Features: This book is part of the "Four Great Classical Novels Management Philosophy" series, teaching you how to become a skilled manager. Being a leader is the highest realm of being a person. You must have something superior to others to lead them, not just anyone can be a leader, and not just anyone can become a leader arbitrarily. Song Jiang from Water Margin is a good leader. Water Margin, also known as Loyal and Righteous Water Margin, is about loyalty and righteousness. Song Jiang's loyalty is not to the court but to his own people. Without this, he could not have become the leader of Liangshan. Song Jiang is loyal, trustworthy, humble, and polite, which is why he was chosen as a leader. He is full of brotherhood but lacks arrogance, earning the nickname "Jisiyu" ( ) from the Jianghu. Song Jiang turns yielding into contention and retreat into advancement. He repeatedly "gives up" his position, only to ultimately seize it. Confucius said, "To gain through yielding" (The Analects, "The Beginning"), and Song Jiang grasped the essence of Confucius. "Yielding" is etiquette. Everything can be achieved through etiquette. What is etiquette? It is the existing rules and the yet-to-be-established norms. The Doctrine of the Mean states: "There are three hundred rites and three thousand ceremonies, waiting for the right person to carry them out." This is exactly the point.
