Reading the Tao Te Ching, Chapter 17 says: It's too high, I don't know; Second, personal reputation; Second, fear it; Secondly, insult it. I don't believe enough, but I don't believe enough. Youxi, its expensive word. When I succeed, people call me "I was born"
Translated, that is to say, the best ruler, the people do not know his existence; Secondly, the people approached him and praised him; Third, the people fear him; What's more, people despise him. The people don't trust the ruler because he lacks honesty. The best rulers are so carefree. He seldom gives orders, and he does things successfully. People say, "That's what we are."
Laozi divided rulers into four types, the most obvious being that people didn't know his existence; Worst of all, being despised by the people; Even better, people get close to him, praise him or fear him.
Laozi's subjective wish, that is, the ideal political situation, should be that the rulers are honest and clean, carefree and rarely give orders, and the people and the government live and work in peace and contentment, and each leads a leisurely life.
The best state of management is that Taoism is natural and inaction is the rule.
Leadership is the same as no leadership, everything is orderly, step by step, orderly, which is the best management state and the most brilliant management art.

Bai once told a story: His mother worked in a school and said, "Actually, our school is quite good now. Even if the principal is not here, as long as the person who rings the bell is there, it will work normally. "
This sentence made her suffer a lot of criticism, saying that she was unprincipled and lacked organizational discipline.
In fact, what White Mother said is actually an ideal state.
If a school can perform its duties only by ringing the bell, it shows that the principal has good leadership, the school management is on the right track, and the quality of teachers is excellent.
A unit, if the rules and regulations are complete, all departments can perform their duties, "do what they should do", cadres conscientiously perform their duties, and employees act according to standards, then it shows that the unit is well managed and must be a cohesive good unit.
On the other hand, if the implementation depends on the leadership staring at it, showing it to the leadership and doing "eyelid work", then the management will definitely be chaotic. It is difficult to establish an effective management structure by relying on the rule of man instead of the rule of law.

Bai also has a "Bai's theory": as long as any unit starts to emphasize discipline such as attendance and punching, it will definitely start to decline.
The "Bai Theory" is inevitably biased and may not be applicable to all units. But he has his reasons, because an uphill unit often has strong cohesion, employees take the unit as their home, and their work enthusiasm and initiative are very high. Everyone is not waiting for the whip to be self-motivated. You should do your job well and work overtime to ensure the quality and quantity.
Laozi's thought of governing by doing nothing is not to say doing nothing, but to pay attention to scientific management, "adapting to the weather and winning people's hearts."
Governing by doing nothing is a kind of management realm. I remember reading a book, which said that third-rate management is art, second-rate management is the way, and first-class management is the realm. It has also been said that third-rate management depends on system, second-rate management depends on talents, and third-rate management depends on culture.
Being a leader is the same as being a manager, which is the goal of management. For employees, it is the attitude of work.
Management and being managed are in the same direction, because they eat a pot of rice!
