Now it is fashionable and advanced. The times are evolving, and we cannot lump them together indiscriminately. We cannot say that those new and new humans with alternative personalities are villains. But this at least illustrates one of the characteristics of villains, that is, they all like to show off themselves and do what others do not, which is a manifestation of selfishness and vanity. People who always put themselves first will do anything to the detriment of the collective for their own selfish interests. Similarly, you should not expect a person with strong vanity to make any contribution to the collective. Because vanity is inversely proportional to responsibility. The greater the vanity, the worse the sense of responsibility and the less concerned about work.

Everyone wants to get closer to the core person with power. Around leaders, there will be sincere gentlemen and hypocritical villains. To a certain extent, villains will put more effort into leaders because they want to use the power of leadership to exclude others in order to achieve their own selfish interests. They often behave extremely eccentricly, jumping up and down, appearing busier than anyone else, and more enthusiastic than anyone else. But this is just an appearance, a cover-up to deceive others. Therefore, when dealing with villains, you can only "stay far away but not approachable", otherwise they will be confused by the authorities.

In fact, Zhuge Liang also said similar words in "The Master's Guide". "Being close to virtuous ministers and being distant from villains is why the early Han Dynasty prospered; being close to villains and being distant from virtuous ministers is why the later Han Dynasty was in decline." The two sharp contrasts also reveal the harmfulness of villains. In fact, not only the rise and fall of the Han Dynasty, but also the rise and fall of all dynasties is nothing more than this. The workplace is like a river and lake, with a mixture of good and bad. Moreover, power has no emotions, so it naturally has no discernment to judge who is a gentleman and who is a villain. Those who have this ability are those who control power.

This is actually about leadership quality. A successful leader is not only a person in power, but also a person who uses power. He must have the ability to recognize and employ people. Knowing and employing people is easy to say, but difficult to actually do well. The villain is always hidden, and the word villain is not written on the face, which inevitably makes people's judgment biased. And Mr. Zhuge’s words are like a guiding light, illuminating the direction for us. Flies cannot bite seamless eggs. As long as everyone is on guard against villains and stays away from them in a timely manner, those villains will naturally be helpless.
