Features: The book takes the perspective of "square and round" to interpret the art of managing people. Centered around the philosophy of "square and round," it delves deeply into various aspects of people management, including the flexible application of "rules" in managing people, the use of management strategies, handling relationships between superiors and subordinates, the control of power, mastering management techniques, balancing management mindset, and methods of utilizing people. It proposes that one should not manage people based on a simplistic understanding of human affairs with rigid methods, but should instead tailor approaches to the actual circumstances of subordinates, employing a combination of firmness and flexibility to maintain a proactive position in managing people. Thus, it aims to create a harmonious and proactive management environment where superiors and subordinates work together in unity and drive for progress.
