Outstanding leaders in history
Li Shimin, Mao Zedong, Napoleon, Genghis Khan, Kangxi and Cao Cao.

Ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, excellent * * * can not be separated from these excellent qualities. Let us take Cao Cao as an example.

1 perseverance

When Cao Cao and Yuan Shao were at loggerheads in Guandu for several months, Cao Cao felt unbearable at first. His soldiers were originally few, but now he is very tired, his rations are also very insufficient, and the rear area is unstable. He almost lost the confidence to stick to it. So he wrote to Yu Xun, who stayed behind, saying that he wanted to give up Guandu and retreat to Xudu. In his reply, Yu Xun advised Cao Cao to stick to it, because the two armies were at loggerheads and everyone was very tired. It depends on who can stick to it for a while. And from the perspective of heaven, any stalemate can't be forever. At some point, the general trend will tilt in a certain direction, so Yu Xun said, you must stick to the day when things change, and never give up at this time. After receiving the letter, Cao Cao strengthened his confidence and continued the stalemate with Yuan Shao in Guandu. In fact, change will come soon.

In ancient and modern history, not only Cao Cao, but almost every successful person, including modern famous Yun, Liu Chuanzhi and Ma, has never experienced the so-called moment from birth to death. If you look at history more, you will know how important perseverance is to a successful person.

2 Decisiveness

The turning point in the battle of Guandu was that Xu You of Yuan Shao's camp defected to Cao Cao's side. When Cao Cao heard that his old friend had come to vote, he was too excited to put on his shoes and ran barefoot to meet him. On the one hand, it can be regarded as Cao Cao's informal corporal; On the other hand, it can be seen that he is too anxious and stressed. He knows very well that it will be good for him to come here, so he is eager to see Xu You and discuss a good way out of the predicament. It doesn't matter if he is barefoot.

Xu You did suggest that Cao Cao set fire to the granaries and nests in Yuan Jun, so that Yuan Shao's 100,000 troops would collapse immediately. This sounds reasonable, but the premise is: Xu You's vote is sincere, not Yuan Shao's conspiracy. However, time is pressing, and Cao can't verify whether he really defected. In this case, he chose to believe in permission and take risks. That night, he personally led an army to attack the Wu Dynasty, burning all the food and grass of Yuan Shao, which became a turning point in the battle of Guandu.

From this decision, we see a "gambler-like" Cao Cao, which seems to be contrary to his always suspicious and thoughtful personality, but this is precisely the trait that needs to be possessed in the scene at that time. At this time, Cao Cao's grain and grass were almost exhausted. If you don't find a way to defeat Yuan Jun at once, it will really be defeated or even wiped out. Taking risks is better than doing nothing. If I were you, I might have chosen to believe Xu You. To achieve great things, you need the courage and courage to take risks. If everything is determined before action, many opportunities will be lost.

A thoughtful "suspicious" person like Cao Cao never doubted that Xu You was pretending to surrender? Compared with that year, Battle of Red Cliffs's former Tian Feng advised Yuan Shao and Cao Cao attacked Liu Beishi and quickly sent troops to destroy Cao Cao. Yuan Shao, on the other hand, was unwilling to delay the fighter plane because his precious son was ill. Who do you think subordinates would be more willing to follow if they were the same two leaders?

3 tolerance

After the war, Cao Jun seized a large number of Yuan Jun's documents, many of which were secret letters exchanged between Cao Cao's people and Yuan Shao. It was suggested that Cao Cao investigate the mole according to the signatures of these letters, but Cao Cao burned the letters. He explained afterwards that Yuan Shao was so powerful that I didn't have the confidence to win, let alone my employees. Therefore, everyone should leave a way out for themselves, which is understandable. I'll burn all these letters now, and everyone can rest assured.

I don't believe that this action has nothing to show, it is completely sincere. But Cao Cao's genius lies in that this action, which is difficult to distinguish between true and false, shows his mind and tolerance, and also soothes the internal employees, so that everyone can continue to work with peace of mind and let these people feel grateful for themselves in order to make better contributions to the company in the future. To achieve great things, you need to have such a broad mind and understand the hearts of employees.

Shaw believes that the biggest challenge for future leaders is to be themselves. How to be yourself well is a problem that we should keep thinking about in the future.
