Gu beat lice as usual.
In ancient officialdom, lice were a very important "stepping stone". For example, in the early years of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, people in Wuxian (AD 288 ~35 1) knocked out a broad career with small lice.
According to Shi Shuo Xin Yu Liang Ya:
Why did you start working for Yangzhou? When he came to power, he stopped outside the state gate. Zhou Houyi and Prime Minister Li got into the car and looked for lice again, but they did not move. Zhou turned his back and pointed to Gu Xin and said, "What's in it?" Bo Gu lice are still there, Xu Ying said: "This is the most unpredictable." Zhou Hou went in and said to the Prime Minister, "There is a servant among the Qing officials."
One day, when he was an official in Yangzhou, he went to see his boss by car and suddenly stopped at the side of the road. Just then, Hou Zhou 'e, a military officer older than him, passed by. Unexpectedly, why not only did you not get off the bus to visit, but you didn't even say hello.
Wu Chenghou couldn't help wondering. He turned and looked. Alas, this brother is at ease, lazily catching lice there.
Wu Chenghou pointed to his chest and asked, "What's inside?" Why still holding the lice, slowly said, "This is the most elusive place."
Well, since ancient times, the human heart is the most elusive. Hou Jinfu of Wucheng said to Wang Dao, "You have a great man under your command, who will definitely become the material for ministers or servants in the future."
Wang Dao, a famous minister in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, was the minister of Emperor Jin Yuan, Ming Di and Cheng Di. That is to say, with the support of Wang Dao, he somehow rose to the top of the world, serving as Situkui, riding assistant minister, official department minister and so on, and worshiping Dr. Zuo Guanglu; After his death, he was posthumously awarded the title of Shi Zhong and Si Tong.
Every position is big and powerful. And to have all this, I have to say that lice have contributed.
Gu He's Personality Introduction
Emperor Zaifu Wang Dao of the Eastern Jin Dynasty (also Wang Xizhi's uncle, a famous calligrapher in the Eastern Jin Dynasty) once went to the following places to guide the work, and asked his accompanying subordinates to judge the gains and losses of an official with a salary of 2,000 stones in his work, so everyone expressed their opinions, except for one accompanying subordinate named Why. Wang Dao was surprised and asked why he didn't say anything.
Why did you say, "I don't think you, as a servant of the dynasty, should listen to one side of the story and let officials get into the habit of gossiping." For those grass-roots officials who really do practical things, you should proceed from the overall situation, be informal, and have the measurement of fish that slip through the net and swallow the boat. Don't listen to the wind as rain. "
It stands to reason that Wang Dao should become angry from embarrassment, but he was very happy and boasted why "well said!" Although this thing is not big, it reflects a phenomenon that is often encountered in life, especially in the workplace, that is, the thinking dislocation between leaders and subordinates. The reason is that their respective positions are different, and the vision, responsibilities and problems they have to face and solve are different, so this conflict will occur.
From what standpoint, his point of view is not wrong. He just doesn't see things from the same height and angle as Wang Dao. In other words, he didn't try to figure out President Wang's real intention. Wang Dao's vision is to stand on the hills overlooking the earth, but why is standing halfway up the mountain looking up at the mountains.
In my opinion, great leaders should give their subordinates more room to play in their work and allow mistakes to occur within a certain range. After all, there are some things that everyone is doing for the first time. If they don't try, who can find the right way?
If the eyes of senior leaders only focus on the error rate of subordinates' daily work, then subordinates will inevitably be tied behind their backs and cautious. Isn't it a popular saying in the modern workplace: "As long as you do one thing, you will make mistakes". It can be seen that allowing a certain range of "error correction costs" will not only affect the quality of work at lower levels, but may also become a driving force for exerting subjective initiative and creativity.
Why is this mentality deja vu? Is it true that around us, people often complain that there are too many rules formulated by the leaders, so that the people below can't work, or even have to "give whatever they want" in order not to deduct bonuses? It seems that the contradiction between senior leaders and subordinate employees due to misplacement of thinking has existed since ancient times, both ancient and modern.
For a ship to walk steadily and fast, besides rowing, it is more important to steer. For a character Rainbow Dao, as long as you hold the rudder firmly and keep the direction of progress, I'm afraid Amitabha will not turn upside down if you let the rudder paddle paddle and prevent the ship from sailing smoothly and quickly.
Although subordinates will pay a certain price for making mistakes, it also depends on what causes the problems. If there are unintentional mistakes in exploring ways to solve problems, there should be some tolerance and understanding, and time should be given to correct them. "Clear water means no fish". A truly qualified leader can learn to coexist with problems and drive the team towards the established goals while solving problems. This seemingly reckless reason is actually very clear in my heart. From this perspective, it is really commendable and gratifying.
