc. During the Warring States Period, the south and the north were combined to form a vertical line, and the west and the east were linked to form a horizontal line. Su Qin urged Yan, Zhao, Han, Wei, Qi, and Chu to unite vertically to resist Qin, while Zhang Yi tried his best to break the vertical union and unite the six horizontal states to serve Qin separately. This is how the strategist got his name. Their activities had an important impact on the changes in the political and military structure during the Warring States Period. Among them, Su Qin and Zhang Yi are the most famous. They are famous all over the world and have successful careers, all because of their art of persuading others. [page]
Fourth, the ability to deal with complex problems. Viewed horizontally, it looks like a ridge and a peak on the side, with different heights near and far. ——Song Dynasty Su Shi's "Tixi Linbi" makes it very clear that the problems of modern society are becoming more and more complex, and as an enterprise manager, you must have the ability to deal with complex problems.
Fifth, the power of persistence. Xunzi's "Encouraging Learning" focuses on this issue, and the importance of persistence is self-evident. "When accumulated soil becomes a mountain, wind and rain will flourish; when accumulation of water becomes a chasm, dragons will emerge; when accumulation of good deeds becomes virtuous, the gods will be content with themselves and the holy heart will be ready. Therefore, if you don't accumulate steps, you cannot reach a thousand miles; if you don't accumulate small streams, you cannot create rivers and seas." A horse can take ten steps in one leap; a horse can ride ten steps, but the merit lies in perseverance, and the rotten wood will not be broken; if you persevere, you can carve out gold and stone. Huangquan means one intention. A crab kneels down with two claws. It is not like a snake and an eel that has nothing to rely on. Therefore, those who have no ambition will not be enlightened; those who do not have shameful things will not be outstanding. Those who follow the road will not be able to tolerate the two kings. The eyes cannot see clearly, and the ears cannot hear clearly. The corpse dove is in the mulberry tree, and its son is seven. A gentleman has the same manners. His appearance is as beautiful as his heart! "Therefore, gentlemen unite as one." The general meaning of this passage is: the accumulation of earth and rocks forms a high mountain, and wind and rain rise from here; the accumulation of water and water forms an abyss, from which dragons emerge; the accumulation of good deeds develops noble character. , your mind will naturally become clear, and you will have the spiritual realm of a saint. Therefore, without accumulating one and a half steps, there is no way to reach a thousand miles; without accumulating small flows, there is no way to form rivers and seas. A good horse can only travel less than ten steps when it leaps; a bad horse can go far in a carriage for ten days; its success lies in keeping moving. (If) it stops after a few carvings, (then) the rotten wood will continue to carve. (If) you keep carving, (then) you can carve gold and stone successfully. Earthworms do not have sharp claws or teeth, but they have strong muscles and bones, but they can eat soil upwards and drink spring water downwards. This is because they are single-minded. A crab has six legs and two claws. If there are no caves for snakes or eels, it will have nowhere to hide. This is because it has impetuous intentions. This metaphor still has strong practical significance for the current business management community, and is worthy of learning and reference by managers.
Sixth, a free and easy mind. French writer Hugo once said: "The broadest thing in the world is the sea, wider than the sea is the sky, and the human mind is wider than the sky."
Fortunately, there was still Fan Zeng, but Xiang Yu actually doubted Fan Zeng's loyalty. Nothing is more chilling than an old minister's loyalty being doubted. Fan Zeng had no choice but to retire and return home, and fell ill and died on the way home. Xiang Yu also lost his last adviser. From then on, fate no longer favored the brave and skilled King Xiang, and Wujiang committed suicide.
Three Visits to the Thatched Cottage is a famous example. It tells that Liu Bei admired Zhuge Liang's talents and wanted to ask him to come out to help him unify the country. For the first time, the three of them came to Longzhong and returned disappointed when they learned that Kong Ming was not there. The second time, Liu Bei heard that Zhuge Liang was back, and immediately asked people to prepare horses. When they arrived at the thatched house, Zhuge Liang was still not there, and the three of them returned disappointed. Spring is here, Liu Bei plans to visit Kong Ming three times, but Zhang Fei and Guan Yu are impatient. The three of them went to Longzhong for the third time and came to the thatched cottage. They knew that Zhuge Liang was sleeping, so Liu Bei waited for him. Kong Ming woke up, and the two of them made courtesies, and then talked about national affairs. Liu Bei invited him again and again. Zhuge Liang saw Liu Bei visiting the thatched cottage three times. With such sincerity, how could he not agree to Liu Bei's invitation?
From then on, Liu Bei was able to dominate the world. He no longer had to have a group of highly capable generals as before, but without a master strategic planner, he was just a small warlord after all.
If you get talents but don’t trust them, you will try to contain them at every turn, and in the end it will be nothing. When employing people, you must dare to use them to the end, that is, you should not doubt them. Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, did the best on this point. His deeds can be seen in "Tang Taizong's Comments on the Virtues": Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty said to Xu Jinggong: I look at the ministers and you are the only one who is virtuous. Why do some people say that you are right or wrong? Xu Jinggong said: I heard that spring rain is like ointment, nourishing all things. Farmers like it to be moist, but pedestrians hate it to be muddy. The autumn moon is like a mirror, shining in all directions. Beauties like their rewards, but thieves hate their splendor. Although the lamb is beautiful, it is difficult for everyone to agree. Right and wrong come and go, and if you don't listen, there will be nothing. If the king listens, his ministers will be punished, if the father listens, the son will be punished, and if the brothers listen, they will be neglected. Friends listen differently. The couple heard it and separated, and the villagers heard it and hated it. A majestic seven-foot body, beware of a three-inch tongue. There is a dragon spring on the tongue, killing people without seeing blood. The general idea is: Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty said to Xu Jinggong: I think among the officials, you are the only one who is very virtuous, but some people still criticize you for your right and wrong. Why is this? Xu Jinggong said: I heard that spring rain is like the essence of moistening things, (it) nourishes all things. Farmers love its moistness, and pedestrians hate the mud it causes. The moon on an autumn night is like a bright mirror. Refined ladies like to admire it, but thieves hate its brightness. Although the lamb is delicious, it is difficult for everyone to agree. Right and wrong happen every day. If you don't pay attention to it, it will be fine. If the king listens, his ministers will be beheaded (in vain); if the father listens, his son will be punished; if the brothers listen, they will alienate each other. Friends who believe this will break off their friendship. Couples will get divorced if they believe it, and villagers will hate each other if they believe it. A man who is seven feet tall must beware of a tongue that is only three inches long. The tongue is like the Longquan Sword, it kills people without showing blood.
In addition, the rational use of talents is also crucial. We also apply their strengths when using talents. For example: there is a farmer and five sons in a certain village. The eldest son is loyal and honest, the second son is smart, the third son is a hunchback, the fourth son is lame, and the fifth son is deaf. While everyone was worrying about how his five sons would live after the farmer passed away, the farmer had already made his own arrangements. He asked the eldest son to farm, the second son to do business, the third son to make straw ropes, and the fourth son to set up a stall. The fifth son went to blast rocks and build mountain roads. Three years later, this family became the richest family in the village. This is the result of his ability to proceed from reality and rationally utilize everyone's strengths.
