In the past, many people were too narrow minded about Laozi's "Inaction", or only literally deduced that "Inaction" means that people should not do something or do nothing. This is a passive misunderstanding.

In fact, Lao Tzu's theory of "Inaction" is a highly abstract philosophical concept whose rich connotation is far from being understood.

Leader

If we can understand the profound connotation of "Inaction", we will be more effective. Therefore, "Inaction" is the greatest accomplishment of leaders.

I understand that Laozi's "Inaction" can be understood from four aspects.

First, we must follow the rules and not act blindly.

Laozi said, "Tao often does nothing but does nothing" and "road is effective and natural."

This tells us that only by respecting the objective laws can we achieve full results by giving full play to our subjective initiative.

If it is a violation of objective law, it is the act of rash, and the result is bound to "fail for the person, and the executive loses it."

Second, we must act according to "Inaction".

Laozi said, "there is nothing for nothing."

enterprise

Leaders should play the role of coach in accordance with the principle of "Inaction" instead of athletes. They should hand over most of their daily affairs and even very difficult things to subordinates so that they can display their own abilities. This makes leaders look like nothing and no small matter, so that more time and energy can be used to consider big events.

This is a way of emphasizing effectiveness, understanding leadership skills and being good at motivating, and never doing nothing.

On the contrary, if anyone goes to the leadership of anything, and the leader himself is willing to deal with those trivial things, it seems that "doing something" is actually a waste of time. This kind of "picking up sesame and losing watermelon" will eventually lead to a leader doing nothing to the enterprise.

Therefore, Han Feizi said, "it is all right to use its power, but nothing is to be done."

Third, we must rely on the principle of "Inaction" and leave room for improvement.

Because leaders have nothing to do, this gives the subordinates the opportunity to be extremely intelligent and capable of developing their ambitions.

Once they have achieved results, the leaders can also get good reviews.

Laozi said: "after the sage is his body, the body is first and the body is external.

It is not for its innocence, but for its own sake.

In this way, when others are working hard to make others work harder, they will be able to push you to the position of "body first" when they get tangible results.

Besides, if the subordinates do something wrong or fail, the leader will not be late.

Fourth, we must follow the principle of "Inaction" and do not show love or hatred.

If a leader does not reveal his love and hatred for someone, something or something, then the lower level can not give it up, so he can not find ways to satisfy the leader's likes and dislikes and achieve the purpose of pleasing the leader.

So we have to work honestly and dare not use opportunistic means to achieve personal purpose.

Therefore, Han Feizi said, "if you want to see (now) your desires, your ministers will carve them."
