Features: Due to the rise of individual consciousness and social diversification, everyone has different ideas and values. Therefore, when working, everyone has different opinions. How to achieve consensus through collective effort depends on how leaders apply their leadership skills. However, most leaders struggle with how to make their subordinates work in harmony. In fact, 2,500 years ago, Sun Tzu's Art of War already taught a sharp and insightful solution, known as the famous "United Boats of Wu and Yue." The people of Wu and Yue had long been at odds with each other. One day, the people of Wu and Yue boarded the same boat, still hating each other from the moment they got on. Suddenly, a fierce wind blew, and the entire boat swayed violently. In this situation, they no longer cared about their old grievances and worked together to overcome the danger. When people face a strong enemy, a sense of crisis naturally arises. When a person feels a sense of crisis, they will naturally do their best to turn it around. Additionally, when a person is threatened by a crisis, all pretenses are stripped away, revealing their raw humanity. Therefore, when a person faces a crisis, it is the time for their primal nature to be exposed and their potential to be unleashed. At that time, Sun Tzu was thinking about how to build a strong army when he happened to hear the story of "United Boats of Wu and Yue" and suddenly realized that "a sense of crisis" was the key to solving the problem. Without a sense of crisis, it means losing the drive. No matter how much you educate your subordinates, you won’t achieve the expected results. Only when facing a crisis will people seriously think about how to break through it. At this time, their desire to learn is also very strong. When the Sandali Brewery was making a lot of money from whiskey, Chairman George felt that his employees were showing off their arrogance due to the booming business, which was a great crisis for the company. Therefore, he demanded that employees change their attitude to save the company from the hidden crisis. Since ancient times, whenever outstanding leaders face a crisis, they often return to human nature and realize that the starting point of leading subordinates is there.
