Features: Editor's Recommendation: Being a leader is not easy, but being a deputy leader is even harder. When things go well, your superiors may not notice your contributions; if things go wrong, they will notice it. If you manage too little, your superiors will say you are not working hard; if you manage too much, they will complain that you are "overstepping your bounds" and that you have ambitions. Many deputies worry and can't sit or lie down peacefully. In fact, there are rules for being a deputy, and throughout China's five thousand years of history, countless people have excelled in the role of deputy. Their experiences are a valuable asset for today's deputies to learn from. Some deputies may not seem entirely successful, but they have also left unique things in the treasure trove of experience and lessons. This book selects several of the most representative historical figures as deputies and introduces their work artistry, using the past to illuminate the present.
