Complete sincerity And Guard clumsy

At the morning meeting of all management cadres in the multi-function hall of the new plant on February 19, 2022, Mr. Wang expounded that “only the sincerity of the world can defeat the hypocrisy of the world, only the awkwardness of the world can defeat the cleverness of the world”.

《Zuo Zhuan 》 records: “there is virtue in the University, followed by meritorious service, followed by speech. Although it has not been abolished for a long time, this is called three immortality.” This sentence was put forward by Lu guo's high-profile Sun Shubao, who was in charge of diplomacy during the Warring States period. After thousands of years of inheritance, it has become the “Three virtues of a gentleman”of scholar bureaucrats. Since the Song Dynasty, there have been only a few people who can truly establish three virtues of a gentleman, except Fan Zhongyan, who “worries about the world first and enjoys the happiness of the world later”, Wang Yangming of the Ming Dynasty and Zeng Guofan of the late Qing Dynasty. Zeng Guofan has a famous saying: “only the sincerity of the world can defeat the hypocrisy of the world, only the awkwardness of the world can defeat the cleverness of the world”, which is the source of his leadership and a true portrayal of his life. 

Complete sincerity

Sincerity is to treat people with sincerity, not engage in power tactics, not engage in conspiracy, and simplify the working relationship. Zeng Guofan reflected in a letter to his younger brother Zeng Guoquan: “I was an honest man and didn't have any big plans, but I used to mix in officialdom and learned some power skills. On the one hand, I broke my mind skills. On the other hand, people like us are not as good at using power skills as others. In the eyes of outsiders, it will only make people laugh and do harm rather than good. ”When Zeng Guofan was administering the Hunan army, the remarkable feature of treating his subordinates was that he didn't use power tactics. He said that "the way to control generals is the most expensive to promote sincerity, not power skills"。That is we should confide in our subordinates. For our management cadres, we should care about their lives, their growth and their physical and mental health when dealing with employees. We can't wait until employees are about to leave Ouhai to say a lot of good words and make a lot of promises. Whether people are sincere or not can be reflected from the time dimension and daily behavior. This is the truth of “Time reveals a person's heart”. Whether you are sincere is also reflected in whether what you say is what you think, whether what you do is what you say, and whether your commitments have been fulfilled.

Guard clumsy

Choose plain people.Zeng Guofan is willing to use people who look stupid and have a real heart. Qi Jiguang's recruitment standard in the Ming Dynasty is similar to that of Zeng Guofan. In Qi Jiguang's view, those slippery people in the market can't be trusted at the critical moment, they will run away, and they will pull others to run away together. Most of the soldiers he chose were honest people in the countryside who were sturdy, solid and calloused. Such people are easy to command and can fight.For our company, we should also learn from our predecessors and choose people who are down-to-earth and willing to make practical efforts.

Believe in cause and effect Everything has cause and effect.  Generally speaking, your achievements today are due to your pay and efforts yesterday or what you did right things in the past. If you don't get results today, you must have done something wrong in the past. Today's efforts are prepared for tomorrow's harvest. Just as farmers cultivate and sow in spring and weed and fertilize in summer, they can get a good harvest in autumn. In our work, we should not be opportunistic. We should not think of taking shortcuts or dreaming of pie falling from the sky. Instead, we should be result oriented, take the initiative, find out the underlying logic and consolidate the basic skills.

Recognize yourselfThe ancients said: those who know people are wise, and those who know themselves are clear. There are no prodigies or gifted teenagers here today. We should recognize that we are all ordinary people. Only when a person recognizes himself can he be humble. During the Spring Festival, at the family meeting, I shared my reading experience with the children: the place where I studied in grade one and grade two of primary school was in a temple, with 20 or 30 students in a class. In the first semester of grade one, my grades were ranked below the middle. After more than a year of efforts, my grades were in the top several. In the three years of primary school, due to the problem of educational resources, children from several surrounding villages concentrated in Guoling primary school, with 40-50 students in one grade. Just entered Guoling primary school, my grades were ranked below the middle of the whole grade. When I graduated from primary school, my grades caught up with the top ten. Later, I was admitted to junior middle school and went to yayang middle school. My grades were also ranked below the middle. When I graduated from junior middle school, my grades caught up with the top several. Later, when I went to Wenzhou machinery industry school and Shanghai foreign language school, my grades were caught up by being willing to make stupid efforts. The purpose of sharing my reading experience with you is to tell you a truth: we should realize that our starting point is not high, but as long as you pursue and work hard, over time, you will catch up with others or even surpass others.

I wonder if anyone here has observed that the company's fountain and globe have built a total of nine floors. Lao Zi said, “the wood of embracing is born at the slightest; the platform of nine floors starts from the earth”. The meaning is “the hugging thick wood grows from a needle as fine as a needle. The nine storey high platform is built from baskets of soil.” We should focus on our goals in everything, start with the most basic work in a down-to-earth manner, and make achievements after long-term accumulation.

Complete sincerity is to create an atmosphere of simplified relationship within the team, so as to treat people with sincerity and establish people with faith. Guard clumsy is not to speculate and take shortcuts, believe in cause and effect, recognize yourself and be willing to make stupid efforts, and create possibilities and harvest success through long-term accumulation.
