Wei Wenhou gave this piece as a fiefdom to his son Wei drill . In the court, Wenhou asked the ministers: "What kind of monarch am I?" Everyone said in unison, "You are the benevolent monarch." ", the upright poster said, "King, if you have obtained Zhongshan Kingdom, you will not grant it to your younger brother, but to your own son. What kind of benevolent monarch is this?"
Wei Wenhou was furious. Seeing this, Ren Zuo found an excuse to escape. Wei Wenhou asked Zhai Huang again, and he replied, "You are the monarch of benevolentity." Wenhou said in his heart, "You are the monarch who says this, you are the same as others say this, so you are the same as you say this. Said it, it was clearly perfunctory to me.
Zhai Huang
Wenhou said, "Where did you know?" This is like a girlfriend asking you, "Am I beautiful?", you must say, "very beautiful", and your girlfriend also asks, "Where am I beautiful?" , this is a truth.
Zhai Huang replied, "I heard that the king is kind, so his ministers dare to speak out loud. The words of the seat just now were very straightforward, but you did not kill him, so I knew that you are the monarch of benevolence." Hou was very happy and sent Zhai Huang to take back his seat and return his parents to welcome him, and regarded him as a guest of honor.
Wei Wendi
From this short story, we can get some inspiration from three angles
1. Person perspective
In our modern society, whether it is a company or a government unit, most people have developed the habit of flattery. But there are always some people who disdain this, whether they have noble character, unwilling to be with the crowd, or seeking fame, they are always used to sing opposites with everyone.
As the saying goes, good medicine is good for diseases, and honest words are bad for hearing and good actions.
This shows that to be honest, everyone doesn’t like to listen to it, so we must pay attention to methods and strategies. We cannot speak faster than our brains. We must think of a tactful statement.
2. Wei Wenhou’s perspective
As a leader, Wei Wenhou has absolute authority, and this power can easily make people fall into a kind of blind confidence. Once someone’s opinions are different from those of him, he thinks he is targeting him and disobeying himself. Discipline and accuse yourself of your authority in person.
Leaders should think clearly about the real purpose of asking this question?
: Do you want to hear everyone’s hypocritical voice or real voice? Hypocritical voice can only satisfy your temporary self-esteem, while real voices can point out the real problem and know where you are wrong.
3. Zhai Huang's angle
If Zhai Huang's clever explanation, Ren Zu probably won't end up being very good. Zhai Huang's speaking skills are what we need to learn. The same problem can be explained from multiple angles, but different The explanation also foreshadows different solutions.
The society is more complex nowadays. There are intrigues within enterprises or government units. The gangsters are rampant. People who only know how to do things with peace of mind can get more things.
If you want to be appreciated by your leader, you must better show yourself while doing things well, including how to speak during meetings and get the appreciation of your leader.
