Features: The catfish, a species known for its high activity level, doesn't have much that stands out. However, since fishermen began using it as a tool to ensure the survival of sardines during long-distance transportation, the role of catfish has gained increasing recognition. Sardines, by nature, prefer quietness and stability. They lack a clear awareness of the dangers they face and are content with their current state. The fishermen, cleverly leveraging the catfish's active nature to ensure the survival of sardines, also gained the greatest benefits in the process. This book is not truly about the story of the catfish, sardines, and fishermen. Unlike other similar stories, this book applies the story to the daily management of enterprises. Through the relationships among the three, it explains the role and mechanism of the "catfish effect" in corporate management.
In terms of content, this book is not only a personal reflection of an experienced corporate manager who has read numerous economic management books but also a collection of insights aimed at resonating with those in similar situations. It can also be seen as a contemplation on how to navigate life and interactions. The writing of this book stems from the author's years of experience and reflections in managing large state-owned enterprises. While I dare not call it a classic management book or a guide to navigating life, I hope it can resonate with corporate managers and inspire those who share similar feelings.
