Zeng Guofan's grandfather, Zeng Yuping, had little culture, but his prestige was very high, and when there was any matter or dispute in the village, he would be called to solve it, and the result of the solution was convincing to everyone.
If anyone is not convinced, he glares or shouts, and the person walks away in a gloomy manner, and will take the initiative to go to Zeng Yuping's door to apologize afterwards.
Zeng Guofan said to his son Zeng Jize:
I also walk with a heavy demeanor, and it depends on my grandfather. ”
Zeng Guofan is recognized as a steady person, how can we apply what we have learned?
Zeng Guofan: "Those who are good at talking about military affairs must have shallow experience, and those who are good at attacking others must be sparse in their self-cultivation." ”
A person who likes to talk about military affairs must have very shallow experience in the army or as a general, because the battlefield is changing rapidly, and a truly experienced general will definitely not draw conclusions easily.
A person who often says that others are not good, his self-cultivation foundation must be very shallow, because his eyes are only on others, and he never pays attention to his own progress. )
I've seen such a story.
When Zeng Guofan first led the Hunan army, someone came to recommend himself to him, and Zeng Guofan listened to this person's boastful talk and judged that this person was unstable.
This person later came to Zeng Guofan again and again, but he was closed.
Later facts also proved that Zeng Guofan's judgment was correct.
Why don't older people like to give advice to younger people? Because they know that the outcome of things is not so predictable.
The language is slower, the action is steady, everything is over, and trouble will not be found.
Zeng Guofan: "Don't enter people lightly, that is, don't retreat lightly on different days." Do not be vain on relatives, that is, do not neglect people on a different day. ”
Not easily promoting and reusing a person is the fundamental reason why this person will not be easily dismissed in the future.
Not being close to someone for no reason is the foundation for not alienating someone for no reason in the future. )
What is difficult to understand is not as difficult as it is for people to understand.
Don't make a decision lightly when promoting and selecting talents, otherwise, a bunch of troubles will wait behind.
The taboo of leading *** is changeable, capricious, and it is not good to talk after a few times.
Therefore, to make every decision prudently is to be responsible for talents, to be responsible for the cause, and to be responsible for yourself.
Tang Haoming's "Biography of Zeng Guofan" wrote that Zeng Guofan had an in-depth understanding of Peng Yulin before appointing Peng Yulin: background investigations, other people's opinions, Peng Yulin's experience, etc., all did detailed "research".
The same is true for making friends, people who tell each other their secrets not long after dating are often quickly "betrayed".
So, neverSpeak deeply
Zeng Guofan: "What you say today, don't change tomorrow because of small interests." ”
What you say today, don't change your mind tomorrow because of some small stake. )
Zeng Guofan often praisedLi HongzhangThe steadiness of the once said he:
"The direction of dispatch is not light, and the hair should be reasonable. ”
Orders and dispatches never make decisions lightly, and once they do, they are in line with the actual situation. )
There are also generals of the Hunan armyLi Xubin, Zeng Guofan said of him:
Di'an is good at fighting, and its victory is determined by 'not approaching lightly, not retreating lightly.'
Di'an is Li Xubin.
Di An is good at fighting, mainly because he does not attack easily and does not retreat easily. )
Leadership and war are both a test of a person's comprehensive ability, and the right decision or decision can make the team exert super vitality, make the best use of talents, and make the best use of things.
There is a saying on the Internet that says this,When deciding on something, you will pay attention to it in advance, study it carefully, and move forward when you decide.
Prudence is not submissive, not staggering, but the steadiness and courage of being careful first and then bold.
Whether it is recognizing, employing, or admonishing people, they all look at others from their own perspective.
In addition to looking at others, what we should do is to reflect on ourselves.
Do unto others as you would have them do to you.
When we don't like a certain person or a type of person, we should first reflect on whether we are that kind of person and tell ourselves never to be like that.
I'm Red Seven-Six, follow me, and we learn, change, and grow together.
