Features: Renowned management expert Mr. Dai Wancheng is a knowledgeable scholar of management theory and a seasoned practitioner with extensive management experience. After graduating from university, he received systematic business management training at Oxford University. Over the following three decades, he held key positions in well-known multinational companies such as JPMorgan Chase and Citibank. On one hand, he extensively studied cutting-edge Western management theories and advanced management methods, summarizing his own management experiences. On the other hand, he deeply immersed himself in China's excellent traditional culture and its unique management philosophy. These two aspects mutually reinforced each other, gradually forming a complete management system—namely, the "Six Orders of Inner Sage" and the "New Five Matters of Outer King." Mr. Dai Wancheng believes that only by comprehensively enhancing their own management capabilities and achieving the state of "Inner Sage and Outer King," can business managers drive the smooth development and long-term prosperity of their enterprises.
"Inner Sage" refers to "Person, Heart, Skill, Wisdom, Gain, and Path," representing the six aspects of "self-cultivation" for management professionals. "Outer King" refers to "Attitude, Strategy, Momentum, Change, and Goodness," representing the five approaches to "managing others." Management is the process of "self-cultivation and managing others." This management system, refined over nearly two decades, has achieved ideal results when implemented in different industries across various countries. Unwilling to monopolize this achievement, Mr. Dai Wancheng, in his spare time, travels extensively to teach and share his insights with business leaders across the country, receiving widespread praise. At the request of many students, Mr. Dai Wancheng compiled his thoughts into this book, hoping to contribute to the improvement of management and operational standards in Chinese enterprises.
This book is both a distillation of management theory and a summary of management practice, making it an invaluable classic for business managers. It is divided into twelve chapters, covering topics such as:
- Person → Self-Awareness
- Heart → Macro Vision
- Skill → Technical Ingenuity
- Wisdom → Oceanic Wisdom
- Gain → Practical Insights
- Attitude → Building High-Quality Teams
