Guiguzi said "The following is small, and the following is high, and the following is big. In this way, you can go out and enter everything, and you can do everything. You can talk about people, families, countries, and world." This sentence is a wonderful saying by Guiguzi when teaching people how to find people to do things. For many people, it has always been very difficult to find people to do things, because they do not understand Guiguzi's words, so they often encounter walls when recruiting people to do things, and ultimately it is difficult to achieve their expected goals.
The meaning of this sentence is "Use people around you who have low status to find people with high status, so that people with high status can contact people with high status, so that such equal dialogue can work. This is a communication skill. If you use this skill, you can convince people, convince the family, convince the country, and finally convince the world." This method is very simple, but unfortunately, not many people can use it.
In our lives, there are often many things to be dealt with, and the smooth handling of things cannot be separated from communication and cooperation between people. And for a stranger, how should you find him to help you? Guiguzi's method is to help you find the right person on an equal basis. It is actually not easy for people with low status to find people with high status to help. If the status of the two people is unequal, then your request is likely to be released. The other party will think, "I can help you, what can you help me?" so either ignore your request or write you a blank check to save you from annoying him. If your leader really helps you, then you will be lucky.
so if the other party has a higher status than you, you need to find someone with a reliable status to do this. This person can be his own relative, friend, colleague, etc. In short, this person must be able to speak in front of the other side so that the requirements you make can be met. What if the other party’s status is lower than that of himself?
Guiguzi also said that for people with lower status than themselves, find someone with lower status close to you to find that person to help, so that the other party can help you on the same level. As a leader, you will not accept this favor, nor will you feel any pressure from a person with lower status than you because of your identity as a leader. In this way, kill two birds with one stone and things can be done smoothly.
Therefore, there is a lot of knowledge in asking for help. You need to consider whether the other party can handle it smoothly, and you need to consider appropriate methods, so that the scheduled plan will be implemented smoothly. If some people's methods of asking others to do things are confused, then their own affairs may not only fail, but will easily offend others and make others dislike themselves.
Asking for others is something that everyone has experienced. Although Guiguzi's words are short, they reveal the essence of 's dealing with people and . In fact, in many other aspects, we can still use what Guiguzi teaches us to deal with other things. Guiguzi's lifelong wisdom is worth learning for life.
