Features: Leaders hold the compass and rudder that guide the ship of the organization forward. Their goals and positioning determine the fate of the organization. Balance should be the optimal state that leaders strive for, yet imbalance is the norm. When facing the of organizational imbalance, how can leaders grasp both ends of the scale and achieve balance effortlessly? This is a great art and a practical skill. This book elaborates on the theory of leaders maintaining balance in their optimal state and how to grasp balance at every stage. This book does not aim to study this so-called "theory of balance" using a plethora of advanced theories and models such as topology, operations research, and systems theory. Because, in the art of leadership, balance is not a science but an art. It requires a subtle understanding and a heart-based intuition to master it effortlessly, rather than relying on complex models and formulas to calculate a certain result. We believe that no leader would delve into a mountain of theories to painstakingly research and calculate when making any decision related to organizational balance, only to arrive at a result that may be completely irrelevant, or even an impossible result. This is because the number of factors (or "variables," as some scientism enthusiasts might call them) influencing balance and their complex relationships far exceed the scope of current human technology to solve.
