Features: There is no description more fitting to describe the abundance of talents in the Three Kingdoms than the phrase "a sleeping tiger hiding a dragon." This book compiles the author's writings from the "Cao Tang Xin Yu" column on the Yuan Liu Boshi website's "Three Kingdoms Great Camp" section. It is categorized into life, management, planning, operation, communication, handling affairs, winning hearts, decision-making, military strategy, personnel management, and anti-intelligence, extracting Three Kingdoms wisdom from seventy-two themes. For example, from the positioning theory that once swept the global corporate world, the image design of Liu Bei and Cao Cao is analyzed; the distant northern expedition strategy of Zhuge Liang is explained using the frog theory; the advantages and disadvantages of Cao Cao's enthronement of the emperor are evaluated using the USP advertising strategy; from Machiavelli's words, the appropriateness of Liu Biao's neutral stance is discussed; Zhuge Liang's leadership style is examined through the lens of delegation management; and the responsibilities of Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang in Guan Yu's negligent loss of Jingzhou are assessed. Without prioritizing () or debates, it subtly explains many unresolved cases and judges several right and wrong issues.
