A leader, if he can play to his strengths and avoid weaknesses, pursue advantages and avoid disadvantages, can make himself invincible. This is what Sun Tzu calls "monasticism" in the Art of War. Cultivating the Tao and protecting the law can be the policy of victory and defeat.

With the development of the market economy, the power of business leaders is increasing. If the leader is "in the way", it will benefit the country, the factory and the workers; Otherwise, it will harm the country, the factory, and the workers. Therefore, whether or not a leader "cultivates the Tao and protects the law" is very important to the whole society.

□ establish the spirit of enterprise, and Matsushita Electric has succeeded in the right way

As the ideal, belief and value of all employees of the enterprise, once established, the spirit of enterprise will form a strong material force.

In Moriguchi, Osaka, Japan's second largest city, is home to one of the world's largest electrical companies. That is "Matsushita Electric", with annual sales of 30 billion US dollars, which is about the same as my total exports in 1987.

Panasonic Electric's development into a world-renowned multinational company is directly related to successful business decisions, and talent training and diligence are its successful mothers.

There are two things about the company that may sound puzzling at first glance, but when you think about it, you can see that these are two secrets to the company's success.

The first thing is about Konosuke Matsushita, the boss of Matsushita Electric Company, teaching his subordinates.

Once, at a company meeting, he asked a middle-level cadre: "When you visit a customer, if the other party asks you what kind of company makes Panasonic, how do you answer?" ”

Faced with the question of President Matsushita, the head of the personnel department of the business department said without thinking, "At that time, I will answer that Matsushita Electric Co., Ltd. manufactures electrical appliances. ”

This sounds like a no-brainer, and anyone would answer that, because the company makes all kinds of products that are electrical. Unexpectedly, he was reprimanded by the Panasonic Society.

"That's not a good answer, what do you people have in your heads?"

So what's wrong with the answer? Obviously, the company is in the electrical appliance business! The old reproaches really make everyone scratch their heads.

"Aren't you guys all working in the HR department? Don't you know that it is the responsibility of those of you who are human resources directors to nurture talents? If someone makes something at Matsushita Electric Co., Ltd., and you don't answer that Matsushita Electric Co., Ltd. is a company that cultivates human resources and also makes electrical products, it means that you don't care about the cultivation of human resources at all. ”

"The foundation of business is people, haven't I told you many times about this? In business management, manufacturing technology, buying and selling methods, capital turnover, etc., are important, but people are the masters of these things. Even if there is money and products, if there is no one who uses these things, then these things will not produce any effect. In any case, talent is the most important thing. If you can't train people well, what can Matsushita Electric Company do? You are the head of each personnel department. ”

The president who slapped the table said excitedly, and his reprimand shook the Panasonic members present. Yes, Panasonic Corporation is a place to manufacture talents, and at the same time to manufacture electrical products, because before manufacturing electrical products, it is necessary to cultivate talents;

Because the organization or method of operation is of course very important, but the promotion is still in the people, not how to improve the organization, how advanced the technology, if there is no suitable talent, the enterprise will be successful.

Mr. Matsushita also places great emphasis on training talents in practice, and he believes that companies train "academics" rather than "clinicians". Knowledge alone cannot run a business, and "clinical experience" must be combined. Therefore, he must train the company's employees, and anyone who works in the company must conduct pre-job training, and can only take up the post after qualifying.

Matsushita Electric attaches great importance to the cultivation of human resources, and its annual expenditure on personnel training and research and development accounts for about 8% of its turnover. People say that in the international electrical competition, Panasonic wins in its cultivation of talents. This statement is exactly what Sima Guang of China expounded in the "General Guide to Governance" that "for the sake of governance, do not precede use". Throughout the history of ancient and modern China and foreign countries, talents create careers, and careers create people, which is a law that has been repeatedly verified by historical practice.

Enterprise spirit is the foundation of enterprise development and the prerequisite for market competition. Wise leaders always work hard to shape the spirit of enterprise first, and truly experience "the first is invincible".

□ perseverance, Hosokawa Gohee rose to the political arena

If you want to put yourself in an undefeated battle and realize the strategy of "winning better than winning", perseverance is a necessary quality. Hosokawa Gohei's political history is a living example.

Hosokawa Gohei is an ambitious politician.

As early as 1983, Hosokawa became the governor of Kumamoto Prefecture. In 1987, Hosokawa was elected. Due to his outstanding political achievements, Hosokawa is known as the standard-bearer of the "local era". However, Hosokawa's goal is not in the place, but in Tokyo. In 1991, Hosokawa relinquished his re-election and became a member of the Affluent Life Committee of the Council for the Promotion of Administrative Reform in Japan, where he began to make friends and lay the foundation for advancing to the center of power.

However, Hosokawa is a latecomer. It is not easy for a belated "guest" to gain a foothold in the intricate political circles, and if he wants to advance to the center of power, what can he talk about?

It takes patience, it takes perseverance, it takes opportunity.

Hosokawa pondered calmly: In recent years, there have been many scandals in Japan's political arena, first the Rilut case, and then the bribery case of the Tokyo Sagawa Express Company, and the Japanese prime ministers have "resigned from the blame" three times in succession. The Japanese people are angry, they have lost confidence in *** who has been in power for 38 consecutive years, and Japanese politics needs a new, honest and honest politician!

It's time to act.

On May 7, 1992, major Japanese newspapers reported with eye-catching headlines: Kumamoto Prefecture Governor Hosokawa Gohei wants to form a new political party!

Two days later, Hosokawa's "New Party of Japan" was officially founded. After only two seconds, Hosokawa was elected to the Senate with 3.6 million votes and entered the Japanese parliament. In the June 1993 election for the Tokyo Legislature, the New Party won 20 seats in one fell swoop. The "New Party of Japan" has firmly established itself in the Japanese political arena.

Hosokawa's "New Party of Japan" caused a major "earthquake" in Japanese politics - Takashi Haneda and Ichiro Ozawa led members of the Senate and House of Representatives of the headquarters to form a separate "new party"; Masayoshi Takemura and other members of parliament formed the "Pioneer New Party". It is precisely for these reasons that in the Japanese House of Representatives election on July 18, 1993, Japan failed to obtain the qualification to independently elect the prime minister, which means the collapse of the situation of dominating the world for 38 years.

Once again, opportunity beckoned Hosokawa.

Hosokawa was the only one, and he united with Takemura Masayoshi and solemnly announced that he would bid farewell to his own party and was willing to form a multi-coalition government with other parties.

The leaders of the New People's Party, the Socialist Party, the Democratic Socialist Party, the New Komeito Party, and the Socialist Party unanimously supported Hosokawa's pioneering move and elected Hosokawa as a candidate for the new government.

On August 6, 1993, Hosokawa defeated the prime minister candidate by 262 votes to 224 and was elected as the 79th Prime Minister of Japan.

Hosokawa's thunderous and unrelenting election as prime minister is a miracle in world politics.

□ is better than Yi Sheng, and Chen Tai skillfully uses soldiers

In 251 AD, the Western Shu generals Jiang Wei, Xiahouba and others led tens of thousands of troops to attack Wei's Longxi. Wang Jing of Wei Yongzhou said to Chen Tai, the general of the expedition to the west: "I heard that Jiang divided his troops into three routes, one to Qishan, one to Shiying, and the other to Jincheng. So we also have to be arranged in three ways, you send troops to flank the Baoshi battalion, transfer the Liangzhou army to Baobao Jincheng, and send the Shu Protector Xu to protect Qishan. Chen Tai thought to himself that with Jiang Wei's strength and strength, it was inevitable that he would not be able to divide the three routes, and his own forces would not be able to be separated, so he said to Wang Jing: "Don't worry, look at the situation and know the enemy's intentions." ”

Later, Jiang Wei really only marched all the way into the army. led all the troops to Mubaohan, intending to seize Di Dao and look at Guan Long. Knowing the enemy's intentions, Chen Tai sent Wang Jing to Shoudi and told him that he must wait for the arrival of the army before engaging Jiang Wei. Chen Tai himself led his army to Cang, intending to attack from the flank.

After Wang Jing went, he did not defend Di Dao, but led the army forward, met Jiang Wei in the past, was defeated in the battle, and hurriedly ran back to Di Dao to pack up the remnants of the army to defend. Due to the loss of this battle, Jiang Wei took advantage of the victory to lead his troops forward and surrounded Di Dao's regiments. Di Dao's situation was critical, and Chen Tai knew that the original flank offensive was useless, so he hurriedly ordered the five battalions to move forward, and the army followed to save the siege of Di Dao.

When the troops arrived in Shangbang, Deng Ai, Hu Fen, Wang Mi and others also led the troops. Deng and others said: "Wang Jing's elite soldiers have been defeated by Jiang Wei, and the enemy's soldiers are full of vigor and are difficult to stop. And the troops you led are really a rabble, and after the new defeat, the morale is depressed, and the right side of Longyou is in turmoil. The ancients said: 'The pit viper stings his hand, and the strong man breaks his wrist'. "Sun Tzu Bing" also said: 'The soldiers do not attack, and the land does not defend'. This means enduring small losses to preserve the overall situation. Now, the danger of Longyou is far greater than that of the belly snake, isn't Di Dao exactly the place to be? Jiang Wei's soldiers, march forward bravely, we should avoid their sharpness. Therefore, it is better to give up the defense of Di Dao, first seek self-preservation, and then try to enter Longshi, this is the lord's plan. Chen Tai said: "Jiang Wei led his light troops deep into the distance, and the food and grass were not continued, so he must seek a quick battle with us." Therefore, the king should have high walls and deep bases, frustrate its sharpness, and not fight with it. But he didn't know the situation, and fought the enemy quickly, so that the enemy had the ambition to encircle Di Dao. If Jiang Wei conquers Di Dao, and then leads Hou to the east, occupies the land of Liyang rice, garrisons here, recruits rebels, seduces the Qiang people, and fights for Guanlong in the east, then the four counties will probably be obtained by Jiang Wei. In that case, we will be in big trouble. If you don't ask for it, Jiang Wei looks at the Central Plains, and the danger is there; As for the conquest, Jiang Wei held on to the city with a victorious army, and the situation of holding on was different, and it was very easy for our army to win. And now? Jiang Wei suddenly mobilized a large army to go deeper, and the grain and grass were bound to be not, this is exactly the time when I marched to break the enemy, as long as our army advanced, with a lightning speed, Jiang Wei would undoubtedly break. Moreover, our army occupies the high ground, and the attack from above is like a bamboo, and the enemy will go away without a fight. The enemy will not tolerate it, and the besieged Di Dao will not last long, why do you generals say this? Chen Tai then marched across Gaochengling and prepared to save the siege of Di Dao.

The mind is decided, how to arrange the plan to save the soldiers? Chen Tai thought to himself, Jiang Wei's use of troops was extraordinary, since he surrounded Di Dao, he must have set up troops to attack reinforcements in the dangerous places on the mountain roads. What to do? He ordered the troops to sneak at night, bypass the enemy's possible ambush on the north road, and lead the army to the south, to the high mountain southeast of Dicheng, and sure enough, Jiang Wei's ambush passed. As soon as the army arrived, they raised more beacons on the high mountain, beat drums and horns, and told the city that help had arrived, and the morale of the soldiers in the city was greatly boosted. And Jiang Wei saw that the rescue soldiers suddenly arrived, which was unexpected, and the army was shocked. Jiang Wei led troops to fight, and Chen Tai retreated due to the unfavorable terrain. Later, Chen Tai conspired to cut off Jiang Wei's retreat. After Jiang Wei heard this, he hurriedly led his troops to escape, and the siege of Di Dao was lifted, and Jiang Wei did not get any benefit from Chen Tai's hands.

In this war of fighting minds, Chen Tai's resourcefulness was vividly displayed, he first wanted to hold the only way for Jiang Wei to advance the army, and then launched a flank counterattack from Chen Cang. Therefore, as soon as the pass was defeated, Di Dao was in danger, and the flank counterattack could not be implemented, so he surprisingly bypassed the ambush and suddenly appeared in front of Jiang Wei's army and saved Di Dao. and then plotted to cut off Jiang Wei's retreat and scared Jiang Wei away. won this battle, and even Sima praised Chen Tai. Jiang Wei also showed a high military strategy, he falsely claimed that the soldiers took three ways, and suddenly marched all the way to Mubaohan, surrounded Di Dao, ambushed the soldiers, and had no choice but to meet the opponent, and did not get a trace of cheapness.

Chen Tai fought Jiang Wei, used the reaction technique, surprised the soldiers on the high mountain, raised more fire, beat the drum and beat the horns, the morale of the soldiers in the city was greatly boosted, Jiang Wei's soldiers were shocked, and created conditions for victory.

Under extremely unfavorable circumstances, in-depth exploration of the enemy and active preparations are Chen Tai's outstanding points, as the so-called "those who are good at fighting are better than those who are easy to win."
