Features: When you embark on the Zen path and possess sufficient wisdom, you will naturally understand how to manage, everything will flow effortlessly, and nothing will be too difficult for you. Many management challenges can find answers in Zen. Zen is not just about (lit: dim lanterns and ancient Buddha statues), nor is it about idleness—it is a philosophy, a form of wisdom, and a height of life. Zen can cultivate the self, nurture one's nature, heal wounds, and cure illnesses. It is like a warm ray of sunshine in winter, illuminating the (: traveler/practitioner) and helping them stay away from restlessness while maintaining a clear mind. This book explains abstract management behaviors from the perspective of Zen, presenting them in a novel and natural way without forcing artificial connections. The book is divided into ten chapters, covering aspects such as leadership, talent management, innovation, the relationship between leaders and employees, awareness of potential risks, decision-making, emotional management, and the art of criticism. Through over a hundred philosophical management stories, it introduces over a hundred management principles that are easy to understand and apply, offering guidance to managers in various industries. Its beautiful stories and slightly Zen-inspired management aphorisms sweep away the trend of opportunistic commercialism in the market for management books, providing readers with a refreshing and pleasant aesthetic while also enriching their knowledge. This book is suitable for middle and senior-level managers in enterprises, teachers and students in middle and higher education institutions majoring in related fields, management consultants, and other readers interested in management.
