When talking about the art of controlling ministers, Han Feizi only talked about rewards and punishments. This is naturally the most important means, but it is not enough. Sometimes two emotional words and a few sad tears are often more touching than senior officials. Therefore, emotional investment can be described as profitable and one of the most brilliant ruling skills.
There are many powerful people who will remember the names of subordinates who have only met once or twice. When they meet on the elevator or at the door, they will nod and smile and call out their names to show their flattery.
A humane boss will win the heartfelt support of his subordinates. Some people say: "There is no love for no reason", and those in power should treat all the emotional input of their subordinates like this.
Wu Qi was a famous strategist in the Warring States Period. When he was the commander-in-chief of Wei Jun, he shared joys and sorrows with the foot soldiers and was deeply supported by the lower ranks. Of course, the purpose of Wuqi's doing this is to let the soldiers work hard for him on the battlefield and win more battles. When he has made great achievements in the military, Juelu will naturally become higher. "One will become famous, and the bones will dry up"!
Once, a soldier had an abscess. As the commander-in-chief of an army, Wu Qi personally sucked pus for the soldiers with his mouth, and the whole army was moved by it, but the soldier's mother cried when she learned the news. Someone asked strangely, "Your son is just a soldier, and the general sucked his abscess himself.". Why are you crying? " It is a blessing for your family that your son can get the general's favor! "Mother cried and said," this is not to love my son, but to let my son work for him. I think General Wu once sucked pus for the child's father. As a result, during the war, my father worked very hard, charged ahead and died in the battlefield. Now that he has treated my son like this, it seems that the child will not live long! "
People are not vegetation, how can they be ruthless? With such a commander-in-chief who loves soldiers like children, can his subordinates not do their best to serve the battlefield? Wuqi is by no means a man who understands human feelings and values feelings. He left his hometown for fame, his mother died, and he didn't go back to his hometown for burial. He married a woman of Qi, but in order to become the commander-in-chief of Lu, he killed his wife to dispel the suspicion of the monarch of Lu. So the history books say that he is a cruel man. But it is such a person who cares about soldiers, like sucking pus and sucking blood, which is difficult for father and son to do, but he does it again and again. Is he really obsessed with soldiers and treats them like children? Of course not. The only purpose of his doing this is to let the soldiers work for him on the battlefield. This really answers the famous saying: "There is no love for no reason."
As a superior, only by having a good relationship with subordinates and winning their support can we arouse their enthusiasm and urge them to work wholeheartedly. As the saying goes,' Take care of your heart'. If you want others to treat you like that, you should treat others like that first. Only by giving love and true feelings first can we get the greeting effect of one word.
Kōnosuke Matsushita, a famous Japanese entrepreneur, is a person who pays attention to emotional investment. He once said: "The most failed leader is the one whose employees run away like a fish when they see you." Every time he sees an employee who works hard, he will personally come forward to offer him a cup of tea and say gratefully, "Thank you so much for your hard work. Please have a cup of tea! " It is precisely because of these little things that Kōnosuke Matsushita never forgets to express his love and care for his subordinates, so he has won the unanimous support of his employees, who are willing to work for him.
In 742 AD, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty issued three imperial edicts to recruit the famous poet Li. Li Bai is 43 years old. He was eager to make contributions all his life, thinking that he could always make great achievements this time, so he came to Chang 'an in high spirits. Tang Xuanzong summoned him in Daming Palace.
In feudal times, the emperor summoned ministers with great majesty. He sat down on the throne, commanding himself, while his deputies trotted up to him and kowtowed to him. This time, when Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty summoned Li Bai, all these strict etiquette were waived. He personally sat on the steps (a means of transportation carried by people) to meet him. Li Bai arrived, stepped down from the steps and strode to meet him. After welcoming people into the hall, Li Bai was treated with boxes inlaid with various gems, probably for fear that the soup served would be too hot and burn Li Bai. Tang Xuanzong personally gave Li Bai a spoon and said to him, "Qing is an ordinary scholar, and your name has actually reached my ears." If you are not an extraordinary poet, how can you do this? "
Then he kicked his pony and asked Li Bai to accompany him to the palace banquet and the Luan family parade.
An ordinary poet, without an official position, can be summoned by the emperor and put on a banquet, which is already very courtesy, and it is a long-term favor to step down to meet him. Although Li Bai's trip to Chang 'an this time didn't make much progress in his career, he was finally politely kicked out of Chang 'an, but this meeting with Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty left an indelible impression on Li Bai's mind, which made him proud all his life and never forgot it until his death.
During the Republic of China, Yuan Shikai, as the "father of Beiyang", also attached great importance to emotional input in controlling subordinates. As early as during the small station training period, he searched for a group of military talents from Tianjin Ordnance School. There are three most famous people: Duan, Feng and Wang Shizhen. Later, they all became all-powerful figures in the Beiyang system. In order to make them appreciate themselves, Yuan Shikai took pains to use them.
When Yuan Shikai founded the new army, he established three associations (brigades) successively. When choosing a club, he announced that he would take an exam and take only one person at a time.
For the first time, Wang Shizhen passed the exam.
The second time, Feng passed the exam.
Duan, who came back from studying in Berlin, thought he was knowledgeable, but failed the exam twice in a row. For Duan, he only has one last chance. Before the third exam, he was very nervous and worried that he would be inferior to others if he failed to pass the exam again, and he was very unhappy.
The night before the third exam, Duan was sitting in a daze, and suddenly the herald came, saying that Master Yuan had asked him to go. Duan did not dare to neglect, and immediately went to Shuaifu to meet Yuan Shikai. Yuan Shikai asked him to sit down and rambled about something irrelevant. Before he left, Yuan Shikai gave Duan a piece of paper. Duan wondered, what is this paper? I dare not open it to my face. I hurried home to open it, but I was not overjoyed. It turned out to be the test questions for this exam.
Duan prepared overnight, and when he took the exam the next day, he had answers. As soon as the exam results came out, he got the first place in high school and became the third association.
Duan deeply felt that Yuan Shikai was a Bole. He is grateful to himself and determined to repay him for life.
Later, Duan, Feng and Wang Shizhen all became important figures in the Beiyang warlord government. Duan talked about how Yuan Shikai helped him tide over the difficulties, and Feng He laughed. It turns out that Wang and Feng also received a note like Yuan Shikai during the exam.
Yuan Shikai's method is wonderful, which can not only make the promoted soldiers repay their kindness, but also convince the soldiers who have not been promoted, which is not only convenient for command, but also creates a high reputation for the promoted. It can be seen that Yuan Shikai is a master of playing politics.
Chiang Kai-shek, like Yuan Shikai, also has a politician's ability to use people to control the country, show kindness and buy people's hearts.
Chiang Kai-shek has a small notebook, which records the font size, native place, relatives and details that ordinary people don't pay much attention to. He always invites officials above major general to have dinner at home. Every time, he has four dishes and one soup, which is very simple. Jiang Jingguo is often the only one. It is more intimate to adopt this kind of family dinner without inviting others to accompany you. At the same time, the simple food left an impression on his subordinates.
After Chiang Kai-shek invited his men to dinner, they always took a group photo together. He has a photo with Sun Yat-sen.. Dr. Sun Yat-sen is sitting. He is standing behind Mr. Sun. He will also pose this pattern when taking photos with his subordinates. The intention is self-evident. He often said to his subordinates:
"Call me the headmaster! You are all my students. "
If it is not Huangpu, he is also very generous: "Oh, register for the next issue!" "This raises the value of subordinates and plays a role in buying and wooing.
When Chiang Kai-shek wrote to his subordinates, he not only called them brothers, but also used the font size to express his closeness to his loved ones. It can be said that he knows the world very well.
Chiang Kai-shek not only remembered the names, birthdays and places of origin of his subordinates, but also carefully remembered the birthdays of his parents. Sometimes, when talking with the general, it is often the birthday of the general's parents. The general is flattered, very excited and deeply shocked by the chairman's concern.
When Lei Wanting, commander of the 12th Corps, was transferred to a new post, Chiang Kai-shek summoned him. Chiang Kai-shek said, "Your mother is two years younger than me, and it's almost Jiazi's birthday!"
Hearing this, Lei Wanting almost cried. His voice trembled with excitement, and he said, "The President is busy and remembers my mother's birthday!" "
Chiang Kai-shek said, "Don't worry! At that time, I will visit her old man and add happiness and longevity to her old man. "
Lei Wanting naturally became Chiang Kai-shek's confidant.
When Du fought for Chiang Kai-shek in Xuzhou, Chiang Kai-shek found Du Mu's birthday from a small notebook. He immediately ordered Herry Liu to celebrate Du Mu's birthday in Xuzhou, and at the same time sent him to Shanghai, where he sent 654.38+million yuan for Du Mu's birthday. When the news reached Xuzhou, Du was very surprised, not only because President Jiang remembered his mother's birthday and personally sent someone to celebrate it, but also because Chen Cheng went to Taiwan Province to recuperate, and Chiang Kai-shek only approved 50,000 yuan.
Chiang Kai-shek's kindness to Du was nothing more than letting Du fight to the death for him.
Chiang Kai-shek was very strict with his subordinates. Those who love officials gave them money, those who love land gave them land. Like Chen Bulei, an old intellectual who doesn't like officials and money, he treats him differently. On the occasion of his 50th birthday, he personally wrote a banner for Chen, which read "Quiet and Far Away from the Ambition". Chiang Kai-shek's move was to Chen Bulei's liking and achieved good results. The plain words made Chen Bulei think that Chiang Kai-shek "knew him best."
A scholar dies for his bosom friend, which is the life pursuit of ancient intellectuals. Chen Bulei followed this creed and worked conscientiously for Chiang Kai-shek. When the Chiang dynasty was established in the west, Chen Bulei committed suicide to show his loyalty to Chiang Kai-shek.
