Tao Te Ching and Wuwei Management

Chapter 1 Preface Tao Te Ching and Inaction Management
Once upon a time, when it came to management, people would think of western management, from Fayol, Weber to Taylor, from Mayo, Drucker to Mike?Porter.Now, almost everyone in the corporate world knows Welch, and it seems that only the management of "foreigners" is effective and effective.

But, you know what?While domestic entrepreneurs are talking about the theory and practice of western MBA management courses, deifying "foreign management" and flocking to them, "foreigners" are digging the traditional cultural treasures of our Chinese nation. He started the "Tao Te Ching" and regarded it as the management standard.

According to reports, a little-known small company in the UK has rejuvenated itself through the study of the Tao Te Ching and achieved a 200% surge in profits, which has attracted the attention of many major media in the UK.The well-known Bell Laboratories in New York, USA, has made remarkable achievements in research work. When talking about the way of governing the institute, Dr. Chen Yuyao, the head of the institute, would point to Lao Tzu’s “Govern by Doing Nothing” banner hanging in his office and explain: “Leadership The responsibility of the leader is to ensure that you are leading others, but also that others do not think that you are interfering with them." Dr. Chen Yuyao's words can be said to be right in one sentence. It is a vivid example of the successful application of the management thought of "governance" in modern enterprises.Due to the intensification of economic globalization and market competition, especially the rise of Japanese business circles in the world business market in recent decades, more and more western management scholars have begun to pay attention to Chinese Taoism, especially Laozi’s management ideas and management principles .American management scientist John?In his book "The Way of Leadership—Leadership Strategies in the New Era", Hyde quoted many aphorisms from "Lao Tzu".He highly admired Lao Tzu's thought of "quietness and inaction", and made his own brand-new interpretation of this thought from the perspective of management in the book.

However, how many enterprises in our country can understand the essence of management and specific measures from the "Tao Te Ching"?Who will carry forward our own traditional management culture?

Turning the title page of history, the industrial revolution and social revolution that the West took 200 years to gradually complete, we have compressed it into a short period of [-] years.With the reform and opening up and joining the WTO, China's economic pace is getting faster and faster.Before it's too late to rejoice, Chinese companies will face new global competition and tests, and this competition has gone far beyond the scope of wealth competition.

On the way of creating wealth, we began to think and explore the business ethics and cultural heritage behind wealth.As an organization, explore what kind of new production management order should be established to deal with huge and rapid challenges?Explore how an enterprise, as a citizen, should accumulate business ethics and undertake social responsibilities while creating wealth, so as to make the society full of harmony and innovation?Explore what kind of culture should be established for a company that dreams of becoming bigger, better and stronger, so that employees can share weal and woe with one heart and one mind, so that they can be indestructible and conquer everything without a fight?
"Tao Te Ching" is an excellent representative of Chinese traditional culture, the ancient "Oriental Bible" for self-cultivation and life, and the first great work to expound Chinese philosophy in poetic language.Although the article is only more than 5000 words, its concept is "one size fits all".Laozi's ideological system contains rich and exquisite management wisdom, and it still has an extraordinary and profound influence and inspiration on modern enterprise management.His "inaction" thought is not only the core content of Daoism, but also the crystallization of wisdom that best embodies the content of management in traditional Chinese culture.This book attempts to discuss the organic combination of "inaction" and modern enterprise management, and explores the application of "inaction" in modern enterprise management, so that "inaction", a treasure of traditional management thought, can be used in modern enterprise management. Radiate a new light.

The thinking is endless, and the exploration is endless.Let us use the wisest oriental wisdom to explore the way of harmony between enterprises and society; explore the mysteries of cultural prosperity and vitality; explore the hopeful road to success and the realization of dreams.We look forward to entrepreneurs seeking true knowledge, seeking development, creating great achievements, and benefiting future generations through exploration.If every entrepreneur and every manager does this, perhaps more "Welches" will be born on Chinese soil.We have every reason to believe that the reasonable elements of the "inaction" management thought will surely show eternal charm and burst out brilliant sparks in the present and future enterprise management.
