Features: If the top executives of a company are likened to the "waist," then a bad waist leads to a burdened leader. Middle managers must pass three gates: the boss gate—if your boss doesn’t recognize you, even if you have extraordinary skills, you’ll still be left in despair; the peer gate—if you’re too outstanding and threaten your peers’ interests, they will unite against you; the subordinate gate—if your subordinates turn against you, your career will end unhappily. Some middle managers are capable and passionate but constantly face obstacles at work, even to the point of quietly stepping down. The sadder part is that they may never understand the reason behind their downfall. Skill lies beyond the poem, and in the workplace, middle managers should first learn to be human before learning to do business. This book explains the various unspoken rules of the workplace, which are not revealed in university curricula or company regulations. When you are well-liked by your boss, peers, and subordinates, what more can’t you achieve?
