How to synthesize ancient Chinese leadership thought and modern western leadership theory

1. The idea of unification of the group.

In terms of organizational theory, although China did not form a complete theoretical system in ancient times, the management ideas scattered in the ancient sages' discourses still provide us with quotations and aphorisms that can be borrowed for various management work. Among them, the idea of unity is the prototype of this organizational theory. In Han Fei Zi - Yang Quan, it is said, "Things are in the four directions, but the main point is in the center. When the saints are in charge, the four directions will follow." Here, for the first time, Han Fei Zi made a clear division between the decision-making level and the executive level, and between the central and local management functions. Guan Zi said in Guan Zi - Ming Fa, "There are no two wrongs in might, and no two doors in government." Li Shimin said, "To rule a country and abide by the law, things must be delineated as one," and Luo Guanzhong in Romance of the Three Kingdoms also famously said, "For the sake of governance, there is a body, and the upper and lower levels must not encroach upon each other." These discussions have emphasized the difference between the rights and responsibilities of the upper and lower levels from different perspectives, and have clearly pointed out the indispensable and important role of unified decision-making command.

2, the incentive idea of clear distinction between reward and punishment.

In terms of incentives and rewards and punishments, Sun Tzu proposed: "The army gathered, the matter is to stimulate the gas." Zhuge Liang pointed out that: "reward to Xing Gong, punishment to prohibit treachery, reward can not be uneven, punishment can not be uneven." "Punishments and punishments do not avoid relatives, rewards and gifts do not avoid grudges," should do "no party, no bias," which means that the administrator must do reward and punishment is fair and clear, in order to serve the people to serve the public. Spring and Autumn and Warring States period of Han Fei Zi advocates "sincere merit, although sparse must reward; sincere fault, then near love must be put to death." Zhuge Liang discussed more specifically, he said, "the reward and punishment of the cause, that is to reward good and punish crime. Reward to Xing Gong, punishment to prohibit treachery. Reward can not be uneven, the penalty can not be uneven. Rewards know what they add, then the evil know what they fear." Only to achieve clear distinction between reward and punishment, in order to stimulate the good work will be carried forward, to the evil and wicked without merit some salty fear, in order to ensure that the management of the normal scientific operation of the organization.

3, the idea of the trade-off between righteousness and profit.

In ancient Chinese society, although there are some people who advocate the importance of righteousness and light profit, but there is also a group of pragmatist thinkers, philosophers advocate speaking of righteousness and profit and advocate both righteousness and profit, this is full of heavy speaking of profit and heavy righteousness management ideas, advocate "see the profit and think of righteousness," "righteousness and then take", "righteousness and then take", "righteousness and then take", "righteousness and then take", "righteousness and then take", "righteousness and then take". Then take", "righteousness, profit also", "love each other, cross profit". Su Shi in the Song Dynasty is one of them, he said in the "Li Yi and the theory of righteousness" in the "righteousness and righteousness for the use of

4, up and down the same desire of the same idea.

Any organization, there is a crowd. What kind of organization has combat power? In order to give full play to the organization of each idle open brown satin pussy and other stubble persuade long slip people's intrinsic potential, has been the manager in the effort to think about the problem. Zhouyi - Department of rhetoric in a famous saying: "the gentleman on the fellowship is not flattering, the next fellowship is not blasphemy." Ouyang Xiu said in "Cronyism" that "concentricity and ****jee, always the same", Jikang said in "divination", "not to make friends for profit, not to seek wealth". In determining the victory or defeat in the war in a variety of factors, Sun Tzu said, "the top and bottom of the same desire to win", these are highlighted the importance of people and concentric, as managers only to let the subordinates fully understand the unified, noble *** with the same goal, so that the entire organization members are united and work together in order to enhance the cohesion of the organization and the fighting forces and In order to fight for the great victory.

5, plan and then move the decision-making ideas.

In management, decision-making is a manager must first consider the primary issue. Then, managers should be how to make decisions to ensure that the decision does not miss, our ancient sages have left us many insights. "Everything in advance is established, not in advance is abolished." "People who do not think far ahead must worry about the near future." "The one who plans before doing something will prosper, and the one who plans before doing something will perish." Tell us no matter what we do what things have to plan first and then move, only planning the full, reasonable, scientific, in order to perform with ease, in order to do "not move, and measures the world in the safety of Taishan", to do things in order to succeed and not fail. The so-called "sun can candle far, the potential high; make the sun in the water, then can not candle ten steps", meaning that as a leader, should have the trait of visionary, absolutely can not be a blindfold, do not see the forest or the rat's eye, the rule of looking at the immediate interests and not see the long-term interests. Song Dynasty writer Su Shi said in "Cai Bei XVIII": "For the state has a plan for the ages, a plan for a moment, and a plan for the month that does not end." "Do not plan for the ages, not enough to plan for a time; do not plan the overall situation, not enough to plan the area," that is to say that there should be strategic and tactical decision-making, long-term planning and short-term planning, according to changes in the situation in accordance with the established goals or phases of the time, which contributes to the success of the management. Visible, prediction and decision-making relationship between the success or failure of the overall situation, the Chinese people have always emphasized planning and planning, emphasizing the integrated use of strategic and tactical, and advocate planning before moving. That is why Sun Tzu said: "know the enemy and know yourself, a hundred battles will not be in danger", "know the sky and know the ground, victory is endless.
