Features: I gradually discovered that business administration is actually more like the study of interpersonal relationships. Business operations are essentially the process of interpersonal interaction. When a company handles its relationships with employees and customers well, its business can grow bigger. The good reputation of Japanese companies in business operations is largely related to their emphasis on cultivating "personality elites" and establishing an environment of honest business practices. The employee training of Japanese companies, starting from cleaning and morning meetings, not only includes a large number of case study courses but also involves learning tea ceremonies, volunteering, 100-kilometer races, meditation, reflection, and even scrubbing toilets with hands. Industry readers can find some resonance in the book, such as feeling a "heartbeat" when reading certain passages, experiencing an "aha moment" when encountering others, and discovering that their inner self unintentionally "ascends" at several points. However, what is more important is the "enlightenment" that follows the feelings, enabling our business people to "awaken." This is akin to "searching for him a thousand times in the crowd, only to turn around and find him in the dimly lit corner."
