Be a True King.

5 Lessons you need to become a strong leader.

Wisdom from Xunzi.

//THREAD//
In any organization,

Your goal is to be the leader.

Hunt, or be hunted.

A leader commands.

The people obey.

To be a great leader and maintain your position?

You need tactics.
Lesson 1: Meritocracy

Promote the worthy and capable.

Don’t wait for them to rise through ranks.

They will create and contribute.

Use them wisely.

Ignore them and risk losing pivotal generals.
Lesson 2: Addition by subtraction

Dismiss the unfit and incapable.

Don’t wait at all.

They are the cancer.

They will pollute your troops and poison your organization.

Cut. Them. Off.

Quick.
Lesson 3: Establish authority

Don’t jumble up the worthy and unworthy.

Don’t confuse what is right and wrong.

Keep your reputation intact.

Your order will be obeyed.

What you prohibit will come to a stop.
Lesson 4: Create order

Welcome those come bearing values.

Punish those come bearing negativity.

The gentlemen will come to you.

The petty men will not dare visit your kingdom.

Total equality is not order.
Lesson 5: Care for your people

You’re the ship.

Your people are the water.

The water carry the ship.

The water can also overturn the ship.

Treat your people with fairness and empathy.

Be wise.

Sail smoothly to the promised land.

If you read books without applying the knowledge, you will just become a book shelf.
Time is like water in a sponge. If you squeeze it hard enough, you’ll find time.

“The most successful people manage themselves.”

— Peter Drucker

How to succeed.

A thread.
1/

How to find your strengths?

Write down your vision of the future.

Check in a year later to compare the reality with your expectations.

This feedback analysis show you what you’re actually good at,

Rather than what you thought you were good at.
2/

Self-management begins and ends with your values.

What are your values?

Your success doesn’t just depend on what you’ll do,

It also depends on what you won’t do.

The quest of finding your values starts with your ethics.

Only the paranoid survive.

A thread.
1/

Listen.

Keep your ears opened to:
- Self-evaluation
- Constructive feedback
- Market players’ chatters

Be harsh on yourself.

You’ll know what to improve.

Change.

Run a business?

Work a 9-5?

Don’t matter.

Changes will always hit your career or hustle.

Those who are blind to the undercurrent are bound to be left behind.

Make this your mantra.

Don’t just survive.

How to adapt and thrive.

5 rules.

A thread.
1/

Victory begins with you.

Hardships and opponents may beat you.

But you must never beat yourself up.

Laugh in the face of uncertainties.

Push your limit.
Lean into your edge.

Adapt to the situation and win the game.

Victory belongs to the man who’s driven,

All the time.
2/

The only wisdom is one that works.

Don’t fear harsh truth and problems.

Seek them,
Synthesise unconventional wisdom into new solutions.

When crisis arrives,
So do opportunities.

Listen to non-obvious proposals,
Find yourself a new door.

5 Steps to reclaim your freedom.

How to break free.

A thread.
1/

Lose your desire to please.

You don’t live for anyone’s approval.

When you’re pleasing someone,

You give up on your own purpose.

Realise you don’t need permission to live your dreams.

Then you’re free to do anything.
2/

Lose your desire for useless things.

Seek within,

Look for the “why” in wanting things you don’t need.

Fix your own insecurities with purpose and competence.

No amount of material stuff can fill the hole in your soul.
