I think Zeng Guofan is right.
The way to be in power is nothing more than two things: one is to build a team, and the other is to lead the team to achieve the set goals. How to build a team?
According to the framework of human resources development and management, it is nothing more than "selecting, educating, using, staying and encouraging". And Zeng Guofan said that it is widely accepted, used with caution, diligent and strict, which probably means the same.
Extensive recruitment means extensive recruitment of talents, and we must not be picky. "Virtue is difficult; Not to mention both. " "Talents are cultivated, and the vision cannot be too high, which means that no one is available."
What is prudence? "Its wide desire, use it with caution. We are only cautious about employing people, and others have no focus. " After carefully observing everyone's strengths, strengths and weaknesses, Zeng Guofan fostered strengths and avoided weaknesses, put the right people in the right position, matched people with posts, and made the best use of their talents. For example, he used Taqibu and Bao Chao, Li Hongzhang and Li Hehe, and Rong Hong.
Zeng Guofan believes that talents "are mostly honed by force." Diligence means diligent training, and the main measures are military lessons, post experience and role models. The standards he set for civil servants are integrity, non-bureaucracy, multi-organization and less talking; The standard set for military attaché s is to be able to govern the people, not afraid of death, to suffer hardships, and not to be greedy for fame and fortune. He asked his subordinates to be diligent in body, eyes, hands, mouth and heart.
Strict rope, that is, strict requirements, emphasizes the control of teams and talents. He asked Li Hongzhang, "Don't be embarrassed. Since you are in my tent, I have something to tell you. There is only one word here. " Be strict with Li Hongzhang and cultivate him deliberately. "Shaoquan's talent is the closest to the public. All the letters of inquiry have great advantages. It will make extraordinary achievements in the future and even shine on you. This is unknown."
Because Zeng Guofan set an example and acted impartially, no matter whether it was praised or criticized, everyone could take it orally and accept it humbly. "An example of thunder and rain and dew is the spring breeze."
With talents, the team will be strong and the objectives and tasks will be accomplished well. In doing things, although success has an element of luck, it is more important and more important that "Zhi Zhi will decide later, decide later, be quiet later, be quiet later, be safe later, be considerate later, be safe later", careful analysis, overall consideration, careful planning, and resolute implementation, so as to achieve these points, it will occupy "the right place, the right time and the right people". What else can't be achieved?
