You are very demanding of your subordinates. You want them to be dignified and well-dressed; to each of them to have outstanding abilities; They should be eloquent and persuasive; You want each of them to be able to share your worries and solve problems for you in your work. In short, you expect them to be perfect, impeccable, serious but physically energetic, humorous and pragmatic, enthusiastic and generous without losing decency. In order to regulate their words and deeds, you have formulated a series of rules and regulations for them to strictly abide by, otherwise you will exercise the rights of the leader in your hands, warning, criticism, salary reduction, demotion, or even dismissal. When your subordinates see you, they are frightened, for fear of causing some trouble, but they are full of mistakes, which makes you very angry, and your subordinates spend their days under your pressure all day long.

If that's the case, have you ever wondered if you are also compliant with these rules and regulations?

No matter how obedient your subordinates are and how close they are to you, it doesn't prove that they are truly convinced of you and do not have any personal interests. Your subordinates are even more demanding of you than you are of them. They want you to be knowledgeable, to be talented, to be broad-minded, to be funny, and to make decisions that are in line with their willingness to obey and provide useful guidance for their creation, rather than just passively obeying and complying with them.

If you want to be a boss who is respected by your subordinates and is willing to obey and accept management, you must first improve your abilities and meet the standards of a good subordinate before you can rise to the leadership level. If you can't even meet the standards and regulations you set, then how can you get your subordinates to do so?

Although you are a leader, this does not necessarily prove that your ability is higher than that of your subordinates, maybe you only have the advantage of qualifications, education and experience, but this has not much to do with ability. Only when you do a better job than your subordinates can you become a true leader, and your subordinates are more willing to listen to you. It's hard to say that none of your subordinates will be able to surpass you, but that you will do better. Napoleon, Eisenhower, and Churchill were just nameless ordinary soldiers before they became military leaders, while Mao ** and Zhou Enlai also started as the most ordinary revolutionaries. If you insist on the dignity of being a leader, you will soon be surpassed by your subordinates, and you will lose the right to exercise orders over your subordinates.

Therefore, as a leader, you should be strict with your subordinates at the same time, so that you will not be ordered.

In real life and work, the strategy of "catching thieves and catching kings" is to require people to compete with each other in the process of not competing with each other, not to compete for those insignificant small profits, as well as those who do not have much hindrance and competitive strength, but to use the main strength on the competitors who pose the biggest and most direct threat to you.
