To be a great leader like China president Wen Jia Bao (温家宝) personally lead his rescue team to SiChuan earthquake disaster (四川大地震) during Chinese New Year in 2008, sacrifice his own family gatherings but treat his people as a whole family, a very noble lead on great leadership skill!
Remember the history on Romance of Three Kingdoms when Cao Cao (曹操) army hunger on food shortage during war time, he frame his rations supervisor on stealing and cheating, killed him on the spot to maintain and boost his army morale. This story tells you that rather sacrifice a small rations supervisor but you save the entire troop in losing confidence and morale to fight against your greater enemy, might ends up completely annihilated (全军覆没). In realistic during economic crisis, would you sacrifice or frame your payroll officer on his late calculation on workers’ pay in order to earn more time for your preparation or delaying workers’ strike?
Once you understand this philosophy still not enough because nowadays Chinese are becoming smarter hence you require additional elements to win the heart of your men. Although Cao Cao’s nickname was treacherous minister (曹贼) but what he said he will do it. During a war he command his troop to throw sand bags into the river banks in front of his enemy castle in order to build a path to go through the main gate. But none of his men willing to go because thousands of arrows shooting down but Cao Cao take the lead to throw the first sand bag and return in survive, hence his army one by one sacrificed and build a bloody sand bags pathway to attack the main gate! In real life, if your workers working all-night rushing for your goods, and you as their superior would you go off earlier or stay behind working with them boosting their moral and productivity to gain their trust, confidence and loyalty?
Another crucial element is Cao Cao didn’t possess but Liu Bei (刘备) has it, that is charisma. Many talented advisor like Zhu Ge Liang (诸葛亮) and his powerful general like Guan Yu (关羽), all of them attracted by Liu Bei’s charisma instead through temptations or rewards, 100% loyalty and willingly to sacrifice their life and soul to Liu Bei. Some people has inborn charisma but actually you could cultivate it by sticking together through thick and thin (同甘共苦) in years with your men, gaining their trust, earning their loyalty and obey you with great respects! Many entrepreneur in China do you think only base on individual efforts could climb up to fame and wealth? This require your personnel in trustworthy in life and dead assignment, talented to turn peril into safety (化险为夷), faithful to obey without doubts and leading them by your personal conduct and example (以身作则).
Leadership in China often sacrifice everyone gaining personal beneficial but using money to control and lead people to his conspiracy, is it true? Is a thousand years of China culture philosophy that could not be challenged and shaken from the Imperial rule to nowadays Communist Party Government. You will find that no book theories are used in my article only examples because theory not always right but real life practical through many failures and struggles in your conscience will cultivate you to become a great leader!
