Workers and bosses operate in completely different worlds.
Why would a boss—or a horse ranch owner—step onto the track to race against a horse and compete on who’s faster? That’d be insane. As a boss, there’s only one job: manage people. Get that right, and everything else falls into place.
Say XX works late tonight. I’ll buy him fried noodles, then post on WeChat Moments, “XX is so hardworking—our company can’t function without him.” When XX pulls consecutive late nights for a month, I’ll swing by his office, give his feet a massage, then post, “XX’s not taking care of himself—his feet are calloused and cracked.” Do this enough times, and every employee will be competing to work overtime. It’s never about the late-night meal—it’s about getting the billionaire boss to personally massage their sore feet. It’s the same logic behind buying a top-spec Xiaomi car: you’re not after the vehicle itself; you’re after the experience of CEO Lei personally opening the door for you.
Don’t jump in to speak first. Let your employees talk. Praise more, criticize less. Listen more, share fewer personal opinions. Sure, you’ve got ideas—keep them to yourself. Outwardly, don’t show your hand. Just absorb other people’s ideas. Even when you do have a strong opinion, let someone else voice it for you.
Because when others speak up, they get rewarded, which boosts their motivation and sets off a “paying a thousand gold for a horse’s bone” demonstration effect on those still waiting for recognition. Doing it once makes you look fake; doing it your entire career becomes your core competitiveness. Learn to bow to everyone you meet, greet people warmly as “brother,” cater to others’ dignity and emotions, and give them a stage to shine. That’s more than enough. You already command vast resources and occupy an advantageous ecological niche. As long as you’re willing to play this role for life, countless talents will gladly surround you, serve you, and become vassals in your ecosystem.
So what’s the point of horse racing to a worker? What if someone’s smarter than you? Around you are plenty of powerful followers—let them handle things slowly. Smart people age and pass away eventually. Can intelligence be inherited? No. Their descendants will still have to start from scratch, fighting through level one all over again. The real danger is pretending to be clever, showing off, and insisting on stepping onto the track to duel solo.
Whether you’re a boss or a second-generation heir, the greatest taboo is arrogance. The hardest trait to overcome is human nature itself.
So how should workers navigate this?
