Features: Seeking advice is a very subtle and profound art. Whether a manager is good at seeking advice directly affects the rise and fall of a company. Emperor Taizong Li Shimin was an outstanding master of seeking advice. The positive atmosphere he promoted for advising and his own high-level skills in seeking advice have become the golden rules pursued by modern business managers. The eleven-character aphorism for seeking advice that every manager cannot afford to ignore. This book focuses on the examples of Emperor Taizong seeking and accepting advice as a breakthrough point. Based on the modern management theory that "decision-making power" is the most important function of a manager, it closely ties into the "decision-making" link in the "discuss—decide—execute—evaluate" process. While tracing the series of tracks of Emperor Taizong seeking and accepting advice, it emphasizes explaining his methods of seeking advice and proposes the eleven-character aphorism: "Use," "Guide," "Accountability," "Motivate," "Praise," "Reward," "Evaluate," "Correct," "Leverage," "Warning," and "Punish," for readers to reference.
