Sima Guang said, "What a poor statement! When a gentleman is hired to hold an important position, he is always modest and unwilling to agree; When you asked him to resign, he was not attached at all. And those who rely on talent and love to show off are just the opposite. He thinks that important positions are hard to come by, so he tries his best to keep high positions. If you force him to step down, he hates it and waits for revenge. I think you will have problems in the future if you choose people like this. "
Wang Anshi ignored Sima Guang's words and went in one ear and out the other. Sure enough, as Sima Guang expected, it was these people who were reused by Wang Anshi at the beginning and eventually became villains who betrayed him. So the conclusion is: it is better to use fools than villains.
Sima Guang believes that "virtue" and "talent" should be strictly distinguished. He put forward: "Good and evil are smooth, and virtue is also good." "Wisdom is foolish and brave, and talent is also." In other words, people's kindness, malice, disobedience and obedience, that is, ideology and morality, are called "virtue"; People's intelligence, courage and cowardice, that is, their ability to do things, are called "talents". Sima Guang believes that between virtue and talent, Derby is more important, the commander-in-chief and the tool of virtue.
Sima Guang classifies talents according to his own view of virtue and political integrity. He thinks: "Only saints can have virtue, and fools can have virtue without meaning;" Desheng is a gentleman, only Desheng is a villain. "
Since there are four kinds of people, who should be given priority? Sima Guang said: "Anyone who is good at learning is an official, and a villain is not stupid."
In other words, people should first use saints with both ability and political integrity, then use enlightened gentlemen, and use fools as a last resort, not despicable people. Because "a gentleman thinks it is good to rely on talent", it can be used to do good deeds; Fools "want to do good things, wisdom can not be weeks, strength can not be won" does not hinder the overall situation; And "a villain is wise and treacherous, a brave man is determined to be violent, and a tiger with wings is also". If a villain has evil thoughts and is "wise" and "brave", the consequences are unimaginable.
Sima Guang clearly expressed the attitude of taking people by virtue. He pointed out that since ancient times, the rebels of the country and the losers of the family are mostly villains with few talents, while the employers often ignore their virtues and only value their talents, which often leads to extremely bad consequences. The following personnel cannot be reused for reference:
Speculators cannot be reused.
Speculators are good at observing faces and colors, treating themselves as commodities, seeking good prices in the "talent market" and being good at bargaining at work. These "market explorers" are eager to use the call of other manufacturers to put pressure on the companies that currently employ them and let the company leaders give them opportunities for promotion or salary increase. They tried to accelerate their development in the original company in the name of "being hired by another company". This trick usually succeeds, especially when other companies happen to be competitors of the original company hired by such speculators.
Flatterers cannot be reused.
Flatterers are convinced that if they can cater to business leaders, they will rise step by step. This kind of person has no talent, poor quality, poor moral concept and weak will.
People who are pretentious cannot be reused.
Some people simply can't tolerate all the actions and ideas of others. For such pretentious people, all kinds of "interpersonal training methods" can't cure their spiritual characteristics that have always been buried in their hearts. It is the best and only solution to isolate such people one by one. This pretentious person looks down on everyone and thinks that only he is the most capable in the world.
Those that consume electricity can't be used again.
People with a strong desire for power exude the unique "smell" of "entrepreneurs" and forget to show their abilities in front of others. This kind of person has the ability. Now that he has made up his mind, he will rise to the highest level and will never stop until he reaches his goal. They concentrate on their own work, and especially need the supervision of others. Their sense of mission and enthusiasm prompted them to try their best to express themselves. Such people regard work as their life, not as a means of life. Such people have no hobbies, no hobbies, and no interest in wasting time. Such a powerful person has only ambition and no plan. Anything or anyone that hinders their ambitions and plans will make them fly into a rage. This kind of person will only stop struggling at the moment of immobility.
Safe cannot be reused.
Steady person, relaxed, careless, not bad-minded, capable of working. This kind of person is a very capable executor and really deserves to be hired by small enterprises. However, they lack the enthusiasm and creativity of powerful people, and their careers are steady and steady. The philosophy of life is "no one offends" and they can win the respect of colleagues and subordinates in a short time. Their main shortcoming is that they have lost ten strengths and just want to get a comfortable position. They can't compete with others.
People who love vanity cannot be reused.
Unknown people are eager to know that they are rich celebrities. This kind of person will tell others at every opportunity that he has frequent contacts with some celebrities. In fact, his so-called celebrity friends may not know him at all, or only know that he is a "king of cowhide". Nevertheless, this kind of person tries his best to convince people that he is good material for being a manager. According to the logic of ordinary people, he became a manager, with so many famous friends, and he was afraid that small enterprises had no background. This kind of person has no real skills, but only talks about his social life in a loose mouth.
People with too many theories don't need it.
This company is not a research institution. You asked him "what's going on", and he said a lot about this doctrine and that viewpoint, but he didn't say how to solve it. He may be a good scholar, but he is by no means an efficient employee.
People who can't communicate use it less.
The most important thing in life is integrity of personality, but different living habits. There are no saints in business contacts, and people who smoke and drink exercise are more likely to show affinity with customers. Not smoking, not drinking, being orderly is not a disadvantage, but it may be detrimental to business needs.
