Features: Renowned management expert Mr. Dai Wancheng is both 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 the University of Oxford. Over the following three decades, he held key positions in well-known multinational companies such as JPMorgan Chase, Standard Chartered Bank, 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 immersed himself in the of China 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 both inner sage and outer king can business managers drive the smooth development and long-term prosperity of their enterprises. The "Inner Sage" consists of "Person, Heart, Skill, Wisdom, Gain, and Path," representing the six aspects of a manager's self-cultivation (""). The "Outer King" consists of "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. Mr. Dai Wancheng is reluctant to monopolize this achievement. In his spare time, he travels extensively to teach and share his insights with business leaders across the country, receiving widespread acclaim. At the request of many students, Mr. Dai Wancheng compiled his teachings into this book, hoping to contribute to the improvement of management practices 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. The book is divided into twelve chapters, covering topics such as: Person → Self-Awareness; Heart → Macro Vision; Skill → Technical Ingenuity; Wisdom → Oceanic Wisdom; Gain → Practical Insights; and Attitude → High-Quality Teams.
