Features: Among the five practices of Personal Mastery, one is Personal Mastery. Please note the word "Personal." Everyone and every company wants to become better and better, and wants to achieve transcendence. But if you only surpass when pushed by others, can such individuals and companies achieve brilliance? Personal Mastery emphasizes self, and this concept fully aligns with Marxist dialectics. Marxism holds that: internal factors are primary, the basis; external factors are important, but secondary, the condition. How can a company develop strong self-transcendence capabilities? It must focus on three "musts": must carry out education on aspirations; must shift from a tool-oriented work perspective to a creative work perspective; must challenge the limits. At the same time, it must pay attention to three "no's": for employees, it should not seek to control them but rather inspire them; for forces that influence change, it should not seek to suppress them but rather transform them; for employees and oneself, it should not be "reactive" but "creative."
