With a heart-centered approach, knowing when to advance and when to retreat, in an orderly manner, to win people over. The strategy of managing and utilizing people, the demeanor of advancing and retreating in an orderly way. Those who understand the times are wise, and those who know when to advance and retreat are leaders. Leadership is about guiding; guidance is about serving. Leaders hold power, but they must use it according to the rules of advance and retreat. Only retreat without advance leads to chaos, and only advance without retreat results in abuse of power. With a heart-centered approach, knowing when to advance and when to retreat, in an orderly manner, to win people over and obey leadership, thereby achieving the leader's goals—is this not harmonious leadership? Rules are patterns, but also strategies; advance and retreat are art, but also demeanor. This strategy and demeanor are demonstrated through the dialectical relationship of inaction and action, control and use, authority and manipulation, integrity and cunning, motivation and discipline. Only with harmonious leadership can one master the strategy of managing and utilizing people, showcase the demeanor of advancing and retreating in an orderly way, and thus seize the high ground of power. The high ground of power is the high ground of leadership, the high ground of talent, and the high ground of wealth.
