"The Tao is eternal and inactive. If the princes and kings can guard it, the world will speak for itself.
What does this sentence mean? It means that the Tao is eternal, and it never changes for itself. It is all for the sake of the world, all things, and all things, without asking for anything in return.
Have any of you ever seen God asking for something in return? No, right? It has been paying silently, giving us the sunshine, air, moisture and soil we need to survive, and telling us to live a good life without asking for anything in return.
What is this? This is the way of heaven.
Is the way of heaven for oneself? No. The way of heaven is not for oneself, so everything must obey it and abide by it unconditionally and set the laws of nature.
The way of heaven is like this, and so is the way of humanity. If the princes and kings can keep it, the world will speak for itself.
Who is the prince mentioned here? He is a wise manager, that is, everyone here.
Everyone, you are all good managers.
Lao Tzu preaches constant inaction. What does inaction mean? Wuwei means not doing anything for oneself, rather than the literal meaning of doing nothing. Jie'er is pure and inactive all day long, wearing a feather coat and a pair of cloth shoes, holding a shaking fan in his hand and talking nonsense.
Continuous articles.
Let me tell you, I am not that vulgar. If the Tao Te Ching were to be like that, it would be nothing. It would be better for us ordinary people to chat about nothing while we are idle. I think so.
The true explanation of Wuwei is not doing anything for yourself. To put it bluntly, it means not seeking benefits for yourself, taking bribes and lining your own pockets. To put it more bluntly, it means not being a corrupt official but being a good official, doing practical things for the benefit of all employees, and doing things that are respected by the people.
Someone like Secretary Geng who has a thumb.
So the question is, why do we do this?
Because Lao Tzu said that Tao is always inactive, and if princes and kings can abide by it, the world will speak for itself. In other words, if we as managers truly do not do anything for ourselves, but do something for our employees, and be selfless, altruistic, respectful of God, and loving others, then employees will
Follow us naturally.
I have always talked about what is the best management method, and the best management method can only be summarized in sixteen words: lead by example, practice it personally, be selfless and altruistic, and care for employees.
Let me tell you that people's hearts are full of flesh. Do you know that you care about your employees? When your employees see that you think about them and do everything in advance, will they not be moved? Can they not take the initiative to work harder?
?
Don't be arrogant. If you do this and the employees don't buy it, it proves that you haven't done enough, or that you have done it selfishly and the employees have seen it. Otherwise, the employees will not be like that, and if it is really like that, the HR department will not do it.
Will be hired.
Let's get back to the topic.
There is no size of the store, only how much money it makes.
The most profitable time for a hotel is not when the management is strict and disciplined, but when the employees have a sense of belonging and work together with the hotel leaders, taking the initiative and working passionately.
I guess everyone agrees with this. If you don't agree, it means you are not qualified and you have to work hard.
So how can we make employees feel a sense of belonging?
Telling everyone that a strict system will definitely not work, there is a saying in our catering industry: a strict system can never manage employees well, it can only control them.
Do you think the strict system is not enough? If the employees run away without taking care of them, who will care?
Some people say high salary.
As the saying goes, money can make all the difference, right? But I want to ask everyone, is a high salary necessarily enough? Can you guarantee that the money you give will be high?
To put it more realistically, would you be happy to be higher than you?
Haha, when it comes to human nature, everyone will think about it and start to think about their own little ninety-nine. To be honest, selfish management will be a mess, disorderly and feasible, high salary is just a flashy idea, the employee turnover rate will be higher, how to talk about belonging
feel?
So can the point-based management we are introducing now solve employees’ sense of belonging?
Let me tell you that any good management method is just a tool, just like the kitchen knife in the hand of a chopping board. A good knife is sharp or a bad knife is dull. We all like to use good knives because they are sharp.
However, the non-standard labeling of the cut vegetables has nothing to do with the knife, but has something to do with the person using the knife, right?
So, is the points system good? Yes, it is a good knife. But if you want to cut standard dishes, it depends on who is holding the knife. Is it a good manager? This is very important.
In other words, can everyone here truly do nothing and live up to the sixteen words of a manager: lead by example, practice it personally, be selfless and altruistic, and care for employees.
If you do it, your employees will give you feedback immediately. Why? Because the Tao is constant and inaction. If the princes and kings can abide by it, the world will speak for itself.

This is the training that Lao Tan gave to Zhang Liguo and his management. We have excerpted it for audio-visual viewing.
"Dear family members, today I stand on the stage and give a speech to everyone. It's like a teacher. It's quite like that. To be honest, I feel pretty good. Why? It's an honor. In my mother's words, this old boy has made a difference. Give me a speech.
Old Tan's parents are embarrassed.
I am a child from a rural area, and I came out of school because my family was too poor to study. My first job was not in a hotel, but as a loader, loading and unloading cement, which was the most tiring kind. The hair on my head was lost at that time - cement dust.
My hair was burning, and I was exhausted and sweating profusely every time I put it on. When the cement dust fell on my hair and combined with the sweat, it turned into concrete. I couldn't wash it off when it was dry. The hoop was uncomfortable, and I became bald when I got angry.
Yes, haha.
I entered the restaurant business late in life. I joined when I was 21 years old. It has been twenty-six years now and I have been working in this business for most of my life.
Someone asked me if I have enough experience in this line of work?
To be honest, I was tired, but not enough.
It’s hard work for us working in a restaurant. We get up earlier than chickens, work harder than cows, eat worse than pigs, and we have no days off all year round. Haha, everyone laughed. I’m talking about my time. It’s not like this anymore.
.
Now I sleep until ninety o'clock, don't wash my face when I get up, and get lost in the lake all day long, and then I become a fairy after get off work.
Seeing that everyone is smiling happily, I will chat with you today.
From the first day I came out to work, I told myself that from now on I would be a wage earner. Not only would I have to support myself, but I would also have to support my mother and family. Although I am a wage earner, working for myself will affect my future destiny, family situation, including everything.
Everything is not in the hands of God, but in your own hands.

This is the training that Lao Tan gave to his employees, and I also excerpted it for audio-visual purposes.
In one month, Lao Tan conducted 18 trainings of various sizes. Twelve for management and six for employees. In addition to the training, all was on-site management and follow-up, and finally the point-based management was completely introduced.
Entered the dumpling house.
Introduction is just the beginning. Later follow-up, consolidation and persistence are the most important. This depends on the ability and determination of Zhang Liguo and his management team. Lao Tan cannot always be here.
One thing is certain. In one month, Lao Tan changed everyone's views and mentality, and rebuilt the management team and employee team. This is crucial for a catering company.
To be honest, Zhang Liguo's five hundred thousand dollars was not in vain. Now his dumpling restaurant has become a veritable landmark restaurant in Zhengzhou City. It was also rated as the city's outstanding private enterprise. It has survived the epidemic for three years and has been on the rise.
Of course, this is inseparable from Lao Tan’s constant inspection and training. As the saying goes, it is better to read thousands of books than to travel a thousand miles, and to travel a thousand miles is not as good as to read countless people. To read countless people, you need the guidance of a famous teacher.
Lao Tan considers himself not a famous teacher, but he has made great achievements in the catering industry. He has been sharing his accumulated experience for free over the years and has helped many caterers in restaurants, which can be considered a merit.
