Many people like to be a leader, not only can they get more resources, they have more power, but they are also respected, and they don't want to lose it when they get it.

But no benefits are given in vain, behind the halo of the leader, you need to pay a greater price, take on more responsibilities, bear heavier pressure, if the virtue is not worthy, it will not last long.

A leader who has WeChat in front of his subordinates must do at least the following 3 points:

1. Care for your subordinates from the bottom of your heart

is also commanding and commanding others to do things, and some leaders can make their subordinates do their best, even at the cost of their lives; The key is whether there is practical care for subordinates.

Wu Qi, a famous general of the Warring States Period, saw a soldier with thick sores on his legs during a difficult march, so he personally used his mouth to suck the sores and poison; When the soldier's mother learned of this, she wept with grief;

Others asked her, why are you still crying when your son has such a good superior?

The soldier's mother said that General Wu Qi had used to take sores and drugs for her husband, and then her husband died on the battlefield in order to repay his kindness, and it seemed that her son would also die on the battlefield.

The so-called "death for the confidant" is this truth.

Love this kind of thing, there is something, there is nothing, you can't pretend to be, even if you can pretend, others can feel your falsehood.

If the severity and harshness of the appearance is based on love, even if the other person does not feel it at the time, he will understand it later.

2. Share weal and woe with subordinates and take the lead

There is a saying in the Bible: "Whoever wants to be the head of you will be a servant to all." This is where the phrase "servant leadership" comes from.

In ancient and modern times, inside and outside, almost all excellent leaders have the mentality of servants.

What is the servant's mentality?

That is, when you encounter advantages, you must avoid them, if you have difficulties, you must go first, and you must go ahead in the face of danger; If others have nothing to eat, you will starve with them; When it rains, not only can't you let someone else open an umbrella for you, but if someone else doesn't have an umbrella, you can't do it either; When it's cold, others wear single clothes, and you can't wear cotton clothes; Do not engage in special and preferential treatment, and mingle with everyone, so that we can unite and unite at critical moments.

The key to leading troops is to manage yourself, as long as you do it first, no threats, no persecution, others will naturally follow suit; Therefore, if the subordinates have poor execution, they must first find the reason from themselves. As the saying goes, you can never let someone help you do what you can't.

3. Kindness and power should be combined, and principles and rules should be emphasized in love

Managing subordinates is like raising children, if they only talk about love and grace, and do not talk about principles and rules, they will become indulgent and pampered, and their hearts will be sloppy and lazy. Once you get into this habit, it's hard to change it.

So, as a leader, you must not only have love, but also majesty. How majestic should it be? Li Jing, a general of the Tang Dynasty, said that you should let your subordinates fear you more than they fear the enemy.

When they face a powerful enemy, they will inevitably retreat; But let them know that if they fight to the death against the enemy, there is still a glimmer of hope of survival, and if they escape, they will surely die.

Although Wu Qi treated the soldiers with great kindness, he demanded that as soon as they heard the sound of war drums and saw the waving of flags, they should charge immediately, otherwise they would be in danger of beheading.

Sun Tzu told King Wu that he would train soldiers, but King Wu didn't believe it, so he said to Sun Tzu, if you can train my harem concubines well, I will hand over the army to you; In the subsequent training, the concubines didn't take it seriously at all; Sun Tzu ordered the killing of King Wu's two favorite concubines, and the rest of the people were immediately honest and let them do whatever they wanted.

Huang Shigong, a master of war, said: "Soldiers can be lowered, but not coquettish." It means that you can be courteous and approachable to the soldiers, but you must not pamper them.
