"The rolling waters of the Yangtze River pass eastward, and the waves wash away the heroes. Right and wrong, success and failure are all gone. The green mountains are still there, and the sunset is red several times..." This is the third paragraph of "Twenty-One History Tanci ", which talks about the opening words of the Qin and Han Dynasties. . I believe that many people’s understanding of this tanci comes from the theme song of the TV series " Romance of the Three Kingdoms ".
The Three Kingdoms is an era in the history of our country where heroes emerged in large numbers. The strategies and martial arts of many characters have been sung to this day, and their images are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and vividly reflected on the page. Nowadays, their temples and ancestral halls are built in many places for future generations to admire.
Among these heroes, there is a man who is not a king and is not as intelligent as a demon, but he enjoys the most incense tribute among the many heroes of the Three Kingdoms. As a military general, he stepped onto the altar step by step, and was eventually remembered by everyone in future generations.
His statues have been taken to all over the world, and his deeds have been widely spread abroad.
Having said this, I believe you can already guess who he is. Yes, he is the leader of the Five Tiger Generals of Shu - Guan Yu.
Guan Yu, courtesy name Yunchang, was a native of Yuncheng, Shanxi, and a famous general in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. Historically, his force value was considered to be superior, not at the top. After being vividly outlined in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", a perfect image of superb force and emphasis on love and justice was presented to the world.
After Guan Yu passed away, he was first consecrated by Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism; then, in order to stabilize their rule and establish trust, the royal families of all dynasties added many more titles; in the end, he achieved an eternity comparable to "Confucius " Good reputation.
In modern society, he is respected as the "Almighty God" by ordinary people from all walks of life. He can cure diseases and eliminate disasters, drive away evil spirits, attract wealth and bring good fortune, etc., and everyone must pay homage to him.
The reason is that his loyalty triggered the deepest emotion in the hearts of the public.
This point is exactly the same as Bob Chapman’s point of view in the book "Empathy-The Management of Awakening Business".
In modern business society, the vast majority of managers use various systems to restrain employees, trying to regulate their behavior in this way and create value for the enterprise; however, the consequences of doing so are actually It seriously hurts their motivation.
makes employees work just for work and rarely consider the development of the company, let alone make suggestions. When
makes a profit, we can get rich and prosperous together; when a company is in trouble, it is difficult to help each other. The author of
is the chairman and CEO of Budweiler, a manufacturing company. He uses his own personal experience to tell how to create the glory of a century-old enterprise in a loving and meaningful way.
1. Treat each other with sincerity and persevere in difficult situations
In "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Guan Yu was surrounded by Cao Cao . In order to protect his two sisters-in-law ( Liu Bei 's wives) from being harmed, he could only conditionally Agree to surrender. After all, everyone knows Cao Cao's "good reputation" as a good wife.
Cao Cao knew Guan Yu's true military strength, and in order to truly conquer him, he gave him six gifts. They are: house , silk brocade and gold and silver utensils, ten beauties, a war robe, red rabbit horse, the title of Hou Tinghou of Han Dynasty .
Guan Yu was unmoved. He gave the beautiful woman to his two sisters-in-law as maids. None of the gold, silver and jewelry were used, but the shirt was still the green brocade given by Liu Bei.
After learning about Liu Bei's whereabouts, he resolutely left the house, beautiful women, war robes, gold and silver jewelry, and official seals, returned them intact to Cao Cao, and chose to leave with his two sisters-in-law.
Guan Yu heard that the red rabbit horse could travel thousands of miles in a day, so he took it away in order to join Liu Bei faster; as for the title of Marquis Shouting of the Han Dynasty, it was granted by Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty .
At that time, Cao Cao was the prime minister, and it was the time when he was "holding the emperor to order the princes." Although it was the title he obtained for Guan Yu, it was related to his military exploits and could be ignored.
The surrender of a military general is a major failure in life. Guan Yu was not moved by money, fame and fortune, and he lived up to his reputation of loyalty.
Starting from the sworn friendship in Taoyuan, Liu Bei has not betrayed his loyalty, and Guan Yu will naturally treat him with sincerity.
Just imagine, in modern society, how many people can withstand the temptation of giving away a house, a car, a beauty, or a job.
As Bob Chapman said in his experience, even when Budweiler was on the verge of bankruptcy, he did not lay off a single employee; instead, he took out all the financial data of the company and worked with his employees. Analyze and ultimately overcome the difficulties together.

2. Killing you while you are sick is not all about business development
When Guan Yu attacked Changsha, he encountered the defender Huang Zhong.
Huang Zhong is famous for his archery skills and has the ability to pierce a Yang with a hundred steps. He is older than Guan Yu, but his force is not weak at all, even more so.
On the first day, the two men fought for a hundred rounds under the city, with no outcome in sight. The Changsha governor was afraid that Huang Zhong would make a mistake, so he ordered his troops to retreat.
On the second day, Guan Yu summarized his experience in the battle with Huang Zhong the previous day, and he was going to use his best drag knife strategy to kill his opponent. The two fought for fifty or sixty rounds. Guan Yu pretended to be weak, turned around, slapped his horse and fled, with Huang Zhong chasing after him.
Guan Yu was riding a red rabbit horse, which ran faster and Huang Zhong could not catch up.
The road at that time was not smooth, and Huang Zhong's horse stumbled and fell off his horse. At this moment, Guan Yu only needed to turn around and kill the veteran Huang Zhong with a single blow.
However, he did not do this, but told Huang Zhong, your horse is not good, go and change horses and fight again.
On the third day, the two fought for dozens more rounds. Huang Zhong, under pressure from the prefect, prepared to fake defeat, lure Guan Yu to chase him, and then kill him with an arrow.
Just before the arrow was about to be shot, Huang Zhong remembered that the day before, Guan Yu did not act benevolently to kill him while others were in danger, so he shot off his helmet tassel with an arrow as a warning.
Guan Yu knew that Huang Zhong was a master of archery and could shoot himself under a horse. He just did this just to repay his kindness. Therefore, he took the initiative to withdraw his troops and withdraw from the war.
After Huang Zhong returned to the camp, he was framed by the prefect as a treasonous enemy and wanted to kill him, but was rescued by Wei Yan.
If you treat me with kindness and justice, I will repay you.
On the second day, if Guan Yu did not let Huang Zhong go, one of the five tiger generals of Shu would be missing, and the future confrontation with Cao Wei would be even more difficult.
On the third day, if Huang Zhong had not thought of Guan Yu's benevolence and righteousness the day before and killed him with an arrow, the history of Shu would have been rewritten.
Mutual support and win-win cooperation are exactly the corporate cultures that Budweiler upholds.
Since 1987, it has made more than 74 acquisitions, many of which have faced bankruptcy.
These acquired companies were not directly merged or reorganized. Instead, with the help of Budweiler, they gradually got out of trouble and developed. Similarly, when problems arise at Budweiler, they will actively find ways and ideas to help them solve them. Eventually, they formed a community of interests.

3. Unconventional management model
The greatest good deed of a company should be to care for its employees. Budweiler's primary mission: to enable all team members to live meaningful and fulfilling lives.
Guan Yu's management "treats the soldiers well and is proud of the scholar-bureaucrats".
He cared about the ordinary soldiers under his command, but looked down upon other management. This was one of the reasons that led to the defeat of Maicheng and his final death.
The national policy of the Shu Kingdom for a long time has been to "harmonize Sun Quan in the east and reject Cao Cao in the north." When Sun Quan proposed a political marriage, he was humiliated by Guan Yu, which directly led to the breakdown of the Sun-Liu alliance and caused the Shu Kingdom to be jointly attacked by Sun and Cao. When
was commanding Jingzhou , a fire broke out in Nan County city, burning a large amount of materials.He even scolded the person responsible for management without asking the reason, and even wanted to punish him.
This also led to the fact that when he attacked Cao Wei, his backup troops refused to send troops, and he was defeated and died in the end.
Only top-down, humane system management can more effectively stimulate the enthusiasm of everyone, create more value for the enterprise, and facilitate the perfect implementation of various systems.
4. Everyone adds firewood and the flames rise
"The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" perfectly portrays the image of Guan Yu, especially his loyalty, bravery and benevolence, which are highly praised by religions and dynasties. But it is the feudal society that really made him a household name. People at the bottom.
Businessmen value profits more than justice, and they travel abroad for business. If their integrity is not recognized, it will be difficult for them to move forward.
Guan Yu is from Shanxi, and his bravery and integrity are well known throughout the world. In order to facilitate their walking, Shanxi merchants regarded him as their patron saint. Everywhere they went to do business, they would build Guan Yu's temple in guild halls and residences. First, they hope that their business partners can believe that they are as honest as Guan Yu; second, they hope that Guan Yu's bravery can help them fend off Xiaoxiao's thugs and protect their own safety. They have always adhered to the business philosophy of " virtues in the world".
As the business of Shanxi merchants expanded, Guan Yu's deeds spread to all walks of life.
All walks of life, in order to make the people believe in their faith, also enshrined Guan Yu.
Ordinary people value loyalty and money very seriously. They believed that Guan Yu could ward off evil spirits; and because Guan Yu invented the tomorrow-clearing bookkeeping method (the earliest running account), they worshiped him as the God of Wealth.
Guan Yu used his own affection to truly realize that " his body may perish, but his name can be preserved among the bamboos and silks."
He is not a very good leader, but he is an absolute vision maker. He used his faith to resonate in the hearts of the world. As long as you are compassionate and righteous, you can become happier.
This is what Baiweiler has been doing. Only passionate employees can bring more vitality to the enterprise.

Conclusion:
Guan Yu has too many titles, the name of Guan Shengdijun is just one of them. He used his kindness to arouse the resonance of ordinary people. If you want to make management no longer cold and want to become a leader who creates vision, you may want to try " empathy - management of awakening business ".
