When Gauss was 7 years old, his father sent him to Yekate Lin Ning Elementary School. Soon after learning, Gauss showed unparalleled talent. The best proof is that when Gauss 10 was 0 years old, the teacher Biaotenell arranged a very complicated calculation problem and asked the students to add up all the integers from 1 to 100. As soon as the teacher described the topic, Gauss handed in the slate and the answer at once. Biaotenell didn't care about the move at first, thinking that the little guy was making trouble again, but he was surprised when he found that the only correct answer in the class belonged to Gauss. Even more surprising is Gaussian algorithm. He found that the first number plus the last number is 10 1, and the sum of the second number plus the penultimate number is also 10 1 ... * * There are 50 pairs of such numbers, multiplied by1kloc-0/. This algorithm is the calculation method of annual series that the teacher has not taught. Gauss's talent made Biaotnell very excited. After class, he made a special report to the headmaster, claiming that he had nothing to teach Gauss, and bought math numbers from Hamburg for Gauss.
2. Wang Rong Morning Meeting
Wang Rong was very clever when he was a child. When Wang Rong was seven years old, he often played with many children. They saw a lot of fruit on the plum tree by the roadside, which bent the branches. Other children scrambled to pick the fruits, but only Wang Rong didn't move. Someone asked him why he did this, and he replied, "Plum trees grow on the roadside, but they bear many fruits. These plums must be bitter plums. " The man picked the fruit and tasted it. It's true.
Zhuge Liang borrowed an arrow from a straw boat.
Zhou Yu was jealous of Zhuge Liang and always wanted to find a reason to kill Zhuge Liang.
One day, Zhou Yu asked Zhuge Liang to make 65,438+10,000 arrows, saying that it would be 10 days. Zhuge Liang readily agreed and said, "I will send 65,438+10,000 arrows in three days." Zhou Yu was surprised.
Zhuge Liang borrowed 20 clippers and 600 soldiers from Lu Su, covered each boat with a piece of cloth and piled bundles of hay on both sides. After learning about this, Zhou Yu was very suspicious and wanted to know what tricks Zhuge Liang was playing.
Before dawn on the third day, Zhuge Liang called Lu Su and said, "Please go with me to get the arrow." Then, connect 20 clippers with long ropes and sail all the way to Jiangbei. At that time, the Yangtze River was foggy and there was no one on the other side. Lu Su didn't understand and asked Zhuge Liang what was going on. Zhuge Liang just laughed and didn't answer.
Soon, the ship approached Cao Cao's water village (reprinted from the first model network, please keep this mark. )。 Zhuge Liang ordered the bow to face east and the stern to face west, and the news spread. And asked the soldiers to beat drums and shout together. Cao Cao listened to the report and said, "I'm afraid there will be an ambush in the foggy weather." Let the navy and army archers shoot arrows at them first, and then March when the fog clears. "So, the arrows rained down on 20 ships.
The arrow landed accurately on the densely arranged bundles. After a while, Zhuge Liang ordered the crossbow to overturn, and then lined up from west to east, so the other side was shot by an arrow. When the sun is about to rise, the fog will soon clear away. Zhuge Liang ordered the sergeant to sail and shouted together, "Thank you for the arrow!"
When the ship reached the south bank, Zhou Yu had sent 500 soldiers to wait for the arrow to move by the river. After unloading, there are 123000 arrows. Lu Su met Zhou Yu and told Zhuge Liang about borrowing an arrow. Zhou Yu sighed and said, "Zhuge Liang is really ingenious. I am really not as good as him! " "
4. Liu Bang's way of employing people
Born into a peasant family, Liu Bang rose up in the peasant uprising at the end of Qin Dynasty and finally overthrew the tyrannical Qin Dynasty. In the Chu-Han War, he once again showed his glory, defeated Xiang Yu and completed the reunification of the country. Since then, he has perfected the political system. Cut off the rights of the opposite sex princes and strengthen centralization. All Liu Bang's achievements are inseparable from his good use of people. Today's society is a competitive society. In the final analysis, social competition is the competition of talents. How to employ people is a university problem. Today, we study Liu Bang's skill of employing people in order to get some enlightenment from it. Let me talk about Liu Bang's employment skills.
Why did Liu Bang win the world? It is a gift. How to gather talents? How to use talents? How to play the role of talents? Teacher Yi Zhongtian summed up eight characteristics and analyzed them brilliantly. Throughout the ages, only by gathering talents and making good use of them can we achieve great things. Liu Bangzhe set an example for others. It is worthy of managers' in-depth thinking, learning and reference. -Zhuge Changqing
Yi Zhongtian: In troubled times, Liu Bang rose up, dressed in cloth and with a sword of three feet, stormed Qin, resisted powerful enemies and ruled the world, and established the longest-lasting unified dynasty in the history of China. Liu Bang's success lies not only in his daring to struggle, being good at learning and growing up in the battle, but also in his superb leadership skills and being able to unite a large number of outstanding talents around him. In the Biography of Emperor Gaozu in Historical Records, Shang (Liu Bang) asked, "If I can learn geometry?" The letter (Han Xin) said: "Your Majesty can only manage 100,000." He said, "How about Yu Jun?" The letter said: "The bigger the official, the better the ear." He smiled and said, "The more the better, what is my bird?" The letter said: "Your Majesty can't be a general, he can only be a good general. That's why this letter is for your majesty. "
In Liu Bang's view, employing people is the most important way to success, and Liu Bang's way to success is his art of leadership ... Liu Bang can make the best of his talents: Han Xin, who will lead troops, dares to give up; Sean, who is good at strategy, can strategize under him; Xiao He, who will manage the accounts, can give money at will-but does Liu Bang really let go of his hands and feet and ignore everything? Of course not. I summed up eight characteristics of Liu Bang's employment.
The first characteristic is to know people and be good at their duties.
I think knowing people and being good at their duties lies in knowing people and being good at their duties first. To know a person, first know your friends, and then know yourself. You have self-knowledge, and self-knowledge is the greatest wisdom. This is really difficult, and Liu Bang is a man with self-knowledge. He knows very well what the most important talent of a leader is-mobilizing the enthusiasm of his subordinates. Zhuge Daoxi: This is the true meaning. It is to know what talents your subordinates have, what these talents are, what characteristics these subordinates have, what strengths and weaknesses they have, and where to put them. Being a leader doesn't mean doing everything by yourself. Hands-on leaders are by no means good leaders. As a leader, as long as you master a group of talents, put them in the right position and let them give full play to their enthusiasm and role, your career will be successful. Liu Bang understood this fundamental truth, so Liu Bang became the core figure of his group. Zhuge Changqing, consultant of China Zhuge Think Tank: It is the highest level of leadership to use talents in the best position.
Confucius said in his administration that "rule by virtue is like Beichen." What is Beichen? It is the North Star, arched by the stars. You see, Polaris will never move. Outside Polaris is the Big Dipper, which revolves around Polaris. The Big Dipper is moving, but the North Star is not moving. The core of leadership is not to move, so let others move. Liu Bang is the North Star of their military group, and Xiao He, Sean, Han Xin, Chen Ping, Fan Kuai, Zhou Bo and Cao Can are his Big Dipper. Zhuge Changqing: Can you be the North Star? Are your men willing to revolve around you?
The second characteristic of Liu Bang's employment is eclecticism.
Another great advantage of Liu Bang is that he can use talents in an eclectic way, so everyone in Liu Bang's team has it. Let's take a look at what kind of team this is: in this team, Sean is an aristocrat, a tourist, Xiao He is a county magistrate, Fan Kui sells dogs, Guan Ying sells cloth, Lou Jing is a coachman, a robber and a trumpeter, and Han Xin is an unemployed youth ... But Liu Bang combined them into one, and instead, he didn't care that people said that he led a miscellaneous army and he was a grass head. Zhuge Changqing, consultant of China Zhuge Think Tank: In the eyes of excellent leaders, there is no waste, only talents who have not found advantages. Aren't the heroes of Water Margin 108 ordinary people? What Liu Bang requires is that all talents can give full play to their roles. What's this called? This is called eclecticism.
The third characteristic of Liu Bang's employment is to have coachable.
Many people in Liu Bang's team used to be officers under Xiang Yu. Because he couldn't stay in Xiang Yu's army, he ran to find Liu Bang. Liu bang opened the door to welcome guests without discrimination. You are welcome to come. Han Xin, for example, turned out to be Xiang Yu's men. I came to Liu Bang because I couldn't play a role under Xiang Yu. For example, Chen Ping-he walked more roads-turned out to be Wang Wei's man. Because it didn't work, he defected to Xiang Yu, and then he defected to Liu Bang. When Chen Ping fled to Han Ying from Xiang Yu's army, Liu Bang was very happy. He asked Chen Ping what was Mr. Chen's position in Xiang Yu. Chen Ping said, as the captain. Liu bang said, well, you'd better be a captain with me. Immediately appoint Chen Ping as the captain. After the appointment was announced, public opinion in Han Ying was in an uproar. But Liu Bang ignored it. You talked about you. I appointed me, and I trust Chen Ping very much. In fact, a leader should do the same. If he is always petty and fussy, can he recruit good talents? I'm afraid even the people under the account will leave him. Zhuge Changqing, consultant of China Zhuge Think Tank: The prime minister can punt in his stomach, and the world is as big as yours.
The fourth characteristic of Liu Bang's employment is to forget the past.
In the sixth year of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bang had won the world and sealed a number of heroes, but there were still many heroes who were not sealed-because it was very expensive to discuss this matter, so he dragged down the matter of sealing heroes. One day, Liu Bang saw a group of people sitting on the ground in the palace, whispering in the distance. He asked Sean nearby: Ovary, what are those people talking about? Sean said, Your Majesty, don't you know? They are talking about rebellion! Liu bang said, don't talk nonsense about ovaries. The world has just settled down. What's wrong with it? Sean said, so your majesty doesn't know. After your majesty won the world, he sealed a group of heroes, most of whom were your cronies, such as Xiao He, and some people who had offended you before were punished. Now these heroes are thinking about a problem, saying that how many people in this world can be resurrected, and those of us who are not closely related to your majesty, or even have sinned against your majesty before, will no longer live? Even your majesty will find a fault to "click"? They couldn't figure it out, so they discussed rebellion there. Liu bang immediately woke up and realized that this was a serious problem. He asked, "Why?" Ovary. What did you say?/Sorry? Sean said, please think about it, your majesty. Are there any such heroes? He has made great contributions and has a bad relationship with your majesty? Liu Bang said, Yes, there is a man named Yong Chi. He insulted me again and again, and I wanted to kill him for a long time. But his contribution is too great, and I feel sorry for it. Sean said, well, please "seal yongchi as an urgent matter to show the princes"-please raise yongchi as soon as possible. Liu bang accepted this suggestion and immediately sealed why yongchi was waiting. When Yong Zhi believes, all heroes are at ease. You see, yongchi has been blocked-everyone knows that this yongchi is the most annoying person of the emperor-even he can seal Hou, so we should all rest assured. What's this called? This is called letting bygones be bygones. Zhuge Changqing, consultant of China Zhuge Think Tank: rewards and punishments are clearly the best means for leaders to achieve management.
The fifth characteristic of Liu Bang's employment is honesty.
We know what talents need most. Respect. Of course, it's not bad to pay a little more if possible. The only way you can respect these talents is to be honest and tell the truth. Liu bang has such an advantage. Sean, Han Xin, Chen Ping, if you have any questions, you can talk to Liu Bang and ask questions. Liu Bang will answer truthfully and won't tell lies. Even if such an answer is humiliating, he won't lie. Sean got the news before the hongmen banquet that xiang yu would send troops to destroy liu bang the next day. Sean once asked Liu Bang, please think about it. Can you beat Xiang Yu? Liu Bang's answer is "solid and untrue"-you can't beat him. Later, when Han Xin came to Liu Bang's army, he also asked such a question: Your Majesty, can your ability, charm and strength be compared with that of Xiang Yu? Although Liu Bang was silent for a long time, he finally told him frankly: "It is better to be impregnable." -I'm not as good as him. However, it is these people who can help Liu Bang put forward his own plan, provided that Liu Bang can tell everything truthfully and never hide it. In this way, if you trust and respect each other, you will get the same return, trust and respect from each other, and these people will try their best to help him with advice. Being honest with each other is indeed some experience that we can learn as leaders.
Liu bang's sixth characteristic of employing people is that he does not doubt employing people.
The most taboo for a leader is to see all the people suspicious all the time, suspecting one thing today and another tomorrow. Liu bang has the courage. Once he decides to use someone, he will never doubt it or let it go. The most typical example is Chen Ping. After Chen Ping came to vote for Liu Bang from Xiang Yu, he won the trust of Liu Bang, which made many old people under Liu Bang dissatisfied. Therefore, some people went to Liu Bang to speak ill of Chen Ping. These people who went to report gave Chen Ping such a charge, which can be summed up in eight words: "stealing a wife, collecting money, being willful." However, after "investigation", Liu Bang felt that although Chen Ping had some moral faults, his talents were more valuable to himself at this time. Therefore, Liu Bang apologized to Chen Ping and asked him to stay in the army.
It is because of Liu Bang's trust that Chen Ping is willing to play for Liu Bang. Liu Bang and Chen Ping once had a conversation. Liu bang asked, you see that we are now deadlocked with Xiang Yu, and no one can eat anyone. Please think about how to make a surprise attack and end this war as soon as possible. Chen Ping said that Xiang Yu was suspicious. We can use this double agent to make Wang Xiang stop trusting his people, which is equivalent to cutting off his right-hand man. Isn't that enough? Liu bang said that this idea is good, so please ask Mr. Chen to operate it. There is no problem with the cost, and the funds will be allocated immediately. 40,000 Jin of gold-please note that the gold here is actually copper. At that time, gold was brass-Liu Bang gave Chen Ping 40,000 Jin of brass and the money was given to you. You can use it at will, regardless of access rights. Zhuge Changqing, consultant of China Zhuge Think Tank: Trust your staff, how can you not go all out? What do you mean don't ask? Just don't reimburse, don't review, and spend what you want! As long as Xiang Yu does it for me, all the savings are yours. This was a special measure under special circumstances at that time, which reflected Liu Bang's trust in Chen Ping.
The seventh feature of Liu Bang's employment is that meritorious service must be rewarded.
To use talents, we must first trust and respect them, and at the same time give them corresponding rewards, because rewards are the most tangible affirmation of a person's efforts. You can't always flatter people with good words and say that you are a good person. You are a rare talent. You are our backbone, and then you don't give us any money. This will definitely not work. Your efforts should be rewarded, and there should be appropriate rewards-really good work, great contribution, and more rewards; If you do it in general, you will be rewarded in general; If you don't do well, you won't be rewarded or even punished-rewards and punishments should be clear. Zhuge Changqing: Who doesn't want to be rewarded? Dare to award, you can achieve great things! You can win people's hearts!
One of the problems that Liu Bang faced after winning the world was how to reward these heroes. Finally, Liu Bang ruled: Xiao He comes first. So, why did Liu Bang make Xiao He the first hero? Of course, there is also a question of intimacy. Xiao He, a native of Pei County, participated in the uprising with Liu Bang. However, I think it is reasonable for Liu Bang to list Xiao He as the first hero, or at least Xiao He as the first hero. What is Xiao He's greatest contribution? Is to rescue a large number of documents and files. What were the generals doing when Liu Bang entered Guanzhong and the army rushed to Xianyang? Rob things, rob gold and silver treasures, or ... only Xiao He rushed into the National Archives of the Qin Dynasty and kept all the maps, account books and documents of the Qin Dynasty. When Liu Bang finally ruled the country, he knew the whole country like the back of his hand, such as which place was poor, which place was rich, which place had some products and what happened. It is Xiao He who has such information. From this point of view, Xiao He is indeed a talented person who manages the country and is a prime minister. He knows the importance of this information, that is, the importance of information, information and so on.
The eighth characteristic of Liu Bang's employment is secret control.
For example, Xiao He was listed as the first hero of the founding of the People's Republic of China by Liu Bang, and Xiao He became his first prime minister after the founding of the People's Republic of China, and was later worshipped as the prime minister, ranking second only to Liu Bang in the court. But even for people like Xiao He, Liu Bang actually controls it in secret. It's just that Liu Bang has been keeping a straight face-unlike Xiang Yu, when he doubts a person, his doubts are written on his face, which makes people see at a glance-Liu Bang's doubts and suspicions remain silent.
In the autumn of the 12th year of Han Dynasty, Ying Bu, the king of Huainan, rebelled, and Liu Bang led his troops to counter the rebellion. Xiao He stayed in Beijing. He is the prime minister. During the war, Liu Bang kept sending messengers back. When the messenger comes back, he must see Xiao He. They must say that the emperor asked little Guo Xiang how he was recently, and he was very concerned and considerate. Xiao He was very moved and made greater efforts to provide logistical support for Liu Bang's operations. At this moment, one of Xiao He's men told Xiao He, what did the Prime Minister think of your majesty? Xiao He said, alas, the emperor trusts me very much. You see, he often sends people to care about me. Xiao He's doorman sneered, Do you think the emperor really cares about you? This can't reassure you. He keeps sending people back to see what you are doing, to see if you want to rebel!
Therefore, Liu Bang's employment is a typical imperial skill: on the one hand, there seems to be no doubt that he employs people, and you don't have to reimburse 40 thousand Jin of gold; On the other hand, he is extremely suspicious, but suspicious, and keeps a straight face. His skill is very clever, which is the universal law of all so-called "promising monarchs" and is not a "patent" of Liu Bang alone. In a word, Liu Bang knows the art of leadership and has the qualities of a leader. It is precisely because he can trust talents, use talents, fully mobilize their enthusiasm, and secretly prevent and control them that he can gather all the outstanding talents in the world to form an optimized combination, thus defeating Xiang Yu and heading for victory.
Zhuge Changqing: As a leader, we must put talents first. Only with talents can we win the world. This is the secret of success at all times and in all countries. How can we live in the world without people? Without talents, how can we develop? Without talents, there is no benefit.
